Object Tracking Robust to Occlusion and Size Change

Automatic real-time object tracking software written in C and openCV.
Select any region, the Software will track the region in real-time. A single observation/image is enough.
The algorithm is robust to:
1) Change of object size/distance
2) Object can be deformed
3) Object appearance can dynamically vary
4) Occlusion (Full and Partial)
5) Object out of scene temporarily.


Possible applications:
- Add-on to video editing softwares
- Set the iPhone camera to focus on a specific object while camera is moving
- Blur identity such as face in videos to protect privacy automatically
- Blur brands in videos to avoid advertisement
- Search within a video for similar objects.
- Search within a database of images for similar objects.

Wow the face recognition technology has really advanced. At this rate by 2030 we will have the capability to track black faces. I heard HP is investing millions of dollars for this.

Will it blend?

Sooo... Is this open source? Can I see how you did it? Please? XD

HP computers are racist ?

that ware great when you improve algorithm to be rotation invariant.

@b33kmen it's the same dude at 1:17 look at the scarf and the color of the shirt!!!

@TheUb3rN00b Uhh not its not, pause and look again.

[TheUb3rN00b]

@b33kmen it's a shirt

ahhh god so much fat 1:00

this is nothing new though. openCV's motion capture module has been around from, at least, before 2007 cause i remember using this software on optical sensors in one of my university's robotics workshop in summer back in 2007.

this is mazing
