System and method for fixed camera and unmanned mobile device collaboration to improve identification certainty of an object

An electronic processing device for fixed camera and unmanned mobile device collaboration to improve identification of an object of interest, the device comprising:

• a fixed-camera interface;
• an unmanned mobile device interface;
• a memory;
• a transceiver;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• receive, via the fixed-camera interface and from a fixed camera, a captured first point of view of a first captured object and determining, with a first level of certainty in a predetermined level of certainty range, that the captured first point of view of the first object matches a first stored object of interest;
• causing a dispatch instruction and intercept information to be wirelessly broadcast, via the transceiver, for receipt by one or more camera-equipped unmanned mobile vehicles within broadcast range, the intercept information including the determined direction of travel of the first captured object, information sufficient to identify either the first captured object or a vehicle with which the first captured object is travelling, and information identifying a desired second point of view of the first captured object different from the first point of view;
• wirelessly receive, via the transceiver and from the one or more camera-equipped unmanned mobile vehicles, a captured second point of view of the first captured object;
• and
• use the captured second point of view of the first captured object to determine, with a second level of certainty, that the first captured object matches the stored object of interest.
