Apparatus, system, and method for object detection and identification

A system to identify a target object, the system comprising:

• one or more sensors;
• an object detection module that detects a plurality of objects by matching data from the one or more sensors to known data of a target object, the object detection module determining one or more correlation metrics for each object;
• an object tracking module that tracks geographic locations for at least a subset of the plurality of objects over time using subsequent data from the one or more sensors;
• a contextual data module that determines one or more contextual indicators for at least a subset of the plurality of objects based on the data from the one or more sensors;
• and
• an artificial intelligence module that estimates probabilities that each of at least a subset of the plurality of objects comprises the target object based on the correlation metrics, the geographic locations, the contextual indicators, and one or more target contextual indicators associated with the target object, the artificial intelligence module estimating the using by inputting at least the correlation metrics, the geographic locations, and the contextual indicators into an artificial intelligence model.

A method for identifying a target object, the method comprising:

• detecting a plurality of objects by matching data from one or more sensors to known data of a target object and determining one or more correlation metrics for each object;
• tracking geographic locations for at least a subset of the plurality of objects over time using subsequent data from the one or more sensors;
• determining one or more contextual indicators for at least a subset of the plurality of objects based on the data from the one or more sensors;
• and
• estimating, using an artificial intelligence model, probabilities that each of at least a subset of the plurality of objects comprises the target object based on the correlation metrics, the geographic locations, the contextual indicators, and one or more target contextual indicators associated with the target object by inputting at least the correlation metrics, the geographic locations, and the contextual indicators into the artificial intelligence model.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer usable program code executable to perform operations for identifying a target object, the operations of the computer program product comprising:

• detecting a plurality of objects by matching data from one or more sensors to known data of a target object and determining one or more correlation metrics for each object;
• tracking geographic locations for at least a subset of the plurality of objects over time using subsequent data from the one or more sensors;
• determining one or more contextual indicators for at least a subset of the plurality of objects based on the data from the one or more sensors;
• and
• estimating, using an artificial intelligence model, probabilities that each of at least a subset of the plurality of objects comprises the target object based on the correlation metrics, the geographic locations, the contextual indicators, and one or more target contextual indicators associated with the target object by inputting at least the correlation metrics, the geographic locations, and the contextual indicators into the artificial intelligence model.
