Claim One:
1. A method of tracking objects using a detection system having a sensor that senses objects within a field of view, comprising the steps of: (A) sensing objects in the field of view of the detector; (B) generating a current frame of datapoints, wherein said datapoints represent an object sensed in step (A); (C) converting said datapoints into datapoints represented in global coordinates; and (D) mapping said converted datapoints into a next frame of datapoints to create a new frame of datapoints, wherein said new frame of datapoints represents objects detected in said next frame as well as objects detected in one or more previous frames, (E) doing blob coloring on said new frame of datapoints to define objects; (F) making a list of said objects in step (E): wherein said step (E) comprises the steps of: i. scanning said new frame to locate a bin having datapoint having a non-zero power value.
