Object Tracking: MATLAB

Table of Contents

Introduction to MATLAB OpenCV

This software program offers many functions that can be used for object detection and identification. For the golf project, the ease of MATLAB and the many offered functions were why it was chosen to create the final tracking program. 

Add Ons

You will need to go to the add ons tab and install or download some libraries. Some recommended ones to access OpenCV and other computer vision tools include:

1. OpenCV 
2. Computer Vision

Functions on MATLAB

If there is a function you are thinking of, MATLAB will likely have libraries that you can access or add ons that can assist. An example might be finding the centre of mass. As well, functions can be called by reference and are individual .m files.
