Abstract:
A plurality of pairs of video cameras and interrogation devices may be placed in a public place along various paths that a person-of-interest might be expected to move. The person-of-interest is then located in multiple images acquired, collectively, by multiple video cameras. From each of the interrogation devices that are paired with these video cameras, a subset of the captured identifiers is obtained. Candidate identifiers are then restricted to those identifiers that are included in each of the subsets. A given identifier may be rejected as a candidate identifier. To automatically locate the person-of-interest in the images acquired by the “paired” video cameras, a processor may utilize video-tracking techniques to automatically track the person-of-interest, such that the person-of-interest is not “lost.” By virtue of utilizing such tracking techniques, the person-of-interest may be repeatedly located automatically, and with minimal chance of a false detection.
