Abstract
Disclosed herein are a method, system, and computer program product for determining a correspondence between a first object () tracked in a first field of view and a second object tracked () in a second field of view. The method determines a first area () in the first field of view, based on the location and size of the first object (). The method utilizes a predetermined area relationship between the first area () in the first field of view and at least one area () in the second field of view to determine a second area () in the second field of view. In one embodiment, the method determines the second area () in the second field of view by comparing predetermined area relationships between the first area () and any areas () in the second field to determine a best match. The method determines a correspondence between the first object () and the second object (), based on a comparison between a first object signature associated with the first object () and a second object signature associated with the second object ().
