Method and device for following objects, particularly for traffic monitoring
First Claim
1. Method for simultaneously tracking a plurality of objects, wherein a substantially horizontal radially-measuring sensor detects metrical data of moving objects moving freely in a scene within a working region of the sensor, and static objects within the working region of the sensor wherein measurement points of said objects are acquired as raw data, and fed to a computer unit;
- wherein the raw data are processed in the computer unit such that said moving objects are tracked and their geometrical properties are ascertained, and said static objects are used as references.

Abstract
A method for tracking objects, especially for monitoring traffic, wherein a sensor measuring in an essentially horizontal and radial manner detects metrical data on moving objects in the form of raw data and transmits said data to a computer unit. The raw data is processed in the computer in such a way that the objects are tracked and the geometric properties thereof are determined. The static background is autonomously recognized and adapted or updated if changes occur. Objects in a present scene are tracked and current parameters are determined and correlated with the parameters of the objects of previous scenes. The method is particularly suitable for the detection and recognition of non-static traffic infractions which can only be recognized by analyzing the tracking of an object. The invention can be used in conjunction with several sensors in existing traffic control systems. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the above-mentioned method.
