Abstract
The invention relates to a method for detecting and tracking targets in a series of successive images, said method comprising limiting the number of spots which are the subject of simultaneous tracking or false leads. The operation of the tracking module is thereby improved without having to increase a detection threshold of said spots. The detection threshold can even be reduced, such that the detection haul is increased and the tracking of each target is more continuous, without the probability of false alarms itself being increased.
