Abstract
Provided are methods, apparatus, and computer-readable mediums for tracking objects that intersect with an exclusion zone defined for a scene being captured by a video camera. An exclusion zone can delineate an area of a video frame where background objects may be moving. The exclusion zone informs an object tracking system that objects within the exclusion zone should not be tracked. In various implementations, the object tracking system can determine that a bounding box for a blob intersects with the exclusion zone. The object tracking system can further, based on the bounding box intersecting with the exclusion zone, prevent outputting of a blob tracker associated with the blob.
