CAMERA TRACKING

The Camera Tracking project is a system that captures images and tracks objects. The
capturing of the image is done through a web-camera connected to a computer that runs
the program of image capture and tracking. This project is applicable in various fields. It
offers a low cost small surveillance system. The objective of the project is to develop a
system that uses a web-camera that can also act as a surveillance camera that helps to
monitor a desired object. The project deals with development of algorithm through the
MATLAB software. The basic principle of the project is the phase correlation principle
where the phase shift in the frequency domain is equivalent to the shift ofthe object in the
spatial domain. The shift of the object is represented as a peak location at the phase
correlation map. The two dimensional discrete Fourier Transform is used to decrease the
number of computation in the digital signal analysis. Other image processing routine
includes the Fast Fourier Transform and also Inverse Fast Fourier Transform.
