Abstract
Implementations are described herein for tracking objects with changing appearances across temporally-disparate images. In various implementations, a first probability distribution over a plurality of classes may be determined for a first biological object depicted in a first image captured at a first point in time. The classes may represent stages of growth of biological objects. Additional probability distribution(s) over the plurality of classes may be determined for candidate biological object(s) depicted in a second image captured at a second point in time subsequent to the first point in time. The candidate biological object(s) may potentially match the first biological object depicted in the first image. Based on a time interval between the first and second points in time, the first probability distribution may be compared to the probability distribution(s) of the candidate biological object(s) depicted in the second image to match one of the candidate biological object(s) depicted in the second image to the first biological object depicted in the first image.
