The Automatic Video Tracker (AVT) accepts video signal from a surveillance camera as input, tracks and provides the location of the chosen object with respect to the centre of Field of View of the camera as output. The AVT can be used to track static or moving objects from a static or moving platform. By interfacing AVT with a camera on a pan tilt platform, it is possible to continuously follow a moving object.

Video Tracker is implemented using state of the art multi core DSP to handle video frame grabbing and image processing tasks to achieve real time performance. Well known and proven tracking algorithms such as Correlation, Edge and Centroid algorithms with proprietary logic to handle obscuration have been used. The operator has the option to choose any one of the three algorithms depending on the scene, and can switch from one to the other in real-time during auto-tracking.
