The Kalman filter has long been regarded as the optimal solution to many applications in computer vision for example the tracking objects, prediction and correction tasks. Its use in the analysis of visual motion has been documented frequently, we can use in computer vision and open cv in different applications in reality for example robotics, military image and video, medical applications, security in public and privacy society, etc. In this paper, we investigate the implementation of a Matlab code for a Kalman Filter using three algorithm for tracking and detection objects in video sequences (block-matching (Motion Estimation) and Camshift Meanshift (localization, detection and tracking object)). The Kalman filter is presented in three steps: prediction, estimation (correction) and update. The first step is a prediction for the parameters of the tracking and detection objects. The second step is a correction and estimation of the prediction parameters. The important application in Kalman filter is the localization and tracking mono-objects and multi-objects are given in results. This works presents the extension of an integrated modeling and simulation tool for the tracking and detection objects in computer vision described at different models of algorithms in implementation systems.

Co-design embedded system are very important step in digital vehicle and airplane. The multicore and multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC) started a new computing era. It is becoming increasingly used because it can provide designers much more opportunities to meet specific performances. Designing embedded systems includes two main phases: (i) HW/SW Partitioning performed from high-level (eclipse C/C++ or python (machine learning and deep learning)) functional and architecture models (with virtual prototype and real prototype). And (ii) Software Design performed with significantly more detailed models with scheduling and partitioning tasks algorithm DAG Directed Acyclic Graph and GGEN Generation Graph Estimation Nodes (there are automatic DAG algorithm). Partitioning decisions are made according to performance assumptions that should be validated on the more refined software models for ME block and GGEN algorithm. In this paper, we focus to optimize a execution time and amelioration for quality of video with a scheduling and partitioning tasks in video codec. We show how they can be modeled the video sequence test with the size of video in height and width (three models of scheduling tasks in four processor). This modeling with DAG and GGEN are partitioning at different platform in OVP (partitioning, SW design). We can know the optimization of consumption energy and execution time in SoC and MPSoC platform.
