To solve the disadvantages that a traditional camera cannot track moving objects in panoramic range
this paper presents an idea about bionic compound eye panoramic detection and a related tracking strategy. On the hardware side
we use multiple sub-eye cameras to detect the whole field of view in real-time
while the center of sub-eye cameras is a large-aperture dominant eye cameras which is installed on the pan tilt and located precisely by a pan tilt controller that receives different codes. On the software side
we present an idea about automatic windowing collection. Multiple layers of windows are collected from the image of the movement area
while non-sport areas have fewer layers windows. Then
we use the method of the Gaussian model to detect the moving object. The detection method is using lateral inhibition in the overlap area to obtain the clear moving object silhouette. In accordance with the above ideas on the hardware and software sides
we build the actual experimental device
and do experiments repeatedly. Compared to the traditional camera's tracking performance
this camera has some characteristics are that the real-time detection and the combination of the windowing acquisition and lateral inhibition
so we obtain a greatly improvement in the field of view and sensitivity.
