The classical Mean shift algorithm for target tracking, when it is used to track window in a complex background, appears too vulnerable to avoid window jitter, which leads to a failure of accurately tracking the target; while in tracking the target of fast-moving video sequences, the loss of tracking targets can not be avoid. As an improvement based on the classical Mean shift algorithm, the proposed algorithm with characteristic of combining tracking differentiator (TD) can eliminate window jitter and predict the target location with the help of TD. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of getting over deficiency of the original algorithm and holding improved stability and robustness.
