Abstract
Techniques are disclosed which provide a detected object tracker for a video analytics system. As disclosed, the detected object tracker provides a robust foreground object tracking component for a video analytics system which allow other components of the video analytics system to more accurately evaluate the behavior of a given object (as well as to learn to identify different instances or occurrences of the same object) over time. More generally, techniques are disclosed for identifying what pixels of successive video frames depict the same foreground object. Logic implementing certain functions of the detected object tracker can be executed on either a conventional processor (e.g., a CPU) or a hardware acceleration processing device (e.g., a GPU), allowing multiple camera feeds to be evaluated in parallel.
