A target tracking method based on BRISK feature matching and CamShift is proposed under the framework of CamShift target tracking.In this method,both the color features and local features are used to locate the targets for realizing accurate target tracking.Compared with traditional CamShift,this method can keep the real-time performance,while improving the sensitivity to the changes of background,dimensions,rotating and shading,and the oneness of the characteristics of the target tracking.The contrast experimental results show that: 1) The tracking method proposed is faster than the method based only on the feature matching; 2) Compared with CamShift,it has higher robustness to the changes of background,dimensions,rotating and shading; and 3) The precision of tracking is improved.
