VISUAL TRACKING OF AN OBJECT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for visually tracking at least one object represented by a cloud of points to which information is associated, characterised in that said method comprises the following steps: receiving (E1) data representing a set of space-time events; determining (E2) the likelihood that an event from the set belongs to the cloud of points representing the at least one object, for each event of the received set; determining (E3) whether or not an event belongs to the cloud of points depending on the likelihood determined for the event in question, for each event of the received set; updating (E4) the information relating to the cloud of points of the at least one object for each event that was determined to belong to the cloud of points in the preceding step; and calculating (E4, E5) the position, the size and the direction of the at least one object on the basis of the updated information.
