Paper Abstract
Object tracking is a direct or indirect key issue in many different military applications like visual surveillance,
automatic visual closed-loop control of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and PTZ-cameras, or in the field of
crowd evaluations in order to detect or analyse a riot emergence. Of course, a high robustness is the most
important feature of the underlying tracker, but this is hindered significantly the more the tracker needs to have
low calculation times. In the UAV application introduced in this paper the tracker has to be extraordinarily
quick.
In order to optimize the calculation time and the robustness in combination as far as possible, a highly efficient
tracking procedure is presented for the above mentioned application fields which relies on well-known color
histograms but uses them in a novel manner. This procedure bases on the calculation of a color weighting vector
representing the significances of object colors like a kind of an object's color finger print. Several examples from
the above mentioned military applications are shown to demonstrate the practical relevance and the performance
of the presented tracking approach.
