Abstract
A method and apparatus are described for improving object trackability via parametric camera tuning. According to one embodiment the improving of object trackability comprises loading prior camera settings if any stored prior camera settings are available. If no stored prior camera settings are available, loading one of a plurality of predetermined camera settings. A determination is made whether the camera settings loaded cause saturation of the image and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of the video image. If the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold, a search of camera settings is performed to increase saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of the video image.
