Nvidia patents method to track objects in images using prior locations
Nvidia has been granted a patent for a system that identifies where objects are in new images by looking at where they were in previous pictures. The technology creates specific areas of interest in the earlier images to help locate similar objects in later frames.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and methods to cause one or more locations of one or more objects within one or more images to be identified based, at least in part, on one or more locations of the one or more objects within one or more previous images.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processors, comprising: circuitry to: identify one or more locations of one or more first objects within one or more first images; generate one or more regions of interest (ROI) within the one or more first images based, at least in part, on the one or more locations of the one or more first objects; and identify one or more second objects within one or more defined areas in one or more second images, wherein the one or more second objects comprise different instances of a same type of object as the one or more first objects, wherein the one or more second images are to be captured at a time subsequent to the one or more first images.
