Abstract: A method for monitoring a person of interest in video that may be generated by multiple cameras in different locations. A sequence of images along with data such as time and location, called a tracklet, may be generated for the person of interest. This reference tracklet may then be compared to other tracklets received at later times to determine if the person of interest appears in these other tracklets. Analyses may include locating persons in the video images, calculating person signatures, and comparing signatures to signatures of the person of interest. Analyses may also include filters for possible locations of the person of interest based on how quickly this person could move from one location to another, and filters based on color of the person of interest's clothing. Possible matches may be confirmed by an operator, while matches with high confidence may be automatically identified as the person of interest.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for real-time multi-camera tracking of a target object comprising, for at least one new tracklet captured by at least one camera, calculating at least a first distance between the new tracklet and at least one reference tracklet belonging to the target object. The method also includes, when the smallest calculated first distance is between a first predetermined threshold value, called re-identification threshold, and a second predetermined threshold value, called human threshold, presenting the new tracklet to an operator, for the operator to assign or not assign the new tracklet to the target object, manually. The human threshold is a function of the number of reference tracklets in the reference list. The invention also relates to a computer program, to an object re-identification device and to an object re-identification system implementing such a method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for assisting real-time monitoring of a person of interest, implemented by computer, based on at least one sequence of images (104) of said person of interest, called reference tracklet, said method (100) comprising at least one iteration of the following steps: obtaining, in real time, at least one new sequence of images (108), called new tracklet, relating to a person; analysing said new tracklet (108), comprising the following steps carried out for at least one reference tracklet (104): calculating (112) a distance between a signature of said reference tracklet (104) and a signature of said new tracklet (108), when said distance is less than or equal to at least one predetermined threshold, automated filtering (114, 116) of said new tracklet (108) with at least one parameter relating to said reference tracklet (104); and when said new tracklet (108) satisfies said analysis step (114, 116), validating or not (117, 118) said new tracklet (108) as belonging to sai

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of tracking a reference element (Eref) on images of an environment, the reference element (Eref) being associated with a list of reference visual signatures, the method comprising the steps of: reception of an image of the environment, detection of a first element on the received image, determination of a first visual signature for detection, calculation of a distance between the first visual signature and a reference visual signature, comparison of the calculated distance to a first threshold and a second threshold, identification of the first element as being the reference element, when the distance compared is less than or equal to the first threshold, the first element being unidentified when the distance compared is strictly greater than the second threshold.
