IPC: G06T7/292
Filed: 2019-11-04
Abstract: A method includes capturing, using a camera 198 with a defined field of view 169, video image frames that include a moving object-of-interest 904. The method further includes tracking the object over a period of time starting when the object enters the field of view and ending when it leaves the field of view. The method also includes: detecting, at a point in time in between the start and end of the time period of the tracking, a threshold-exceeding change in an appearance of the object (cf 904 in Fig. 9 and in Fig. 10); and creating, before the end of the tracking period, a new object profile for the object in response to the detecting of the threshold-exceeding change. The method is aimed at alias capture to support searching for an object-of-interest. The change in appearance could be assessed by measuring the similarity of projections into feature space of objects in different frames. An independent claim is also included for creating a new object profile on the basis of when the object leaves the field of view.
