Abstract
Template matching is an important method used for object tracking in order to find a given pattern within a frame sequence. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient is applied to each image pixel to quantify the degree of similarity between two images. To reduce the processing time, a dedicated co-processor, responsible of performing the correlation computation, is used. Cuckoo Search is applied to improve the search for the maximum correlation point between the image and the template. The search process is implemented in software and is run by an embedded general purpose processor. Results are compared to those previously obtained when using Particle Swarm Optimization for the search process, while keeping the same hardware.
