Abstract
A method for video object tracking using stereoscopic images with depth maps. The method comprises calculating a first axis histogram for each depth map and applying: a first object detection method to track objects based on at least one of: the contents of the images and the depth maps; and a second object detection method to track objects based on the contents of the histograms of the depth maps. The locations of tracked objects are determined based on comparison of the results of the first object detection method and the second object detection method.
