Abstract
A method of providing anonymized data for facilitating reidentification in a visual tracking system, the method comprising: detecting, in images obtained from a plurality of image sources, subareas which each contain a tracking target; computing, for each subarea, a feature vector which represents a visual appearance of the tracking target therein; for a first/second subgroup of the image sources, providing first/second reidentification data items by anonymizing each feature vector using a predefined one-way function modified by a first/second tracking-rights token, and disclosing the first/second reidentification data items annotated with locations of the respective subareas to a first/second tracking client, wherein the second tracking-rights token is distinct from the first tracking-rights token; and preventing access to the feature vectors.
