The basic idea of this paper is to design and implement of video tracking system based on Camera Field of View (CFOV), Otsu's method was used to detect targets such as vehicles and people.Whereas most algorithms were spent a lot of time to execute the process, an algorithm was developed to achieve it in a little time.The histogram projection was used in both directional to detect target from search region, which is robust to various light conditions in Charge Couple Device (CCD) camera images and saves computation time.Our algorithm based on background subtraction, and normalize cross correlation operation from a series of sequential sub images can estimate the motion vector.Camera field of view (CFOV) was determined and calibrated to find the relation between real distance and image distance.The system was tested by measuring the real position of object in the laboratory and compares it with the result of computed one.So these results are promising to develop the system in future.
