 Objective
 To used MATLAB to detect the moving
object and at the same time track the path
the object has taken.
 Introduction
 Object detection specifies the location of
the object in the image and some could
recognize the shape of the detected object

 Object path tracking involves detecting the

direction of the object/s in motion with
respect to several images.
 Matlab Functions used:
 find - used to find the object with respect to the
threshold.
 mean - used to determine the centroid of the
round object.
 rgd2gray – converts image into gray
 Im2bw - used to convert image to black and
white to make the it a binary image.
 bwareopen - used to remove unnecessary
objects captured.
 strel, imclose – for filtering.

 Analysis
 exceeding the boundary of the view of the
camera makes the round object does not
seem like round anymore. MATLAB was
not able to compute for the centroid.
 the object in the images has successfully
been detected and tracked.
