Abstract
This paper describes a new view control mothod that utilizes the view through TV camera for tracking a moving object. Two fundamental techniques for view control are studied. One is a method for detecting the state variable that characterizes the moving object based on its approximation by a circumscribed rectangle. The other is a background elimination method that employs both background image estimation and noise elimination by superposition of images. The validity of these methods are confirmed by experiment. Further, it is shown that both methods realize view control for tracking a moving object with ease in an actual background.
