Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 17:
18. An apparatus comprising:
means for receiving, from a first sensor, a first profile representing a first set of movement attributes detected by the first sensor in an area at a given point in time;
means for receiving, from a second sensor, a second profile representing a second set of movement attributes detected by the second sensor in the area at the given point in time, the first sensor having a first field of view that overlaps a second field of view of the second sensor such that the second sensor detects the second set of movement attributes at a same point in time as the first set of movement attributes are detected by the first sensor;
means for computing a similarity measure between the first and second sets of movement attributes of the first and second profiles;
means for determining that the similarity measure exceeds a threshold value;
means for, in response to determining that the similarity measure exceeds the threshold value, associating the first and second profiles with a same first object that is in the area at the given point in time; and
means for aggregating the first profile with the second profile to generate a global profile that represents movement of the first object in the area, the global profile comprising a subset of features from the first profile and the second profile.
