Object Based Video Analysis, Interpretation and Tracking

The role of computers in different facets of human life is increasing everyday, from one of supplementing his needs to one of integrating in the different activities, he is involved. This has become more predominant with the prolific developments in communication and internet. This brings in a need to raise the level of computers to the level of human beings and a paradigm shift from hard computing to soft computing towards the turn of this century has reinforced this. The present focus of the study is on implementing visual capabilities in computers so that involvement and interaction with humans are easier. The paper presents the details of object based video analysis for conventional engineering applications.
