The concept of remote target tracking system is proposed and a kind of remote target tracking system is realized. The design of the system is mainly divided into mobile robot and remote server. Real-time live video in YUV format is collected by mobile robot via USB

YUV format video is encoded into H. 264 format and the video is sent to the remote server through WiFi. H. 264 format video is decoded and processed with target tracking algorithm by the remote server

according to the results the mobile robot is controlled to track the target.Experimental results show that the system can effectively realize the remote target tracking

and the feasibility of the design is verified.
