19. C OMPARING M ETHODS Direct Tracking is the best method for on-line controlling but it has low speed process because of loops in its algorithm. Flow Field Analisys evaluate the STD lower than the other methods and can be used in on-line controlling. Furrior Transform is the best choice to non-on-line controlling. The results of Hough and Furrior Transform is so close. 19 Direct Tracking Furrior Transform Flow Field Analisys Accuracy ranking
