Abstract
A method and system for tracking objects in a defined area compares image data of a detected object to profiles of persons that have entered the defined area to find the best match and connect the profile of the best match to the detected object. Identification profiles of persons that have been identified, by presenting their credentials, when entering the defined area are registered as candidates and are later matched with objects detected in the defined area. The system and method use the physical access control system of the defined area to reduce the number of candidates for the detected objects to the most likely candidates. The processing time and need for resources of the object tracking in the defined area are thereby reduced.
