Automated cameraman

Advances in surveillance technology has yielded cameras that can detect and follow motion robustly. We applied some of the concepts learnt from these technologies to classrooms in an effort to come up with a system that would automate the process of capturing oneself on video without needing to resort to specialized hardware or any particular limitation. We investigate and implement several image differencing schemes to detect and follow motion of a simulated lecturer, and propose possible future directions for this project.
