With a combination of several simple and fast working vision modules, a robust system for object tracking is constructed. The main principle is the use of two stages for object tracking: one for the detection of motion and one for the tracking itself. Errors in both stages can be detected in real time; then, the system switches back from the tracking to the motion detection stage. Standard UNIX interprocess communication mechanism are used for the communication between control and vision modules. Object-oriented programming hides hardware details.}, adress = {Austin, Texas, USA}, groups = {before2000}, keywords = {Bild}, }
