Abstract: A method for acquiring a remote object is provided. The method comprises obtaining a sequence of position samples of the remote object, identifying one or more sets of spatially clustered position samples from among the obtained position samples, and applying curve-fitting to at least one set of spatially clustered position samples to obtain a trajectory of the set of spatially clustered position samples. Also provided is a method for tracking a remote object. The method comprising obtaining an estimated trajectory of the object, obtaining one or more position samples of the object, comparing the obtained position samples with positions computed based on the estimated trajectory, and determining that the object is being tracked based on whether the obtained position samples are consistent with the computed positions.
