Method and system for real-time tracking of a moving target object

An object tracking system for real-time tracking of a moving target object, the object tracking system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, cause the processor to:
• detect an occlusion in a view of real-time tracking of a moving target object, wherein the occlusion comprises one of a complete occlusion and a partial occlusion in the view of the real-time tracking;
• and
• perform upon the detection and until the moving target object is retraced by overcoming the occlusion, the steps of:
• determining at least one subsequent movement of the object tracking system for retracing the moving target object,
• (i) based on potential locations associated with the moving target object, during the complete occlusion, wherein the potential locations are historic data indicative of nearest locations visited by the moving target object from a current location in the environment;
• and
• (ii) based on one or more preceding movements and one or more preceding positions of the real-time tracking of the moving target object, and movement data associated with the occlusion, during the partial occlusion, wherein the one or more preceding movements and the one or more preceding positions of the moving target object are determined using Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) technique that logs one or more paths and one or more locations associated with the moving target object, before the detection of occlusion;
• and
• varying direction of movement of the object tracking system based on the at least one subsequent movement, for the real-time tracking of the moving target object.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon that when processed by at least one processor cause a device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting an occlusion in a view of real-time tracking of a moving target object, wherein the occlusion comprises one of a complete occlusion and a partial occlusion in the view of the real-time tracking;
• and
• performing upon the detection and until the moving target object is retraced by overcoming the occlusion, the steps of:
• determining at least one subsequent movement of the object tracking system for retracing the moving target object,
• (i) based on potential locations associated with the moving target object, during the complete occlusion, wherein the potential locations are historic data indicative of nearest locations visited by the moving target object from a current location in the environment;
• and
• (ii) based on one or more preceding movements and one or more preceding positions of the real-time tracking of the moving target object, and movement data associated with the occlusion, during the partial occlusion, wherein the one or more preceding movements and the one or more preceding positions of the moving target object are determined using Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) technique that logs one or more paths and one or more locations associated with the moving target object, before the detection of occlusion;
• and
• varying direction of movement of the object tracking system based on the at least one subsequent movement, for the real-time tracking of the moving target object.
