The effect of illumination compensation methods with histogram back projection for camshift application

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a factorial experiment performed to determine the effect of illumination compensation methods with histogram back projection to be used for tracking algorithm continuous adaptive mean used for distance approximation of an object, a precise tracker algorithm is required. This study compared two types of illumination compensation methods us (DOE) in the presence of illumination inconsistency. Based on the results, it was found that selecting two channels as reference in histogram back projection weakens the accuracy of Camshift tracking whereas the combination of both desirable.
