Which method of segmentation fits better to this overlap problem?

I am currently working on the monitoring of cows with the help of a thermal video, for this I first do a segmentation based on distance transformation (it is the best I have found).



Later for the follow-up I am using a combination of local descriptors and kalman filters.



Additionally the video is very low resolution 160x120 from a flir camera.



But with all these tools it is difficult for me to solve overlap situations. That is why I ask if anyone knows any better segmentation than the one I am currently using, or some method to better follow my objects of interest.
