Research Abstract

In this research subject, we engaged in developing automatic object tracking using network cameras. We studied fundamental techniques for real-time motion analysis and tracking control using MPEG video streaming of network cameras. We developed an automatic motion object detection and tracking method and a novel noisy motion vector elimination method that are indispensable component technologies for video processing using MPEG motion vectors. Their effectiveness was demonstrated through several experiments using actual MPEG video data.
