Abstract

Contrast media is a kind of chemical substance used to improve the image quality of Computed Tomography. However, due to its high speed of injection, emergencies (such as capillary hemorrhage) always exist. In view of this problem, a video object tracking system is implemented to monitor the injection site. The color feature is abstracted from image sequences and used for the mean shift tracking algorithm. The experiment results show that the tracking system is real-time, robust and efficient.
