Abstract
Actors may be detected and tracked within a scene using multiple imaging devices provided in a network that are aligned with fields of view that overlap at least in part. Processors operating on the imaging devices may evaluate the images using one or more classifiers to recognize body parts within the images, and to associate the body parts with a common actor within the scene. Each of the imaging devices may generate records of the positions of the body parts and provide such records to a central server, that may correlate body parts appearing within images captured by two or more of the imaging devices and generate a three-dimensional model of an actor based on positions of the body parts. Motion of the body parts may be tracked in subsequent images, and the model of the actor may be updated based on the motion.
