Camera tracking systems have become a common requirement in today’s society. The availability of high quality and inexpensive video cameras and the increasing need for automated video analysis have generated a great deal of interest in numerous fields. Generally, it is not easy to track human behavior in an environment with a large view. This study aims to address four problems associated with large view in camera tracking system: multiple targets in nonlinear motion, relative size of the targeted object, occlusion and processing time. This paper presents a new method of tracking human movements using a GbLN-PSO and model-based particle filter to address the above problems. The proposed method has been tested with an experimental module using several sets of video data provided by the Eleventh IEEE International Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance (PETS) and two other video streams of UBC hockey and Malaysian football games. The experiment has shown that the accuracy of tracking performance has increased up to 25% compared to others reported work in the scientific literature.
