Abstract

Method for visual tracking of at least one object represented by a cluster of points with which information is associated, characterized in that it includes steps to: receive (E1) data representing a set of space-time events, determine (E2) the probability that an event in the set belongs to the cluster of points representing the at least one object, for each event in the received set, determine (E3) whether or not an event belongs to the cluster of points as a function of the determined probability for the event considered, for each event in the received set, update (E4) information associated with the cluster of points for at least one object, for each event for which it was determined in the previous step that it belongs to the cluster of points, calculate (E4, E5) the position, size and orientation of the at least one object as a function of the updated information.
