  • Method for tracking moving object by means of specific characteristics
    Patent number: 6496592
    Abstract: A method for the detection and tracking of moving objects, which can be implemented in hardware computers, is described. The core of the described method is constituted by a gradient integrator (42), whose contents can be permanently refreshed with a sequence of image sections containing the target object. Different method steps for processing the image sections (26 ) reduce the number of required calculation operations and therefore assure sufficient speed of the method.
