Artificial intelligence smoothed object detection and tracking in video

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are to cause the one or more processors to:

• identify an object in a first video frame of a video by applying a first AI-assisted object detection algorithm that outputs a mask defining location of the object in the first video frame;
• track the mask and define its location in at least one temporally subsequent frame of the video using a second AI-assisted object detection algorithm;
• and
• determine that a further frame of the video is a keyframe and, on that basis, re-apply the first AI-assisted objected detection algorithm to identify the object in the further frame and to output a next mask defining the location of the object in the further frame before repeating the tracking and defining using the second AI-assisted object detection algorithm for one or more frames subsequent to the keyframe.

A computing system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory coupled to at least one of the one or more processors, the memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are to cause the one or more processors to:
• identify an object in a first video frame of a video by applying a first AI-assisted object detection algorithm that outputs a mask defining location of the object in the first video frame;
• track the mask and define its location in at least one temporally subsequent frame of the video using a second AI-assisted object detection algorithm;
• and
• determine that a further frame of the video is a keyframe and, on that basis, re-apply the first AI-assisted objected detection algorithm to identify the object in the further frame and to output a next mask defining the location of the object in the further frame before repeating the tracking and defining using the second AI-assisted object detection algorithm for one or more frames subsequent to the keyframe.
