Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for identifying a target object. An object detection module detects objects by matching data from one or more sensors to known data of a target object and determining one or more correlation metrics for each object. An object tracking module tracks geographic locations for detected objects over time using subsequent data from the one or more sensors. A contextual data module determines one or more contextual indicators for detected objects based on the data from the one or more sensors. An artificial intelligence module estimates probabilities that detected objects comprise the target object based on the correlation metrics, the geographic locations, the contextual indicators, and one or more target contextual indicators associated with the target object. The artificial intelligence module estimates the probabilities using an artificial intelligence model, such as a Bayesian network.
