1. A method of tracking at least one object, the method comprising:

  • receiving four or more first images showing a first object;

    determining, based on one of the four or more first images, a first static characteristic of the first object;

    determining, based on another of the four or more first images, a second static characteristic of the first object;

    determining, based on two of the four or more first images, a first dynamic characteristic of the first object;

    determining, based on another two of the four or more first images, a second dynamic characteristic of the first object;

    comparing the second static characteristic to the first static characteristic;

    determining, in response to the comparison of the second static characteristic and the first static characteristic, that the second static characteristic is approximately equal to the first static characteristic;

    comparing the second dynamic characteristic to the first dynamic characteristic;

    determining, in response to the comparison of the second dynamic characteristic and the first dynamic characteristic, that the second dynamic characteristic is approximately equal to the first dynamic characteristic; and

    determining, in response to the approximate equivalence between the second static characteristic and the first static characteristic and the approximate equivalence between the second dynamic characteristic and the first dynamic characteristic, that the first object is moving, wherein;

    the first static characteristic and the second static characteristic are characteristics of the first object that are constant over time,the first dynamic characteristic is one or more of a first speed of travel and a first direction of travel of the first object,the second dynamic characteristic is one or more of a second speed of travel and a second direction of travel of the first object, andthe steps of receiving, determining and comparing are performed by one or more processors.
