Abstract

This paper proposes a object tracking method based on the local moments, or moment based on the local moments, or moment of some restricted area, in which the idea of the viewpoint and the visual filed corresponding to the local area of an image is introduced. Using local moment with the optimally controlled viewpoint and visual field, the target position and its breadth are estimated robustly. By two experiments, the validity of the proposed method is shown.
