Systems and methods for identifying a unified entity from a plurality of discrete parts
9 Jan 24
Disclosed systems and methods can include capturing the sequence of images of a monitored region that includes a sub-region of interest, processing the sequence of images using heuristics and rules of an artificial intelligence model to identify the plurality of discrete parts that are associated with a type of a unified entity, and processing the sequence of images using the heuristics and the rules of the artificial intelligence model to virtually link together a group of the plurality of discrete parts that correspond to a specific embodiment of the unified entity that is present in the sub-region of interest, wherein the heuristics and the rules of the artificial intelligence model can be developed from a training process that includes the artificial intelligence model receiving sample images delineating exemplary discrete parts on exemplary embodiments of the unified entity.
