OBJECT TRACKABILITY VIA PARAMETRIC CAMERA TUNING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of improving trackability of an object within a video image, comprising:
- loading camera settings, the camera settings including prior camera settings or predetermined camera settings, if the prior camera settings are not available; and
searching the camera settings to find a setting that causes saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of an image to exceed a threshold, if the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are described for improving object trackability via parametric camera tuning. In one embodiment, a determination is made as to whether the camera settings loaded cause saturation of a video image and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of the video image. If the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold, a search of camera settings is performed to increase saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of the video image.

7. A system comprising:
-
a storage device having stored therein one or more routines for improving trackability of an object within a video image; and a processor coupled to the storage device to execute the one or more routines to improve the trackability of the object within the video image, the processor to load camera settings, the camera settings including prior camera settings or predetermined camera settings, if the prior camera settings are not available; and search the camera settings to find a setting that causes saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of an image to exceed a threshold, if the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A machine readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to:
-
load camera settings, the camera settings including prior camera settings or predetermined camera settings, if the prior camera settings are not available; and search the camera settings to find a setting that causes saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of an image to exceed a threshold, if the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
