Tracing feature points in a video

We learned in previous chapters that analyzing an image through some of its most distinctive points can lead to effective and efficient computer vision algorithms. This is also true for image sequences, in which the motion of some interest points can be used to understand how the different elements of a captured scene move. In this recipe, you will learn how to perform a temporal analysis of a sequence by tracking feature points as they move from frame to frame.

How to do it...

We will now start with the tracing of feature points in a video, frame by frame. Let's take a look at the following steps:

  1. To start the tracking process, the first thing to do is to detect the feature points...
