Abstract
A method of tracking a target object using a computer system. The computer system includes a computer, a display device, and an imaging device. The computer is coupled to the display device and the imaging device. The method comprises the following steps. Capture a first image using the imaging device, the first image corresponds to the target object. Generate a second image from the first image, the second image also corresponds to the target object. Display the second image on the display device. Responsive to receiving a selection signal, the computer system sends control signals to the imaging device to track the target object. The selection signal corresponds to a selection of the second image.
