Abstract
In multimedia object tracking and merging of tracked objects, an object is tracked through frames of multimedia content until a frame appears in which the tracked object is not detected. A first track is designated as one or more consecutive frames in which the tracked object is detected, the first track ending at the first frame. Tracking continues to try to detect the tracked object in a second frame subsequent to the first frame. If the tracked object is not again detected, information about the first track is output. If the tracked object is detected subsequently, a second track of consecutive tracked object detection is designated. The tracked objects in the two tracks are then compared with the aid of trained data models, and a matching score is determined to reflect the degree of match. If the matching score meets or exceeds a first threshold, the compared tracks are merged using the same identifier assigned to both tracks. If the matching score does not exceed a second threshold that is less than the first threshold, the tracks may be discarded as showing no match. If the matching score falls between the first and second thresholds, an indication is output for further analysis of the compared tracked objects.
