Nvidia patents cameras that share data to track objects together

Nvidia describes a system where multiple camera devices work together to track objects in an environment. Each camera detects an object and shares that information with other cameras, allowing them to identify and follow the same object even if it moves out of one camera's view.

Why it mattersThis technology could improve how security systems or autonomous vehicles monitor their surroundings by ensuring objects are tracked continuously across different camera angles.

In the filing’s own words

In various examples, techniques for collaborative multi-view tracking systems and applications are described herein. Systems and methods described herein may use individual sensor devices—such as camera devices—that communicate with one another to collaboratively track objects located within an environment. For instance, a sensor device may use sensor data such as image data—to detect and track an object. The sensor device may then generate object information associated with the tracked object and share the object information with one or more other sensor devices. The other sensor device(s) may also use sensor data—such as image data to detect an object. Additionally, the other sensor device(s) may use the object information received from the sensor device to determine that the detected object includes the tracked object. This way, the sensor devices collaborate with one another to continue tracking the object.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A camera device comprising: one or more image sensors; and one or more processors to: determine, based at least on image data obtained using the one or more image sensors, first information associated with a detected object represented by the image data; receive, from one or more second camera devices, data representing second information associated with one or more tracked objects, the second information including at least one or more identifiers associated with the one or more tracked objects; determine, based at least on the first information and the second information, to assign an identifier of the one or more identifiers to the detected object; and perform one or more operations associated with tracking the detected object using at least the identifier.
