METHOD FOR ASSOCIATION OF ITEMS OF INTEREST VISIBLE IN A VIDEO

The present invention relates to a method for association of items of interest visible in a video consisting of a sequence of K images, characterized in that it comprises the implementation by data processing means of a terminal of steps of: association of each item of interest from a first category visible in a kth image of said video with an item of interest from a second category, different from the first category, visible in said kth image; calculation of an association cost for a plurality of pairs of an item of interest from the first category visible in at least one image of the video with an item of interest from the second category visible in at least one image of the video, depending on at least the counters of association of pairs of one item of interest from the first category with one item of interest from the second category; use of a combinatorial optimization algorithm depending on the calculated association costs so as to reassociate each item of interest from the first category visible in said kth image with an item of interest from the second category visible in said kth; updating of the association counters.
