A method for privacy-aware movement tracking performed by a privacy-aware tracking module, the method comprising: receiving a first series of images containing movement of a first unidentified person; generating a first movement dataset for the first unidentified person based on tracking movement of the first unidentified person within the first series of images; for at least one given image of the first series of images, detecting a first body region that corresponds to the first unidentified person, and anonymizing the first body region by applying at least one removal of at least one uniquely identifying biometric feature or any uniquely identifying biometric feature from within the first body region, thereby generating a first anonymized body region; determining a first characterizing feature set for the first unidentified person based on processing of the first anonymized body region; associating the first characterizing feature set based on the first anonymized body region with the first movement dataset, thereby forming a first track entry; receiving a second series of images containing movement of a second unidentified person; generating a second movement dataset for the second unidentified person based on tracking movement of the second unidentified person within the second series of images; for at least one given image of the second series of images, detecting a second body region that corresponds to the second unidentified person, and anonymizing the second body region by applying at least one removal of at least one uniquely identifying biometric feature or any uniquely identifying biometric feature from within the second body region, thereby generating a second anonymized body region; determining a second characterizing feature set for the second unidentified person based on processing of the second anonymized body region; associating the second characterizing feature set based on the second anonymized body region with the second movement dataset, thereby forming a second track entry; and determining a match between the first track entry and the second track entry. receiving a first series of images containing movement of a first unidentified person; generating a first movement dataset for the first unidentified person based on tracking movement of the first unidentified person within the first series of images; for at least one given image of the first series of images, detecting a first body region that corresponds to the first unidentified person, and anonymizing the first body region by applying at least one removal of at least one uniquely identifying biometric feature or any uniquely identifying biometric feature from within the first body region, thereby generating a first anonymized body region; determining a first characterizing feature set for the first unidentified person based on processing of the first anonymized body region; associating the first characterizing feature set based on the first anonymized body region with the first movement dataset, thereby forming a first track entry; receiving a second series of images containing movement of a second unidentified person; generating a second movement dataset for the second unidentified person based on tracking movement of the second unidentified person within the second series of images; for at least one given image of the second series of images, detecting a second body region that corresponds to the second unidentified person, and anonymizing the second body region by applying at least one removal of at least one uniquely identifying biometric feature or any uniquely identifying biometric feature from within the second body region, thereby generating a second anonymized body region; determining a second characterizing feature set for the second unidentified person based on processing of the second anonymized body region; associating the second characterizing feature set based on the second anonymized body region with the second movement dataset, thereby forming a second track entry; and determining a match between the first track entry and the second track entry.
