The method of the invention includes: determining a set of points of a space and a value of each of these points at a given moment, the set of points including the points of the object in the position thereof at the given moment; selecting a three-dimensional representation function that can be parameterized with parameters and an operation that gives, using the three-dimensional representation function, a function for estimating the value of each point in the space; and determining parameters, such that, for each point in the set, the estimation of the value of the point substantially gives the value of the point.
