Object Tracking Continuity through Track and Trace Method

Abstract

The demand for object tracking (OT) applications has been increasing for the past few decades in many areas of interest: security, surveillance, intelligence gathering, and reconnaissance. Lately, newly-defined requirements for unmanned vehicles have enhanced the interest in OT. Advancements in machine learning, data analytics, and deep learning have facilitated the recognition and tracking of objects of interest; however, continuous tracking is currently a problem of interest to many research projects. This paper presents a system implementing a means to continuously track an object and predict its trajectory based on its previous pathway, even when the object is partially or fully concealed for a period of time. The system is composed of six main subsystems: Image Processing, Detection Algorithm, Image Subtractor, Image Tracking, Tracking Predictor, and the Feedback Analyzer. Combined, these systems allow for reasonable object continuity in the face of object concealment.
