Abstract
A method, apparatus, system for tracking an object, the method. A region of interest in an image pair is determined based on a bounding box determined for the object in the image pair. A mask based on the region of interest is applied to the image pair. The mask masks out portions of the image pair outside of the region of interest to form masked images. Intensity averaging is performed on the masked images to detect a set of pixels having a greatest intensity in the masked images. The set of pixels in the masked images is a set of common pixels in the masked images in which the set of common pixels is assumed to have a same location in both of the masked images. A three-dimensional position of the object is determined using the set of common pixels.
