Here, we present a new model-driven approach to derive a description of the motion of a target object. This method can be subdivided into an illumination invariant target detection stage and a servoing process which uses an adaptive Kalman filter to update the model of the non-linear system. This technique can be applied to any pan–tilt zoom camera mounted on a mobile vehicle as well as to a static camera tracking moving environmental features.enColor constancyVisual servoingTarget trackingBayesian modelingArticle
