US 2023/0401725 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROCESSING IMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH OBJECTS IN A CAMERA VIEW

Abstract

Aspects of the example implementations are directed to methods, systems and apparatuses associated with processing of images associated with objects in a view of one or more cameras co-located in a space. The example implementations may be directed to estimating a physical distance between a first person and a second person (e.g., customers) in a camera view; detecting an interest in a section (e.g., shelf) by the first person or second person; estimating relative distances between views of the one or more cameras, to determine which camera views are overlapping and non-overlapping; and detecting static objects (e.g., false positives) that may appear similar to a customer, such as posters of people, mannequins, or the like, and removing the static objects from the processed images.

Dependent claims

A computer-implementation method for person-tracking across video streams, the method comprising:

retrieving a plurality of video streams generated from a plurality of cameras;
performing a normalization operation over extracted frames of the plurality of video streams to generate normalized frames;
processing the normalized frames by extracting bounding boxes over at least one person identified from the normalized frames to generate feature vectors and detect attributes;
merging extracted bounding boxes associated with each of the at least one person identified from the normalized frames in time series to generate tracklets, wherein each tracklet is associated with a person of the at least one person identified from the normalized frames;
and
aggregating the tracklets and metadata associated with user defined sections of at least one area in the video streams to generate analytical outputs.
