1. A method for processing images, the method comprising:
- receiving a sequence of images for a scene from an imaging system;
detecting an object in the scene using the sequence of images, forming a detection; and
registering a viewpoint of the imaging system to a model of the scene using the detection of the object in the scene and a region in the model of the scene in which an expected behavior of the object is expected to occur, forming a registration, wherein the registering the viewpoint of the imaging system to the model of the scene comprises determining whether the detection of the object in the scene is at a location in the region in the model of the scene in which the expected behavior of the object is expected to occur.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing images. A sequence of images for a scene is received from an imaging system. An object in the scene is detected using the sequence of images. A viewpoint of the imaging system is registered to a model of the scene using a region in the model of the scene in which an expected behavior of the object is expected to occur.

15. An apparatus comprising:
a computer system configured to receive a sequence of images for a scene from an imaging system;
detect an object in the scene using the sequence of images, forming a detection; and
register a viewpoint of the imaging system to a model of the scene using the detection of the object in the scene and a region in the model of the scene in which an expected behavior of the object is expected to occur, wherein in being configured to register the viewpoint of the imaging system to the model of the scene, the computer system is configured to determine whether the detection of the object in the scene is at a location in the region in the model of the scene in which the expected behavior of the object is expected to occur.- View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
