Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image tracking device and an image tracking method thereof are provided. The image tracking device includes an image capture interface, a storage means, and a processor means. The storage means has a multi-dimensional storage space for storing a plurality of first images, each dimension of the multi-dimensional storage space being corresponding to a feature-related variance of a multi-dimensional variance. The processor means is configured to execute the following operations: marking a second image in the picture frame; calculating a multi-dimensional variance between the second image and each of the first images separately; determining whether the second image contains the object according to the multi-dimensional variance calculated; and if the second image is determined as one containing the object, storing the second image as one of the first images, in a specific subspace of the multi-dimensional storage space according to the multi-dimensional variance calculated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image tracking device for tracking an object in a video, which comprises: an image capture interface for capturing a picture frame from the video; a storage means having a multi-dimensional storage space configured to store a plurality of first images, each dimension of the multi-dimensional storage space being corresponding to a feature-related variance of a multi-dimensional variance; and a processor means electrically connected to the image capture…
