Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that provide contextual tracking information to tracking sensor systems to provide accurate and efficient object tracking. Contextual data of a first tracking sensor system is used to identify a tracked object of a second tracking sensor system.
Claims25
A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive a tracked target context for a first tracked object from a first tracking sensor system tracking a first coverage area;
- provide the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system to a second tracking sensor system tracking a second coverage area different than the first coverage area, wherein the second tracking sensor system is different than the first tracking sensor system;
- and
- cause identification of a newly observed tracked target by the second tracking sensor system based upon the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system, by:
- filtering-out a candidate from a set of candidates that the newly observed tracked target can be identified as based upon the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system, by determining that the candidate is observed at a previous location outside a range of identified locations predicted to be reachable by the candidate during a time difference between a time the candidate was observed at the previous location and a time the newly observed tracked target was observed by the second tracking sensor system;
- and
- providing the set of candidates without the candidate to the second tracking sensor system.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving tracking sensor system inputs comprising a tracked target context for a first tracked object from a first tracking sensor system tracking a first coverage area;
- providing the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system to a second tracking sensor system tracking a second coverage area different than the first coverage area, wherein the second tracking sensor system is different than the first tracking sensor system;
- and
- causing identification of a newly observed tracked target by the second tracking sensor system based upon the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system, by:
- filtering-out a candidate from a set of candidates that the newly observed tracked target can be identified as based upon the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system, by determining that the candidate is observed at a previous location outside a range of identified locations predicted to be reachable by the candidate during a time difference between a time the candidate was observed at the previous location and a time the newly observed tracked target was observed by the second tracking sensor system;
- and
- providing the set of candidates without the candidate to the second tracking sensor system.

A system, comprising:
- a first tracking sensor system, configured to track a first tracked object in a first coverage area;
- a second tracking sensor system, configured to track a second tracked object in a second coverage area different than the first coverage area;
- and
- a contextual tracking system, configured to:
- receive a tracked target context for the first tracked object from the first tracking sensor system;
- provide the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system to the second tracking sensor system different than the first tracking sensor system;
- and
- cause identification of the second tracked object based upon the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system, wherein the second tracking sensor system is different than the first tracking sensor system, by:
- filtering-out a candidate from a set of candidates that the second tracked object can be identified as based upon the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system, by determining that the candidate is observed at a previous location outside a range of identified locations predicted to be reachable by the candidate during a time difference between a time the candidate was observed at the previous location and a time the second tracked object was observed by the second tracking sensor system;
- and
- providing the set of candidates without the candidate to the second tracking sensor system.
