Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention makes it possible to determine whether or not objects appearing in various temporal positions in an input video are identical to each other. Identity between a plurality of objects detected from an input video is determined by using an object identity probability determined based on an interframe distance, the interframe distance being a distance between frames from which the respective objects are detected.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An identity determination apparatus comprising: a processor configured to: detect a plurality of objects from an input video by using pattern recognition techniques with templates; calculate an interframe distance between frames from which the objects are detected, the interframe distance being a time distance between frames from which the respective objects are detected; calculate an object identity probability by using the calculated interframe…
