Abstract
A system for tracking objects in a temporal sequence of digital images is configured to: detect potential objects in the images, the detected potential objects being indicated as nodes, identify pairs of neighboring nodes, such that for each pair the nodes of said pair potentially represent an identical object and their spatial and/or temporal relationship with each other is within a predetermined range, connect each pair of neighboring nodes with a first type edge, identify at least one supplementary pair of distant nodes whose spatial and/or temporal relationship with each other exceeds the predetermined range, connect the pair of distant nodes with a supplementary second type edge, each of the first and second type edges being assigned a cost value, and determine a track of an object in the temporal sequence of digital images based on a set of connected first type edges and at least one second type edge.
