Claim One:
1. A method for detecting objects from a moving platform, the method comprising: receiving, from a camera coupled to the moving platform, a first image frame; defining, within the first image frame, a first target characterizing the location of an object detected in the first image frame; determining a first score associated with the first target; receiving, from the camera, a second image frame subsequent in time to the first image frame; defining, within the second image frame, a second target characterizing the location of the object in the second image frame; determining a second score associated with the second target; defining, within the second image frame, a first predicted target based on a tracking process applied to the first target; determining a third score associated with the first predicted target; and defining a merged target corresponding to the second target when the second score is greater than the third score and a proximity measure between the second target and the first predicted target is above a predetermined threshold.
