The potential applications for machine vision are increasing faster than the costs are decreasing. The ability to follow moving objects is a key to machine vision and is the foundation to tracking. The principles of inspection or machine control are essentially unchanged, but the temporal environment introduces increased memory and bandwidth requirements for host processors, and increased performance requirements for the feature extraction processors. Recent developments in hardware are allowing more robust tracking systems at increasingly affordable prices. We'll explore these topics are greater length in the text which follows.
