US 11,688,171 B2 · Person tracking and identification using intelligent camera orchestration

Abstract

In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a communication interface and a processor. The communication interface is to communicate with a plurality of cameras. The processor is to obtain metadata associated with an initial state of an object, wherein the object is captured by a first camera in a first video stream at a first point in time, and wherein the metadata is obtained based on the first video stream. The processor is further to predict, based on the metadata, a future state of the object at a second point in time, and identify a second camera for capturing the object at the second point in time. The processor is further to configure the second camera to capture the object in a second video stream at the second point in time, wherein the second camera is configured to capture the object based on the future state of the object.

Dependent claims

A device, comprising:

interface circuitry to communicate with a plurality of cameras deployed in an environment;
and
processing circuitry to:
receive metadata associated with a person detected in view of a first camera of the plurality of cameras, wherein the metadata indicates a current behavior of the person;
predict, based on the metadata, a future behavior of the person;
select, based on the predicted future behavior of the person, a second camera to capture a facial snapshot of the person at a future time, wherein the second camera is selected from the plurality of cameras;
and
configure, via the interface circuitry, the second camera to capture the facial snapshot of the person at the future time.

5 more elements

At least one non-transitory machine accessible storage medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed on processing circuitry of one or more devices, cause the processing circuitry to:

detect a person in view of a first camera, wherein the first camera is one of a plurality of cameras deployed in an environment;
determine a current behavior of the person captured by the first camera;
predict a future behavior of the person based on the current behavior of the person;
select, based on the predicted future behavior of the person, a second camera to capture a facial snapshot of the person at a future time, wherein the second camera is selected from the plurality of cameras;
and
configure the second camera to capture the facial snapshot of the person at the future time.
