Beginning in January, I will be leading a senior design project that involves tracking a single rigid object in an image sequence. Can anyone suggest some standard algorithms for accomplishing this? I could dream up several approaches, but I would like to point the students to some references on techniques that are commonly used for this type of problem. I'm hoping to have them check out more than one approach, so a variety of responses would be great. Any help is appreciated. Incidentally, is there a better newsgroup for this question? This is more of a computer vision problem than an image processing problem. -- Stan Reeves Auburn University, Department of Electrical Engineering, Auburn, AL 36849 INTERNET: sjreeves@eng.auburn.edu

Can >anyone suggest some standard algorithms for accomplishing this? After receiving some initial feedback on my question, I thought I'd clarify a couple of things. I'm only interested in two directional components -- horizontal motion parallel to the image plane and motion in the direction of the camera. Speed of computation isn't an issue for now. Also, I'm using a single view, not stereo. The background may or may not be stationary. (Either assumption would be of interest in this project.) -- Stan Reeves Auburn University, Department of Electrical Engineering, Auburn, AL 36849 INTERNET: sjreeves@eng.auburn.edu

See Jain, Anil K., _Fundamentals of Image Processing_, ISBN 0-13-336165-9 Jain covers this subject quite well in Chapter 9 "Image Analysis and Computer Vision." See, in particular, section 9.12, pp. 400-406, Scene Matching and Detection. I use an adaptation of the correlational techniques described to track objects (cells) through a series of images at reasonable rates. The technique works fairly well even when the cells are undergoing moderately radical morphological changes. spl -- Steve Lamont, SciViGuy -- (619) 534-7968 -- spl@szechuan.ucsd.edu UCSD Microscopy and Imaging Resource/UCSD Med School/La Jolla, CA 92093-0608 "Living alone is living in perpetual irony and thinking, more and more frequently, Why not." - Joyce Carol Oates, "The Boyfriend"
