Abstract

A method of data processing is provided for estimating a position of an object in an image from a position of a reference object in a reference image. The method includes learning the position of the reference object in the reference image and its relation to a set of reference landmarks in the reference image, accessing the image, accessing the relation between the position of the reference object and the set of the reference landmarks, identifying a set of landmarks in the image corresponding to the set of the reference landmarks, and applying the relation to the set of landmarks in the image for estimating the position of the object in the image.
