Abstract
A camera system comprises an image capturing device, object detection module, object tracking module, and match classifier. The object detection module receives image data and detects objects appearing in one or more of the images. The object tracking module temporally associates instances of detected objects, each of which has a signature representing features of the detected object. The match classifier matches object instances by analyzing data derived from the signatures. The match classifier determines whether the signatures match.

A system comprising:
- an object detection module operable to receive image data comprising one or more images captured by an image capturing device and detect an object that appears in the one or more images;
- an object classification module operable to determine a classification label for the object based on the one or more images;
- and
- a video analytics module operable to receive metadata comprising the classification label and appearance characteristics derived from the one or more images, generate a value based on the metadata, compare the value to a threshold, determine based on the comparison that the object matches a reference object, and send a notification indicating a match between the object and the reference object, wherein the object and the reference object are instances of a same physical object.
