1. A method comprising:
at a device including an image sensor, a non-transitory memory, and one or more processors coupled with the image sensor and the non-transitory memory:
obtaining depth data associated with one or more objects in a field of view of the image sensor;
determining a first optical flow characterizing one or more objects based on the depth data and movement of the device;
obtaining image data of the one or more object in the field of view of the image sensor;
determining a second optical flow characterizing the one or more objects based on the image data; and
determining that a first object of the one or more objects is moving based on the first optical flow and the second optical flow.
