Abstract
A computer-implemented method for tracking an object in a video including, in a first video frame: filtering the first video frame to delineate foreground from background and to select from the foreground an object to be tracked, said object identified at least by contour, center and color; constructing a first virtual bounding box minimally enclosing said object; using a tracking algorithm to establish a target location for the object in the second video frame based on similarity to the object identified in the first video frame; constructing a second virtual bounding box minimally enclosing the target shape at the target location; extending the second virtual bounding box; filtering the second video frame to delineate foreground from background using weighted values propagated from at least the first frame; scrutinizing the output of the second video frame by matching at least shape and color of the target shape at the target location.
