This paper reports a study on new, region-wide search and pursuit system for missing objects such as stolen cars, wandering people, etc. By using image matching processes on the basis of the object properties such as color and shape, the intelligent camera can search the object. Then the camera transmits the properties to the next camera to pursue the object successively. The experimental results show that the system can judge 2 cars as search object among 40 cars under conditions of changing environment. Based on these data the proposed system can accomplish a fundamental step. Finally, research subjects have been picked up for advancement such as accurate shape extraction processing, camera structure for high speed processing and multimedia attributes such as sound.
