System and method to improve object tracking using tracking fingerprints

Abstract:

A method includes receiving image data at a first tracking system. The image data represents a region in an image of a sequence of images. The method also includes generating a first tracking fingerprint based on the image data. The method further includes comparing the first tracking fingerprint and a second tracking fingerprint. The method also includes providing an output from the first tracking system to a second tracking system based on a result of the comparison of the first tracking fingerprint and the second tracking fingerprint. The output includes an instruction associated with an object model stored at the second tracking system.
