Abstract

The invention relates to a method for detecting a moving object in a stream of images taken at successive instants, of the type comprising, for each zone of a predefined set of zones of at least one pixel of the image constituting a current image, a step of determining whether the zone belongs to the moving object. The method also comprising a step of searching in at least one preceding image of the stream and along at least one predefined direction and orientation, for another zone determined as belonging to a moving object, and a step of negating the fact that said zone belongs to a moving object if the search is negative.
