Abstract
Techniques for distributed object detection and tracking are described. In an example method, a first current frame from a series of frames is sent to a first node, for detection of a first object. After object detection information for the first object is received in return, a second node is selected, and a second current frame is sent to the second node for an updated object detection. In addition, while waiting for the results of the updated object detection, two or more frames following the second current frame are sent to respective tracking nodes. Object modelling information indicating location and/or classification of one or more objects, as derived from the previously received object detection information is also sent to each of the respective tracking nodes. Tracking information for the first object is received from each of the respective tracking nodes.
