Introduction

It is a GUI based program that takes in an input video, tracks a particular point to output details about the point's speed, direction, deviation, etc from a fixed path. The output analytics is overlayed on top of the original input video and is saved to a directory of the user's choice.

Features

• Take video input in numerous video formats and codecs
• Track a particlar color of user's choice
• Track the high contrast point using an iterative prediction algorithm that minimizes the number of pixels searched for the color by predicting the points motion
• Scale the output speed calculations by selecting pixels highlighting 1 track width in the program
• Save output to any directory

Usage

1. Run program and click the load button
2. Select a sample input video with a high contrast point
3. Click the track button and click on the high contrast point to set the tracking color
4. Click the scale button
5. Click on either end of 1 Track Width (tw) to set the scale
6. Click process and choose a directory to save output video to ( Progress and iterations/20 per frame in the console )
