This project deals with the tracking and following of single object in a sequence of fr a mes

and the velocity of the object is determined. Algorithms are developed for improving

the image quality, segmentation, feature extraction and for deterring the velocity. The

developed algorithms are implemented and evaluated on TMS320C6416T DSP Starter

Kit (DSK). Segmentation is performed to detect the object after reducing the noise from

that scene. The object is tracked by plotting a rectangular bounding box around it in

each fr a me. The velocity of the object is determined by calculating the distance that the

object moved in a sequence of fr a mes with respect to the fr a me rate that the video is

recorded. The algorithms developed can also be used for other applications (real time,

object classication, etc.).
