Moving Object Analysis Techniques In Videos - A Review

Abstract

Object tracking is an important task within the field of computer vision. It is a challenging problem. Many difficulties arises in tracking the objects due to abrupt object motion, changing appearance patterns of both the object and the scene, non-rigid object structures, object-to-object and object-to-scene occlusions, and camera motion. This paper selectively reviews the research papers with regard to tracking methods on the basis of the object, their motion representations and all detailed descriptions of representative methods in each category examining their advantages/disadvantages. It also discusses the important issues related to tracking including the use of object representation, tracking, and detection.
