Object tracking is an important function of video surveillance system. For the same object in a multi-camera environment, how to assign the same label to this object is so-called consistent labeling problem. Many consistent labeling approaches proposed by previous studies mainly based on the environment with multiple fixed cameras. In this study, a consistent labeling approach is proposed for a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera. The same object is assigned the same label while the object in the FOV (Field-of-View) of a PTZ camera without influencing by the pan/tilt rotation. In order to achieve the above goal, the proposed approach using several methods, such as temporal differencing, template matching, mean-shift tracking, Kalman filter, and so on. A template cache is also designed for preserving the templates of an object with various angles and a least recently used (LRU) replacement mechanism is used to update the cache. The experimental results show that accuracy of the proposed approach for the consistent labeling of a PTZ camera can reach about 83 percentage.
