how do i approach object tracking using image processing from a moving camera?

I m a beginner and i am trying to track a moving car from another car using a camera. The car is controlled by arduino and the arduino is controlled by matlab. But i don't know how to approach object tracking from a moving camera. All the methods i have been going through are for static camera. Can anyone help me with a descriptive answer?

Answer 1

Check out the Computer Vision System Toolbox. It has tracking capabilities. http://www.mathworks.com/products/computer-vision/features.html#object-tracking-and-motion-estimation

Computer vision toolbox doesn't have much about the moving camera case for beginners

Or else keep studying until you are no longer a beginner.

Do you want to track a specific car or any cars? For a specific car you can detect it using local feature matching, as in this example. You can then track it using vision.PointTracker, as in this example.

specific car. I have been trying to employ this approach for a while. thanks for the confirmation. I know i have to detect the features of the car and then find those features in next frame. But there are many difficulties with that. Initiation of the feature detection is one of them
