AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies suffer from threshold mismatch and incorrect association when associating based on distance information between the subject and local parts, especially when the imaging method and category of the subject change, making it impossible to perform the association correctly.
By tracking a specific subject in consecutive images, candidate local regions accompanying the subject are detected, and similarity is calculated based on the relative positional relationship between past and current frames. The association score is then used to associate the subject with the local region.
It improves the accuracy of association between the subject and local parts, reduces the occurrence of erroneous associations, and performs associations more accurately, especially when there are multiple local part candidates.
