Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring a user by a plurality of image sensors are disclosed. The system includes a plurality of image sensors that output content descriptive of one or more visual attributes of the user, where each of the image sensors are positioned at a unique angle facing a user. The system also includes one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The non-transitory memory modules storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to receive the content from the plurality of image sensors, and assign respective weights to each of the plurality of image sensors based on the content. The respective weights of the plurality of image sensors are actively re-weighted over a period of time. The processors are also caused to merge the content of the plurality of image sensors together.
