  • Patent number: 9704264
    Abstract: A method for tracking a target in a sequence of images comprises: a step of detecting objects, a temporal association step, aiming to associate the objects detected in the current image with the objects detected in the previous image based on their respective positions, a step of determining a second target in the current image according to a search area determined for a previous image of the sequence, a step of determining the detected object that best corresponds to a dynamic of a final target, a step of updating the search area for the current image based on the position of the target that best corresponds to the dynamics of the final target, and a step of searching for the final target in the search area for the current image by comparing areas of the current image with a reference model representative of the final target.
