Abstract
Disjoint inter-camera object tracking is the task of tracking objects across video-surveillance cameras that have non-overlapping views. Unlike the closely related task of single-camera tracking, disjoint inter-camera tracking is difficult due to the gaps in observation as an object moves between camera views. To overcome this problem, appearance profiles of the objects seen in each camera are built and used for matching/tracking across different cameras. This paper proposes a new method that uses multiple features that are dynamically weighed for matching moving objects (people in our case) across cameras. In particular, the Zernike moment shape descriptor has been used together with blob histogram and other features to describe a moving object. Weighting emphasis is given to the better features, based on their stability, reliability and their time in the system (how recent they are). This weighting is used both during appearance aggregation and object comparison. Our experiments with real videos have shown the success of our proposed method even in difficult situations where the cameras used are different in terms of brand, quality and resolution.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
