Abstract:
The present invention relates to determining a trajectory of a target from two streams of images obtained from two sources of images, a sub-image of each of the images of the two streams of images representing an overlapping area of a real scene. After having obtained a target path for each of a plurality of targets, from images of the sources of images, for each of the two streams of images, each target path being obtained from a target tracker associated with a source of image, each of the obtained target paths is split into a plurality of target path portions as a function of each potential target switch along the obtained target path. Then, the trajectory is generated as a function of a plurality of the target path portions.
