1. A computer-implemented method of automatically identifying pixels corresponding to an occlusion in a scene captured with an image capturing device, where the occlusion obstructs a view of an object, the method comprising, in whole or part, being tracked within the scene, the method comprising: a) identifying one or more foreground objects within the scene from at least one sequence of image frames including digital representations of the scene; b) updating an accumulator array at the pixel locations of the identified one or more foreground objects within the plurality of image frames; and c) identifying the location of pixels corresponding to an occlusion from processing the accumulator array where pixels in an area of the accumulator array not associated with the foreground objects and along a trajectory of the identified one or more foreground objects are identified as corresponding to an occlusion.
