Hi,

I need to track a laser spot in a ROI which locate on a human stomach, for medical treatment. I capture the stomach with camera and I mark ROI on stomach by using the first frame.

I would like to know, how can I make tracking (in real-time) on the stomach ROI which I defined at the beginning??

I saw the face detection and tracking example (in the link: http://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/examples/face-detection-and-tracking-using-live-video-acquisition.html), but the code detects only faces. Can I use the above code with relatively small changes?

Thanks,

Itai

The Face Detection and Tracking makes use of Cascade Object Detector, especially Viola-Jones. It might be possible for you to train a Cascade Object Detector on stomach ROIs; once you had that trained then the tracking would be pretty similar to the face tracking code. The training might be a bit of a nuisance though.
But I am not certain at the moment if you need to track the dynamic stomach ROI, or if you just need to track the laser spot? Tracking the laser spot is probably a much easier task as it can probably be tracked by brightness or color.

Hi, How am I supposed to consider in the rotation if the body will rotate? The tracking on the "X" landmark isn't supposed to be made according to the shape of the landmark ? Or is it better to make a tracking according to colors? Using this method, the laser can be updating with the correct coordinates in real time with microprocessor or I need to use in FPGA?
Thanks!

If you're considering this as a 2-D problem, like the laser is normal to the skin surface, then rotation doesn't matter. If it's a 3-D situation where the laser hits the surface at an extreme angle and the rotations will be by extreme amounts (not sure why you can't secure the patient better though), then you will need to have two landmarks on the patient or else be able to see the edges of the body.

See my tracking demo, attached, where I track green in a Sharpie marker moving in a video. You simply need to change it from green to red if you're using a red laser.
