Abstract
Method, having detecting from a first histogram signal delivered by a sensor device, successive sets of targets at respective successive instants, determining for a current set of current detected targets, a current histogram output, the current histogram output having for each current detected target of the current set, a current group of parameters stored in a memory including a confidence indicator, performing a matching operation between the current set of detected targets and previous sets of detected targets stored in the memory, and performing a filtering operation of at least one parameter of the current group of parameters of at least some of the current detected targets of the current set, on the basis of the result of the matching operation, the filtering operation being weighted on the basis of at least the confidence indicators of current and previous sets of detected targets.
