US 2021/0174091 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRACKING A PARTICIPANT USING MULTIPLE CAMERAS

Abstract

Systems and methods of controlling the same include a video interface to receive at least one video stream from a plurality of cameras, a signal interface to receive a time-of-day value and an identifier of a participant; a processor, and a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to receive, from the signal interface, the time-of-day value and the identifier of the participant; locate the participant in a first video stream from a first camera, control the first camera based on the location of the participant in the first video stream; based at least in part on the time-of-day value and the identifier of the participant, locate the participant in a second video stream from a second camera, control the second camera based on the location of the participant in the second video stream, and generate a compiled video stream of the participant from the first and second video streams.

Dependent claims

A system for tracking a participant comprising:

a video interface configured to receive at least one video stream from a plurality of cameras;
a signal interface configured to receive a time-of-day value and an identifier of the participant;
at least one processor;
and
a memory storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
receive, from the signal interface, the time-of-day value and the identifier of the participant;
locate the participant in a first video stream from a first camera in the plurality of cameras;
control an action of the first camera based on the location of the participant in the first video stream;
based at least in part on the time-of-day value and the identifier of the participant, locate the participant in a second video stream from a second camera in the plurality of cameras;
control an action of the second camera based on the location of the participant in the second video stream;
and
generate a compiled video stream of the participant from at least the first video stream and the second video stream.

A method of tracking a participant by a system including a video interface, a signal interface, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions executed by the at least one processor, the method comprising:

receiving, from the video interface, at least one video stream from a plurality of cameras;
receiving, from the signal interface, the time-of-day value and the identifier of the participant;
and
the processor, when executing the instructions:
locating the participant in a first video stream from a first camera in the plurality of cameras;
controlling an action of the first camera based on the location of the participant in the first video stream;
based at least in part on the time-of-day value and the identifier of the participant, locating the participant in a second video stream from a second camera in the plurality of cameras;
controlling an action of the second camera based on the location of the participant in the second video stream;
and
generating a compiled video stream of the participant from at least the first video stream and the second video stream.
