Search for people using computer vision
Searching video content for specific people – known in computer vision terms as Person Re-identification (Person Re-ID) – is the process of matching individuals across multiple non-continuous camera views within a multi-feed environment. Person identification is another method of searching for people, where footage is scourged for people on a defined watch-list. Person Re-ID is significantly more complicated, as it is performed without an established identity catalog to compare individuals against.
Common computer vision use case for people search include:
Law enforcement
Police commonly use video search capabilities to find suspects as part of post-crime investigations.
Security
Airports, government facilities, sporting venues and other high-risk settings use video analytics to identify and deny access to certain individuals.
Emergency services
Can leverage video search in an attempt to find vision of missing persons at last-known locations.
