Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004055548A1] The invention relates to a method for detecting and tracking objects based on deep resolution images containing pixels of at least one object, captured over a period of time by at least one sensor for detecting electromagnetic radiation, in particular a laser scanner, in a detection zone of the sensor. According to said method the following steps are carried out in successive cycles: at least one current object outline is formed from the pixels of a current image; at least one object outline is predicted in the current cycle for objects in a preceding cycle, starting from the respective object outline that was assigned to the corresponding object in the previous cycle; and a current position is determined for at least one of the objects, from the current object outline and/or the speed of an object is determined from the current object outline and the object outline in a preceding cycle.
