Image-Based Object Tracking System and Image-Based Object Tracking Method
First Claim
1. An image-based object tracking system, comprising:
- an object, on a surface of the object is disposed with a color stripe, the color stripe dividing the surface of the object into a first section and a second section;
a camera, configured to capture real-time images of the object;
a computing device, an object tracking algorithm is stored in the computing device; and
a display device, comprising a display screen and electrically connected to the computing device, and the display screen configured to display the real-time images of the object;
wherein, when the computing device starts the operation of the object tracking algorithm, the computing device performs the following steps;
(i) checking whether color characteristics of the object stored in a database of the computing device, otherwise starting a step of color learning to store the color characteristics of the object in the database of the computing device;
(ii) creating an object tracking window; and
(iii) when the image of the object enters into the object tracking window, tracking the position of the object based on the color characteristics of the object stored in the database.

Abstract
An image-based object tracking system and an image-based object tracking method are provided. The image-based object tracking system includes an object, a camera, a computing device, and a display device. A color stripe is disposed on the surface of the object. The color stripe divides the surface of the object into a first section and a second section. The camera is configured to capture real-time images of the object. Further, the object tracking algorithm is stored in the computing device. The display device includes a display screen and is electrically connected to the computing device, and the display screen is configured to display the real-time images of the object. By using the image-based object tracking system provided in the invention, the object can be tracked accurately and efficiently without interference with the image of the background.
