Limitations a) object tracking is limited to the image plane, not in the physical world [4]. b) it assumes static background [1]. c) it incurs high computational complexity.[6] [1] R. Rosales and S. Sclaroff, “3D Traject Recovery for Tracking Multiple Objects and Trajectory Guided Recognition of Actions,” [4] S. Weng, C. Kuo and S. Tu, “Video object tracking using adaptive Kalman filter,” [6] M. Roh, T. Kim, J. Park and S. Lee, “Accurate object contour tracking based on boundary edge selection” 3

Light-weight computing due to the limited computation power of smartphones, complex algorithms requiring high time complexity and space complexity will not fit. Reasonable accuracy to estimate a remote target position based on video, an accurate tracking with the object boundary appropriately identified is very important. Interactive user interface Input from user’s interaction is a unique feature on smartphones and is very useful for video tracking. 4
