Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques for enhancing use of two-dimensional (2D) video analytics by using depth data. Two-dimensional image data representing an image comprising a first object is obtained, as well as depth data of a portion of the image that includes the first object. The depth data indicates a depth of the first object. An initial 2D classification of the portion of the image is generated using the 2D image data without using the depth data. The initial 2D classification is stored as an approved 2D classification when the initial 2D classification is determined consistent with the depth data. Additionally or alternatively, a confidence level of the initial 2D classification may be adjusted depending on whether the initial 2D classification is determined to be consistent with the depth data, or the depth data may be used with the 2D image data for classification.
