Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 7:
8. A computer program product comprising a memory storing programming instructions thereon, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
obtain images captured by a plurality of cameras with overlapping fields of view;
generate spatial feature maps indicating locations of features in the images;
define for each image, a predicted cuboid at each location of an object in the image based on the spatial feature map of the image;
identify, for each image a plurality of visual features of each object in the image using the spatial feature maps;
determine a value indicating a likelihood an object in a first image and an object in a second image are a same object based on the plurality of visual features;
associate the predicted cuboids for the object in the first image and for the object in the second image with each other as being the same object in response to the value being greater than a selected threshold; and
track the plurality of objects using the predicted cuboids associated with the object.
