    Abstract: A method detects one or more occluded areas of a scene analysed by an object tracking system. The method includes building a map of one or more occluded areas in a scene. Building the map comprises running a re-identification algorithm on a video sequence to try to resume a lost object track. If the object track is successfully resumed, the method includes determining an area of the scene where the first object track is lost and an area of the scene where the first object track is resumed. A connection between the first and the second area of the scene is added the map such that the map identifies that an object track being lost in the first area of the scene has been resumed in the second area of the scene.

    Abstract: A method for prioritizing feature extraction for object re-identification in an object tracking application. Region of interests (ROI) for object feature extraction is determined based on motion areas in the image frame. Each object detected in an image frame and which is at least partly overlapping with a ROI is associated with the ROI. A list of candidate objects for feature extraction is determined by, for each ROI associated with two or more objects: adding each object of the two or more objects that is not overlapping with any of the other objects among the two or more objects with more than a threshold amount. From the list of candidate objects, at least one object is selected, and image data of the image frame depicting the selected object is used for determining a feature vector for the selected object.

    Abstract: A method of generating a segmentation outcome which indicates individual instances of one or more object classes for an image in a sequence of images is disclosed. The method comprises: determining (501) a coherent region of the image; processing (502) the image to determine a tensor representing pixel-specific confidence scores; generating (503) a series of temporary segmentation masks for the coherent region, wherein each temporary segmentation mask is generated by interpreting the tensor with respect to a single object class using a different temporary confidence score threshold; evaluating (504) the series of temporary segmentation masks to determine if an object mask condition is met; depending on the outcome of the evaluation, setting (505) the temporary confidence score threshold as a final confidence score threshold for the pixels of the temporary segmentation mask, or setting (505) a default confidence score threshold as a final confidence score threshold for the coherent region; and generating (506) a final segmentation outcome for the image.

    Abstract: A method of transmitting an image stream together with color metadata is disclosed. The method comprises capturing image frames of a first image stream, capturing image frames of a second image stream, using camera settings for prioritizing color capture, detecting an object in a first image frame of the first image stream and determining color information associated with the object based on the second image stream. The method further comprises adding the color information as color metadata to the first image stream, encoding the first image stream, and transmitting the encoded first image stream together with the color metadata. A corresponding device is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of detecting a change of ratio of occlusion of a tracked object in a video sequence. For each of a plurality of image frames, a bounding box of the tracked object is determined and for each pair of successive image frames, an intersection over union (IoU) of a first bounding box in a first image frame and a second bounding box in a second image frame is calculated. Similarly, for a further pair of successive image frames, a further IoU of a first bounding box in a first image frame of the further pair of successive image frames and a second bounding box in a second image frame of the further pair of successive image frames is calculated. If the further IoU differs from the calculated IoUs by more than a threshold amount, the ratio of occlusion of the tracked object has changed.

    Abstract: A method and a device for setting a value of an object property in a sequence of metadata frames corresponding to a sequence of video frames is provided. An object is detected in a plurality of video frames. For a temporally first video frame a first value of an object property is determined and the object property is set to have the first value in a metadata frame corresponding to the first video frame. For each subsequent video frame, a subsequent value of the object property is determined and a deviation is calculated with respect to a value of the object property that was last set in a metadata frame. If the deviation exceeds a non-zero threshold, the object property is set to have the subsequent value in a metadata frame corresponding to the subsequent video frame. Otherwise no value of the object property is set in that metadata frame.
