First Claim
1. A method for localization of a shape in a space represented by pixel data forming a multidimensional space i, j, evolving with time, and represented at a succession of instants T, wherein the data is associated with a plurality of parameters {A, B, . . . } in the form of digital signals {DATA(A), DATA(B), . . . } composed of a sequence {Aijt, Bijt, . . . } of binary numbers of n bits associated with synchronization signals defining the instants T of the space and the position i, j in the space, at which the signals {Aijt, Bijt, . . . } are received, the method comprising:
- a) receiving the pixel data;
b) identifying a main region of interest of the space based on a statistic criterion applied to one of said parameters, the identified region having a center of gravity;

Abstract
Systems and methods for localizing a shape in a space represented by pixel data forming a multidimensional space i, j, evolving with time, and represented at a succession of instants T, wherein the data is associated with a temporal parameter A, B, . . . in the form of digital signals DATA(A), DATA(B), . . . composed of a sequence Aijt, Bijt, . . . of binary numbers of n bits associated with synchronization signals defining the instant T of the space and the position i, j in this space, at which the signals Aijt, Bijt, . . . were received. In one embodiment, a) a region of interest of the space is perceived in relation to a statistic criterion applied to a temporal parameter, b) the main region thus perceived is deactivated, c) repeating a) and b) in order to perceive other regions of interest inside a non-deactivated space region, d) the procedure is stopped when a remaining region, non-deactivated, in the space does not provide a region of interest corresponding to the statistic criterion, e) a counter is incremented for each consecutive valid frame for each region of interest thus perceived, and f) for each region of interest thus perceived, the center of gravity is stored.
