laser coagulation, it is necessary to focus on the exact position of the target object, however
it moves by the mother's respiratory motion and still remains a challenge to obtain and track
the position precisely. In this article, an algorithm which uses features from accelerated
segment test (FAST) to extract the features and optical flow as the object tracking method, ...
