Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift (Camshift) Object Tracker

Camshift stands for "Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift". It combines the basic Mean Shift algorithm with an adaptive region-sizing step. The kernel is a step function applied to a probability map. The probability of each image pixel is based on color using a method called histogram backprojection.

The implementation of this code has used Gary Bradski's original publication, the OpenCV Library and the FaceIt implementation as references. The OpenCV library is distributed under a BSD license. FaceIt is distributed under a MIT license. The original licensing terms for FaceIt are described in the source code and in the Copyright.txt file accompanying the framework.
