OBJECT TRACKING METHOD AND OBJECT TRACKING APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An object tracking method comprising:
- extracting a location of an interest object from a global image obtained by capturing an object search area including the interest object using a global camera;
capturing the interest object using a local camera adjacent to the location of the interest object;
identifying a location of the interest object from a local image obtained by the local camera; and
determining a tracking error associated with the interest object by analyzing the location of the interest object extracted from the global image and the location of the interest object identified from the local image.

11. An object tracking apparatus comprising:
-
a location extractor configured to extract a location of an interest object from a global image obtained by capturing an object search area including the interest object using a global camera; an interest object identifier configured to capture the interest object by a local camera adjacent to the location of the interest object, and identify a location of the interest object from a local image obtained by the local camera; a tracking error determiner configured to determine a tracking error associated with the interest object by comparing the location of the interest object extracted from the global image and the location of the interest object identified from the local image; and a tracking location corrector configured to correct a tracking location of the interest object based on a result of determining the tracking error. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
