A video camera which is able to extract a target object within the video image shot in real time has been developed. The object extraction method employed for the camera is multi-channel threshoulding on a color plain and the sequential growing algorithm exploiting interfield correlation of a video image. An LSI chip has been also developed to carry out this process and build the prototype video camera, which has successfully realized new functions such as target tracking, color transform, and background fade.
