In order to keep visual tracking systems with color segmentation technique running in real environment, it should be developed on-line learning method to update models for adapting them to dynamic changes of surroundings. To deal with this problem, we propose an on-line visual learning method for color image segmentation and object tracking in dynamic environment. Our method utilizes Fuzzy ART architecture which is a kind of neural network for competitive learning. The mechanism of this neural network is suitable for on-line learning and different from that of backpropagation type neural network. In order to use Fuzzy ART architecture for color segmentation on-line, we transform the color signal that the framegrabber used yields to a particular color space called Y r θ space. To show validity of our method, we present some results of experiments using sequences of real images.
