ABSTRACT:
The method utilizing a graph-like structure is comprises the following iteration:calculation of the potential of node nm, merging of two nodes niand nj, as a function of the distances between the attributes of the key images and as a function of the temporal distance of these key images,calculation of the potential of each edge connecting the merged node to another node of the graph previously connected to nodes nior nj,merging of the two nodes and validation of the new graph if the energy of this graph is less than the energy of the graph before merging.
