Abstract
The invention relates to a method of tracking a target object in an image stream captured by a camera, at a capture frequency. The method includes a tracking phase, implemented individually for several processed images of said image stream, wherein the tracking phase includes detecting at least one object, and its position, in the processed image, and identifying the target object among the at least one object detected in the processed image. The tracking phase is carried out at a detection frequency, that is lower than the capture frequency, so that two images processed during two successive iterations of the tracking phase are separated by at least one non-processed image to which the tracking phase is not applied. The invention also relates to a computer program, a device, and a system implementing such a method.
