System and method to improve object tracking using tracking fingerprints

A tracking system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving image data representing a region in an image of a sequence of images;
• generating a first tracking fingerprint based on the image data;
• comparing the first tracking fingerprint and a second tracking fingerprint to determine a difference between the first tracking fingerprint and the second tracking fingerprint;
• and
• providing an output to a second tracking system based on a result of the comparison of the first tracking fingerprint and the second tracking fingerprint, wherein the output comprises an instruction associated with an object model stored at the second tracking system, the instruction selected based on the difference, and wherein the first tracking fingerprint is generated independent of the object model.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving image data at a first tracking system, wherein the image data represents a region in an image of a sequence of images;
• generating a first tracking fingerprint based on the image data;
• comparing the first tracking fingerprint and a second tracking fingerprint to determine a difference between the first tracking fingerprint and the second tracking fingerprint;
• and
• providing an output from the first tracking system to a second tracking system based on a result of the comparison of the first tracking fingerprint and the second tracking fingerprint, wherein the output comprises an instruction associated with an object model stored at the second tracking system, the instruction selected based on the difference, and wherein the first tracking fingerprint is generated independent of the object model.
