Abstract
A method for tracing individuals through physical spaces that includes registering cameras in groupings relating a physical space. The method further includes performing local video monitoring including a video sensor input that outputs frames from inputs from recording with the cameras in the groupings, a face detection application for extracting faces from the output frames, and a face matching application for matching faces extracted from the output frames to a watchlist, and a local movement monitor that assigns tracks to the matched faces. The method further includes performing a global monitor including a biometrics monitor for preparing the watchlist of faces, the watchlist of faces being updated when a new face is detected by the cameras in the groupings, and a global movement monitor that combines the outputs from the assigned tracks to the matched faces to launch a report regarding individual population traveling to the physical spaces.
