Systems and methods for tracking occluded objects

Abstract

A method for tracking occluded objects includes encoding locations of a plurality of objects in an environment, determining a target object, receiving a first end point corresponding to a position of the target object before occlusion behind an occlusion object, distributing a hypothesis between both sides of the occlusion object during occlusion from a subsequent frame of the sequence of frames, receiving a second end point corresponding to a position of the target object after emerging from occlusion from another subsequent frame of the sequence of frames, and determining a trajectory of the target object when occluded by the occlusion object by performing inferences using a spatio-temporal probabilistic graph based on the current frame and the subsequent frames of the sequence of frames. The trajectory of the target object when occluded is used as a learning model for future target objects that are occluded by the occlusion object.
