Moving object detection and tracking from video sequence : an analysis between canny edge detection and active contour technique / Mohd Anuar Mohd Salleh

Application of tracking is to monitor scenes where one would ideally have one or more
human observers identifying events and noting everything that happens. In this research,
a system to detect moving object in video sequence was develop and Canny edge
detection and active contour technique has been chosen to test the effectiveness of this
technique. Canny edge detection and active contour was developed using C++ language.
The algorithm was tested on standard image processing benchmarks and significances of
the result are discussed.
