Real time object tracking method is proposed in this paper. It provides the ability to track the moving object in color image sequences. Firstly
an improved motion detection method is used to acquire potential regions with moving object regions in the image. Then it tracks the object by combining the Mean Shift algorithm and moving detection algorithm. The experiment results show that the algorithm which can track the moving objects quickly and precisely
and the algorithm is robust to size changes of the moving objects and can track sudden appearance of objects.
