ASSOCIATIVE OBJECT TRACKING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods track a first object when continuous tracking information for the first object is not available. The systems and methods detect when the tracking information for the first object is not available. A last time of a last determined location of the first object is determined and a second object closest to the last determined location at the last time is determined. The location of the first object is associated with a location of the second object if tracking information for the first object is not available.

主权项

1. An associative tracking apparatus for tracking a first object using tracking information for the first object and tracking information for a second object, comprising:
a tracking reliability monitor for determining when the tracking information for the first object is not reliable; a proximity detector for identifying the second object as closest to the first object when the tracking reliability monitor determines that the tracking information for the first object is not reliable; and an associative tracker for associating a location of the first object with a location of the second object when the tracking reliability monitor determines that the tracking information for the first object is not reliable.
