TARGET TRACKING IN VIDEO SEQUENCES USING WAVELET TRANSFORM

Automatic target tracking is a challenging task in video surveillance applications. Here, an of fine target-tracking system in video sequences using Discrete Wavelet Transform is presented. The proposed algorithm uses co-occurrence features, derived from sub-bands of discrete wavelet transformed sub-blocks, obtained from individual video frames, to identify a seed in the frame. Then, the region-growing algorithm is applied to detect and track the target. The results of the proposed target detection and tracking system in video sequences are found to be satisfactory. The effectiveness of the target-tracking algorithm has been proved as the target gets detected, irrespective of size of the target, perspective view and cluttered environment.
