OBJECT TRACKING

„Object tracking‟ is an important task within the field of computer vision. The prevention of theft, the focusing of light to the actor or model automatically during theatre, award show, and concerts, then the law enforcement operation such as search and rescue, prison yard security and helicopter chases. It is needed for simple object tracking designed for simple technique to keep low cost and limited processing power. This project is to develop simple object tracking by using infrared signal. The technique that can be implemented is by allowing the object to be tracked through transmitted infrared. Tracker detects infrared signal and more pointer (spotlight) towards object and the position is the feedback to control system which actuated by means of stepper motor. The adjustment can be in different elements using control system such as P, PI, PD and PID controller. This project successfully can detect the object maximum up to 3.2m.
