Abstract: A system may track a person at a location across multiple cameras in real time, while maintaining identification of the person through their visit. The person may not be personally identified; however, the person's presence in video frames captured by different cameras may be linked together. The linked frames may be evaluated by one or more analytics applications. For example, an analytics application may determine a trajectory of a person through a location and plot an overlay of that person's trip through the location on the map. This information may be used, for example, to optimize store layout, asset protection purposes, for counting a number of people at the location at a given time (e.g., for understanding busy hours of the location), determining whether social distancing or other health and/or safety measures may be in compliance, etc.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for displaying subjects of a portion of content and searching for content related to a particular subject in the content. Media data of content is analyzed during playback, and a number of action signatures are identified. Each action signature is associated with a particular subject within the content. The action signature is stored, along with a timestamp corresponding to a playback position at which the action signature begins, in association with an identifier of the particular subject. Upon receiving a command, icons representing each of a number of action signatures at or near the current playback position are displayed. Upon receiving user selection of an icon corresponding to a particular signature, a portion of the content corresponding to the action signature is played back or a search interface is displayed including autocomplete suggestions related to the subject of the signature.
