Project: Object Tracking in Video Sequences Using Dynamic Optimisation
Supervisor(s): Cara MacNish
Project status: complete semester 2, 2008


Object detection and tracking is a branch of computer vision that deals with the process of locating and following moving objects in video sequences. While problems in this area have received a great deal of attention, recent literature has seen dynamic optimisation being used as a novel approach to finding robust and flexible solutions. In this project, I will use Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) as a technique for devising an object tracking algorithm that will be compared against traditional approaches in computer vision. I will then develop extensions to the basic PSO-based algorithm in an attempt to determine whether or not any improvements can be obtained by incorporating the relative strengths of conventional object tracking techniques.
