Abstract
A computer-implemented method for entity detection is described. In one embodiment, an entity passing through a perimeter of a predefined area is detected via a camera. Upon detecting the entity passing through the perimeter of the predefined area, a type of the entity is classified from an image of the entity captured by the camera. Upon classifying the type of the entity, a feature of the entity is detected from the image of the entity. An identifier is assigned to the entity based on the type and the detected feature of the entity. The identifier distinguishes the entity from another entity of a same type.
