Abstract :
In this paper, we have proposed a new object tracking method in video sequences which is based on curvelet transform. The wavelet transform has widely been used for object tracking purpose, but it cannot well describe curve discontinuities. We have used curvelet transform for tracking. Tracking is done using energy of curvelet coefficients in sequence of frames. This method is suitable for object tracking as well as human object tracking purpose also. The proposed method is simple and does not require any other parameter except curvelet coefficients. Experimental results demonstrate performance of this method.
