Systems and methods for user detection, identification, and localization within a defined space

A method for automatically tracking a user within a space and determining an identity of the user based on image data, the method comprising:

• automatically detecting, by a motion sensor, motion in a space;
• in response to detecting the motion in the space, capturing one or more images of a scene in a direction of the motion within the space by one or more of a plurality of peripheral image capturing devices and detecting a body of a person within at least one of the one or more images of the scene;
• extracting at least one image of the body from the one or more images of the scene;
• identifying a head of the body based on the extracted at least one image of the body and extracting an image of a head from the extracted at least one image of the body;
• transmitting the extracted at least one image of the body to a body tracking module;
• transmitting the extracted image of the head to a face detection module;
• in parallel, (i) tracking the body within the space based on the extracted at least one image of the body and (ii) performing by a facial recognition module facial recognition of the extracted image of the head of the body based on the extracted image of the head;
• determining an identity of a user associated with the body based on results of the facial recognition module;
• in response to determining the identity of the user, augmenting image frames of the captured one or more images that include the body within the scene with identity data based on the determined identity of the user;
• identifying an image resolution of the extracted image of the head of the body;
• determining that the image resolution of the extracted image of the head of the body does not satisfy a minimal facial recognition threshold;
• in response to determining that the image resolution does not satisfy the minimal facial recognition threshold, providing an activation signal to a high-resolution image capturing device distinct from the plurality of peripheral image capturing devices;
• and
• capturing by the high-resolution image capturing device one or more high-resolution images of a scene within the space.

A method comprising:

• automatically detecting, by a presence sensor, a presence of a human body in a space;
• in response to detecting the presence of the human body in the space, capturing one or more images of a scene in a direction of the presence within the space by one or more of a plurality of peripheral image capturing devices and detecting a body of a person within at least one of the one or more images of the scene;
• extracting at least one image of the body from the one or more images of the scene;
• identifying a head of the body based on the extracted at least one image of the body and extracting an image of a head from the extracted at least one image of the body;
• transmitting a first image file comprising the extracted at least one image of the body to a body tracking module;
• transmitting a second image file comprising the extracted image of the head to a face detection module;
• in parallel, (i) tracking the body within the space based on the extracted at least one image of the body and (ii) performing by a biometric recognition module biometric recognition of the extracted image of the head of the body based on the extracted image of the head;
• determining an identity of a user associated with the body based on results of the biometric recognition module;
• in response, augmenting image frames of the captured one or more images that include the body within the scene with identity data based on the determined identity of the user;
• identifying an image resolution of the extracted image of the head of the body;
• determining that the image resolution of the extracted image of the head of the body does not satisfy a minimal facial recognition threshold;
• in response to determining that the image resolution does not satisfy the minimal facial recognition threshold, providing an activation signal to a high-resolution image capturing device distinct from the plurality of peripheral image capturing devices;
• and
• capturing by the high-resolution image capturing device one or more high-resolution images of a scene within the space.
