A method and system are disclosed for estimating a position of moving
objects in a set of image data. In accordance with exemplary embodiments
of the present invention, a position of an object is identified in a
first frame of image data acquired at a first time. The object is
determined to be undetected in a second frame of image data acquired at a
second time. Movement of the object is estimated to determine its
estimated position in the second frame of image data using at least one
of velocity and acceleration of the object and time between frames of
image data. The estimated position is used to determine a position of the
object in a third frame of image data acquired at a third time.
