Object tracking plays important roles in various applications such as surveillance, search and rescue, augmented reality and robotics. This paper presents an investigation on multi-threading framework capability for color-based object tracking applications. A multi-threading framework based on Threading Building Blocks (TBB) was implemented on a multi-core system to enhance the image processing performance on a real-time visual object tracking algorithm. Intel Parallel Studio was used to implement this parallel framework. The performance between sequential and multi-threading framework was evaluated and compared. We demonstrated the multi-threading framework was approximately two times faster when compared to the sequential framework in our experiments.
