Abstract
This paper investigates the field of Video image analysis depending on texture for detecting a goal and tracing its movement in a video series. Analysing images depending on texture is better than depending on colour or shape , for the goal sometimes depends on different features . The aim of this study is to propose a method for tracing a goal within a video series after detecting it in each video frame. This study exhibits one of the techniques of extracting the image features depending on the signal frequency through using Gabor filter and in different trends for each frame. Then the histogram is taken for each frame and the frame given the best description for the goal is selected , in which case the threshold is depended . Then it is transformed into the binary form of the video frame ,to decrease time consumed short in detecting the object target . The algorithm is applied to part of the video frame . The location of the object target is determined through calculating the centre for part of the frame and the operation is applied to the series of the frames of the video film . Two films have been adopted as a research sample ,The first is a person„s movement by the traffic lights in al-Nabi Yunus area and the other are the students movement at the university of Mosul in the College of Education.
