A computing device for tracking an object in an image stream, said computing device comprising a memory and a controller, wherein said controller is configured to: receive an image stream comprising at least a first and a previous image of an object to be tracked, determine contour lines in at least said first image, wherein said contour lines comprises a plurality of points, determine and assign at least one descriptor to each point, filter out points based on the descriptors, determine relative distances between each point in said first picture with each point in said previous picture, which points have not been filtered out; and determine a maximum occurrence for the relative distances, wherein the maximum occurrence corresponds to a movement of said object to be tracked in the plane. A movement in a direction parallel to the line of sight is determined from an average position, a relative distance and slopes of linear fittings for each point-component of the points in the two images. |
