Abstract
A system may track a person at a location across multiple cameras in real time, while maintaining identification of the person through their visit. The person may not be personally identified; however, the person's presence in video frames captured by different cameras may be linked together. The linked frames may be evaluated by one or more analytics applications. For example, an analytics application may determine a trajectory of a person through a location and plot an overlay of that person's trip through the location on the map. This information may be used, for example, to optimize store layout, asset protection purposes, for counting a number of people at the location at a given time (e.g., for understanding busy hours of the location), determining whether social distancing or other health and/or safety measures may be in compliance, etc.
