1. A method for resolving an occlusion in a video image, comprising: detecting a plurality of foreground regions in a series of video images; associating a foreground region with one or more tracked objects; determining whether any object of the plurality of objects may occlude or be occluded by another object of the plurality of objects by comparing current attributes and object models of each of the objects with the video image and plurality of foreground regions; assigning pixels overlapped by either object model to one or other of the object and the another object; and performing an analysis of an unresolved region to associate the unresolved region with one of the objects or to assign the region with designation ambiguous region.
