The static camera-based object tracking system was developed using LabVIEW and Math Script node. The dynamic camera-based object tracking system has been proposed using a Fuzzy-PID controller to locate and expeditiously follow the course/ trajectory of the moving object. The pan/tilt mechanism (a servomechanism) has been used to adjust the pan/azimuth and tilt/elevation positioning of the camera setup. PID, Fuzzy and Fuzzy-PID controllers have been designed for comparison purposes. A genetic algorithm was implemented in order to obtain the optimal values of the Fuzzy-PID controller parameters. The corresponding objective function used for optimization was Integral of Time-weighted Absolute Error (ITAE). The simulation results showed that the pan and tilt system time responses recorded for the Fuzzy-PID controller were 9.4 and 7.9 milliseconds rise time, and 16 and 15 milliseconds settling time respectively. In both cases the steady-state error and the maximum overshoot were negligible i.e., steady-state was reached. The overall performance shows that GA tuned Fuzzy-PID controller has given us the best results in contrast to the other control techniques.en-USObject TrackingLabVIEWFuzzy-PIDPan/Tilt SystemGenetic Algorithm.Thesis
