Method, apparatus and system for tracking an object in a sequence of images

Abstract METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING AN OBJECT IN A SEQUENCE OF IMAGES A method of tracking an object (e.g., 1110) in a sequence of images of a scene, is disclosed. At least one foreground area in the scene is associated with the object (1110). An event that is affecting the foreground area of the scene is determined. A track representation is added to a track corresponding to the object (1110). The added track representation models the determined event and has a property based on the foreground area. Properties of one or more further track representations of are track updated, based on the foreground area, in order to track the object (1110). 581271OvI (P008997_SpecFinal) -3/ 14 Start 200 Access an image of the 201 image sequence 220 Access scene model } Scene Model Produce one or more foreground blobs 205 206 Blobs Access tracks r 250 Tracks Track the foreground blobs End Fig. 2 P008997_FigsFinal (5812681vI)
