An automatic moving object tracking device and a method thereof are capable of
tracking a moving object through a signal process of an input image signal of each
frame. The moving object tracking device converts a pre-processed input image signal
into a binary disturbance image signal, and calculates a motion value of each pixel
through an initial tracking window. After locating the tracking window at the pixel
where the motion value is a maximum value, a size of the tracking window is adjusted
so that the tracking window can include the moving object therein. Next, based
on acquired information about the moving object and the tracking window and previously
acquired information about previously frames, a pixel in a following frame is estimated
to be a next location of the moving object. The tracking window is positioned at
the estimated pixel. If the tracking result is satisfied, the tracking of the moving
object continues.
