Abstract

See full text

An improved method of tracking an object of interest. The tracking that is enabled by the disclosed tracking engine is based on location estimation of a wireless terminal combined with aerial or satellite imagery of an object of interest, in which a relationship has been determined to exist between the wireless terminal and the object of interest. In some tracking scenarios, a wireless telecommunications network can be used to direct an image-based surveillance system where to start observing, as an object of interest heads away from a heavily populated area or other area with satisfactory wireless coverage. In some other tracking scenarios, the trajectory of the object as derived from the image data enables the tracking engine to target a specific portion of the wireless network to utilize in generating the location estimates, thereby reducing the resource utilization of the wireless network and tracking engine.
