Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a traffic surveillance system. The method comprises the steps of: capturing first images and second images over time by a plurality of the stereoscopic sensors; processing, by the processing unit, a first image and a second image from a first stereoscopic sensor of the plurality of the stereoscopic sensors to produce a first height image; analyzing said first height image to detect a moving object such as a vehicle located within the primary view; and analysing a part of a primary view of at least a first image, a second image or a combination of the first image and the second image captured by a second stereoscopic sensor based on the detected moving object in said first height image to determine a characteristic of the moving object.
