In this paper, we analyze the object tracking task of mean-shift algorithm. A spatial-color and similarity based mean-shift tracking algorithm is proposed. The spatial-color feature is used to replace the color histogram, and an enhanced algorithm is derived by adopting a new similarity measure. We also introduce Lucas-Kanade algorithm to design a template update strategy, propose a template update algorithm for mean-shift. Experimental results show that these two improved mean-shift tracking algorithms have high tracking accuracy and good robustness to the change of appearance of the object.
