. This paper proposes a novel tracking strategy that can robustly track a person or other object within a fixed environment using a pan, tilt, and zoom camera with the help of a pre-recorded image database. We define a set of camera states which is sufficient to survey the environment for the target. Background images for these camera states are stored as an image database. During tracking, camera movements are restricted to these states. Tracking and segmentation are simplified, as each tracking image can be compared with the corresponding pre-recorded background image.
