Abstract
Various aspects of a video-processing system and method for object detection in a sequence of image frames are disclosed herein. The system includes an image-processing device configured to receive a first object template for an object in a first image frame that includes one or more objects. A plurality of object candidates that corresponds to the object for a second image frame are determined by use of the shape of the received first object template. One of the determined plurality of object candidates is selected as a second object template, based on one or more parameters. The received first object template is updated to the selected second object template to enable segmentation of the object in the second image frame and/or subsequent image frames.
