Evaluation Device for Re-Identification and Corresponding Method, System and Computer Program

Abstract

Examples relate to an evaluation device for re-identification and to a corresponding method, system and computer program. The evaluation device comprises processing circuitry being configured to obtain a plurality of transformed re-identification codes, each transformed re-identification code being associated with a timestamp and location information. Each transformed re-identification code is based on a similarity-preserving transformation of a re-identification code that represents at least a portion of a sample of media data, the media data originating from two or more different sources located in two or more different locations. The processing circuitry is configured to match transformed re-identification codes among the plurality of transformed re-identification codes using a similarity metric to generate one or more tuples of transformed re-identification codes that are similar according to the similarity metric. The processing circuitry is configured to determine one or more sequences of locations associated with the transformed re-identification codes of the one or more tuples of transformed re-identification codes based on the timestamps and location information associated with the transformed re-identification codes of the respective tuple. The processing circuitry is configured to provide information on the one or more sequences of locations.
