TRACKING APPARATUS, TRACKING SYSTEM, TRACKING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031710 titled 'TRACKING APPARATUS, TRACKING SYSTEM, TRACKING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a tracking apparatus that can track a target object in a video based on its posture information.

  • The apparatus includes a detection unit that identifies the target object from multiple frames of video data.
  • It also has an extraction unit that extracts key points from the identified target object.
  • A posture information generation unit then uses these key points to generate posture information of the target object.
  • Finally, a tracking unit tracks the target object by using the position and orientation information from the generated posture information in each frame.


Original Abstract Submitted

A tracking apparatus that includes a detection unit that detects a tracked target from at least two frames constituting video data; an extraction unit that extracts at least one key point from the tracked target having been detected, a posture information generation unit that generates posture information of the tracked target based on the at least one key point, and a tracking unit that tracks the tracked target based on a position and an orientation of the posture information of the tracked target detected from each of the at least two frames.
