Abstract
A method for using an object key to deprioritize processing of relative regions of images of an object includes capturing an image of an object to be tracked and selecting an object key of the object. The object key includes a portion of the object, the object key is attached to the object and is recognizable by an image capture device. The method includes calculating a relative size of the object key with respect to a size of the object and a location of the object key with respect to the object, and tracking one or more locations of the object from the relative size and location of the object with respect to the object key and by capturing a plurality of images of the object key at a resolution sufficient for tracking movement of the object key.
