METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING FINGERPRINTS TO TRACK MOVING OBJECTS IN VIDEO

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect and/or track a moving object with a desired level of accuracy.SOLUTION: Provided is a method and system for tracking moving objects 155 in a sequence of images 110. A current image 128 in the sequence of images 110 is segmented into a plurality of segments 138. Segments in the plurality of segments 138 belonging to the same motion profile are fused together to form a set of master segments 142. A set of target segments 154 is identified from the set of master segments 142. The set of target segments 154 represent a set of moving objects 155 in the current image 128. A set of fingerprints 156 is created for use in tracking the set of moving objects 155 in an arbitrary number of subsequent images 162 in the sequence of images 110.
