OBJECT MATCHING METHOD AND CAMERA SYSTEM WITH AN OBJECT MATCHING FUNCTION
First Claim
1. An object matching method of matching an object staying inside an overlapped monitoring region between adjacent monitoring regions captured by two image capturing units, the two image capturing units respectively having a first coordinate system and a second coordinate system, the object matching method comprising:
- detecting at least one moving object located inside the overlapped monitoring region to generate a first coordinate point upon the first coordinate system and a second coordinate point upon the second coordinate system;
calculating at least one transforming parameter of the first coordinate system relative to the second coordinate system;
acquiring a reliability level according to a comparison result between the at least one transforming parameter and a threshold;
determining a final transform parameter by the reliability level;
utilizing the final transform parameter to transform the first coordinate point into a third coordinate point upon the second coordinate system; and
determining whether the first coordinate point and the second coordinate point are considered as the same moving object while a difference between the third coordinate point and the second coordinate point is smaller than a specific value.

Abstract
An object matching method is applied to a camera system with an object matching function. The object matching method includes detecting a moving object within overlapped monitoring areas of two image capturing units to generate a first coordinate point and a second coordinate point respectively upon a first coordinate system and a second coordinate system, calculating at least one transforming parameter of the first coordinate system relative to the second coordinate system, acquiring a reliability level according to a comparison result between the transforming parameter and a threshold, determining a final transform parameter by the reliability level, utilizing the final transform parameter to transform the first coordinate point into a third coordinate point upon the second coordinate system, and determining whether the first coordinate point and the second coordinate point indicate the same object by difference between the third coordinate point and the second coordinate point.
