TARGET TRACKING DEVICE USING HANDOVER BETWEEN CAMERAS AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A target tracking device has an input unit configured to receive information on a target to be searched for, and a predicted path calculating unit configured to use the received information and a plurality of prediction models to calculate a movement candidate point of the target for each of the prediction models so as to provide movement candidate points. The predicted path calculating unit also determines a predicted movement point of the target by making a comparison among the calculated movement candidate points. A determining unit able to determine whether an image of the target is included in imagery of a camera, at one of the movement candidate points, is controlled to first check imagery of a camera at only the predicted movement point of the target.

1. A target tracking device, comprising:
an input unit configured to receive information on a target to be searched for; a predicted path calculating unit configured to use the received information and a plurality of prediction models to calculate a movement candidate point of the target for each of the plurality of prediction models so as to provide movement candidate points, the predicted path calculating unit being further configured to determine a predicted movement point of the target by making a comparison among the calculated movement candidate points; a determining unit configured to determine whether an image of the target is included in imagery of a camera at one of the movement candidate points; a computer system implementing one or more of the input unit, the predicted path calculating unit, and the determining unit, the computer system comprising a processor, a memory under control of the processor, and a storage storing a control program that controls the computer system; wherein imagery of a camera at only the predicted movement point of the target is first checked to determine whether an image of the target is included in the imagery.
