Patent number: 12592070Abstract: A registered object image storage unit stores at least one image of an object as a registered object image in association with an object identification number that uniquely identifies the object. The unknown object image acquisition unit acquires an unknown object image that is an image of an unknown object. An object re-identification unit re-identifies the acquired unknown object image by using the registered object image stored in the registered object image storage unit. When a condition that all registered object images stored in the registered object image storage unit in association with the object identification number of the object in the unknown object image whose re-identification succeeded differ from the unknown object image, a registered object image update unit adds the unknown object image to the registered object image storage unit as a new registered object image in association with the object identification number.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: March 31, 2026Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Jun Piao
