Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for estimating a position of moving objects in a set of image data. In accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a position of an object is identified in a first frame of image data acquired at a first time. The object is determined to be undetected in a second frame of image data acquired at a second time. Movement of the object is estimated to determine its estimated position in the second frame of image data using at least one of velocity and acceleration of the object and time between frames of image data. The estimated position is used to determine a position of the object in a third frame of image data acquired at a third time.
