Verfahren zum gemeinsamen Detektieren, Verfolgen und Klassifizieren von Objekten

tracking system for tracking objects within a field of view is proposed. The field of view includes a first zone (A1) and an adjacent zone (A0) of interest, wherein at least two gates (G1, G2) are associated with respective sides of the first zone (A1) within the field of view. The first camera (C1) is adapted to detect when an object crosses one of the at least two gates and track the object throughout the first zone (A1) and the zone (A0) of interest; wherein the tracking system is adapted to generate a first event message (ES1) in response to the object being tracked from one of the gates into the zone (A0) of interest and subsequently leaving the first zone through a dedicated gate (G1) of the at least two gates.
