DYNAMIC EXTENSION OF MAP DATA FOR OBJECT DETECTION AND TRACKING
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of tracking a target object in an object recognition system, the method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of images with a camera;
acquiring offline map data of the target object; and
simultaneously tracking the target object and dynamically building online map data from the plurality of images, wherein tracking the target object includes tracking the target object based on the online map data and the offline map data.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of tracking a target object in an object recognition system includes acquiring a plurality of images with a camera and simultaneously tracking the target object and dynamically building online map data from the plurality of images. Tracking of the target object is based on the online map data and the offline map data. In one aspect, tracking the target object includes enabling only one of the online map data and offline map data for tracking based on whether tracking is successful. In another aspect, tracking the target object includes fusing the online map data with the offline map data to generate a fused online model.
