A method and an electronic apparatus for comparing tracking object are provided. The method applies an edge detection to a template image and a candidate image to generate a template edge image and a candidate edge image respectively. A vertical template edge image and a horizontal edge template image caused by summing (or averaging) the pixel values of the template image horizontally and vertically are used to compare with the summing (or averaging) pixel values of the horizontal/vertical candidate edge images. A measurement in the comparison is based on the positions of partial horizontal candidate edge image and the partial vertical candidate edge image. The method determines that a region of the candidate image has the tracking object according to the vertical coordinate information and the horizontal coordinate information.

Method and electronic apparatus for comparing tracking object

An object detection and tracking method and system are provided. The object detection and tracking method includes the following steps: (i) selecting one of a plurality of frames of a video as a current frame, (ii) searching in an object tracker searching area of the current frame to generate a current object tracker, (iii) searching in each auxiliary tracker searching area of the current frame to individually generate a current auxiliary tracker, (iv) when the current object tracker is located at a block different from the blocks located by the generated object trackers, generating a new auxiliary tracker at the central position of the current frame, and (v) repeating the above steps until all the frames have been processed.
