Real Time Tracking of the path of a Smart Flying Object: Tracking and Targeting a Smart Flying Object

by Umair Muhammad Arif

Tracking System has great importance in intelligent system and has a wide scope. Enormous researches are going to make such systems that are more reliable and accurate. The theory of our project is to trace the path of a smart flying object. Therefore, in order to trace the flying path, we will be using high speed CCTV cameras interfaced with PC and captures the real time video of the flying object and continuously transmit to the PC where video is processed for recognition in MATLAB’s image processing tool box. After image processing, the centroid of the object is plotted. This plot will be used to target and lock the motors circuitry to that object. The path followed by a smart flying object (For e.g. A Bee) during its normal flight is probabilistically random. A bee can take any place in the 3-D space which is not deterministic by an independent observer at all. The main theme of the project is to track the real time movement of the object using Image Processing Techniques as a tool for recognition of that object which in turn will be used to target and lock the camera to that object.
