Indicating objects within frames of a video segment

A video processor for providing an indication of objects in frames of a video segment, the video processor comprising at least one processor and memory containing instructions executable by the at least one processor, whereby the video processor is operative, for a plurality of successive pairs of successive frames of the video segment, to:

• analyze a first frame from the video segment and determine candidate objects in the frame;
• create a first set of candidate objects in the first frame that provides, for candidate objects in the first set, a size and location of the candidate object along with a probability that the determination as a candidate object is correct;
• analyze a second frame from the video segment and determine candidate objects in the second frame, wherein the first frame precedes the second frame;
• create a second set of candidate objects in the second frame that provides, for candidate objects in the second set, a size and location of the candidate object and a probability that the determination as a candidate object is correct;
• compare the second set of candidate objects with the first set of candidate objects to find pairs of corresponding candidate objects that are determined to be the same object present in both the first and second frames, with one object being selected from the second set of candidate objects and one object being selected from the first set of candidate objects;
• for at least some pairs of corresponding objects found, determine whether the probability that the determination as a candidate object is correct from the second set of candidate objects is lower than the probability that the determination as a candidate object is correct from the first set of candidate objects and, if the probability that the determination as a candidate object is correct from the second set of candidate objects is lower than the probability that the determination as a candidate object is correct from the first set of candidate objects, amend the second set of candidate objects by increasing the probability that the determination as a candidate object is correct such that the amended second set of candidate objects includes the increased probabilities;
• select objects from the amended second set of candidate objects and generate an output set of the selected objects that provides, for selected objects in the output set, a size and location of the selected object;
• and
• output the output set.
