Abstract
Disclosed herein are a computer-implemented method and a camera system for determining a current spatial representation for a detection in a current frame of an image sequence. The method derives an expected spatial representation () for the detection based on at least one previous frame, generates a spatial representation () of the detection, and extends the spatial representation () to obtain an extended spatial representation (), based on the expected spatial representation (). The method determines a similarity measure between the extended spatial representation () and the expected spatial representation (), and then determines the current spatial representation for the detection based on the similarity measure.
