Object Tracking via Intermediary Identification Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional object tracking systems using CCTV cameras cannot uniquely identify objects, limiting their ability to track objects across multiple surveillance areas effectively.
Innovation Solution
An object tracking method and system that utilizes an object identifying device to extract unique identification information, which is then provided to video tracking devices to track the object's physical information and movements across multiple surveillance zones, enabling efficient tracking and storage of object information.

1Measurement precision
If conventional CCTV tracking systems are used to track objects across multiple surveillance areas, then object movement can be monitored, but unique object identification cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
An object identifying device serves as an intermediary between the CCTV camera and the tracking system. This device extracts unique identification information (such as facial features, body shape, or other distinctive characteristics) from the object and provides this information to the CCTV system, enabling reliable unique identification while maintaining the ability to track object movement across multiple surveillance areas

AI summary
An object tracking method uses a system having an object identifying device and at least one video tracking device, wherein the object identifying device monitors an area to identify an object entering the area and the video tracking device wired/wirelessly connected to the object identifying device monitors the area monitored by the object identifying device. The method includes: extracting, at the object identifying device, object identification information of the object; providing, at the object identifying device, the object identification information to the video tracking device; tracking, at the video tracking device, the object to extract physical information of the object; mapping, at the video tracking device, the physical information to the object identification information to generate object information of the object; and storing, at the video tracking device, the object information in a memory of the video tracking device.
