Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of tracking and measuring moving object under complex background, a new method is proposed, which is based on machine vision, called “centeriteration”. This method takes advantage of image analysis technique to detect the profile of specified moving object and compute its center in each frame of the video from two camera. According to binocular theory, the moving object's position in the world coordinate is acquired. Therefore, the aim of tracking moving object is achieved. Experimental results show that the proposed method could track the moving object effectively under complex background.

Key words: machine vision, moving object, image analysis, binocular camera vision, object tracking, position measuring
