Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for tracking objects of interest using distance-based thresholding. One of the methods includes detecting an object depicted in an image captured by a camera, determining a predicted physical distance between the object and the camera, selecting, from a plurality of predetermined confidence thresholds, a confidence threshold for the predicted physical distance, each confidence threshold in the plurality of predetermined confidence thresholds for a different physical distance range, the confidence threshold having a physical distance range that includes the predicted physical distance, and determining, using the confidence threshold and a confidence score that indicates a likelihood that the object is an object of interest, that the object is likely an object of interest.
