  • OBJECT TRACKING ON THE BASIS OF A MOVEMENT MODEL
    Publication number: 20240412381
    Abstract: According to an object tracking method, a first state of an object is estimated by at least one computing unit based on a predefined movement model for the object to be tracked, where the first state includes a first direction of movement of a point to be tracked. An environmental sensor system generates environmental sensor data representing the object to be tracked and a geometric orientation of the object to be tracked is determined on the basis thereof by the computing unit. The point to be tracked is shifted by the computing unit depending on a first deviation of the geometric orientation from the first direction of movement, and a second state of the object to be tracked is determined by the computing unit depending on the first state and the shifted point.
