Abstract
The present invention provides a visual tracking system and its method comprising: a sensor unit, for capturing monitored scenes continuously; an image processor unit, for detecting when a target enters into a monitored scene, and extracting its characteristics to establish at least one model, and calculating the matching scores of the models; a hybrid tracking algorithm unit, for combining the matching scores to produce optimal matching results; a visual probability data association filter, for receiving the optimal matching results to eliminate the interference and output a tracking signal; an active moving platform, for driving the platform according to the tracking signal to situate the target at the center of the image. Therefore, the visual tracking system of the present invention can help a security camera system to record the target in details and maximize the visual information of the intruding target.
