Normally a video tracking system combines three stages of data treating; object extraction, objectrecognition & tracking, and decisions about activities. This paper presents a critical review of various video object tracking techniques like point tracking, kernel tracking and Silhouette tracking algorithms. Comparison of all the techniques concludes the better approach for its future research. %K Moving Object Tracking %K Object extraction %K Object recognition %K Occlusion %K Daubechies Complex Wavelet Transform (CxWT) %K Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (CxWT). %U http://www.ijcse.com/docs/INDJCSE13-04-02-046.pdf
