Subject tracking systems for a movable imaging system

Abstract:

A method for tracking a subject in successive image frames includes obtaining previous image frames with an imaging device, processing the previous image frames, obtaining motion information of the imaging device and a subject, determining a region of interest, obtaining a subsequent image frame, and processing the region of interest. The processing includes determining previous frame positions of the subject therein. The motion information is obtained with sensors physically associated with one or more of the imaging device and the subject. The region of interest is located in a predetermined spatial relationship relative to a predicted frame position of the subject.
