Here's the code reimplemented with CAMShift:

import numpy as np import cv2 cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) # take first frame of the video ret,frame = cap.read() # setup initial location of window r,h,c,w = 300,200,400,300 # simply hardcoded the values track_window = (c,r,w,h) roi = frame[r:r+h, c:c+w] hsv_roi = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV) mask = cv2.inRange(hsv_roi, np.array((100., 30.,32.)), np.array((180.,120.,255.))) ...
