move-stop-move Blob Tracking

Hi OpenCV-ers, I need to build a blob tracker that works with move-stop-move events. Say a human walking into camera FOV, stops and stands still for a while, and moves again..rinse/repeat. What algorithms exist to collapse these multiple "tracks" into a single track?

AFAIK, current OpenCV tracking algorithms track continuously moving objects, and any intermittent stop, generates a new track. Any thoughts on how I should approach this?

Thanks for your time.

p.s I know it might be easy to compare blobs and combine tracks, but I need to maintain a bead on the human even when s/he is standing still.
