Abstract
In a motion tracking method using an image capturing device that is installed on a track system, images of a monitored area are captured in real-time using a lens of the image capturing device. The captured images are analyzed to check for motion in the monitored area, and a movement direction of the motion is determined when the motion is detected in the monitored area. The image capturing device is controlled to move along the track system to track the motion using a driving device according to the movement direction.
