OBJECT TRACKING WITH SHOT TRANSITION DETECTION AND DYNAMIC QUEUE RESIZING

An object tracking tool integrates scene transition detection and/or dynamic queue resizing. By integrating shot transition detection, the object tracking tool can change which operations are performed depending on whether a shot transition has been detected. For example, if a shot transition is not detected, lower-complexity interpolation operations can be performed to determine spatial information for objects, instead of using higher-complexity object detection operations, which can reduce computational complexity. As another example, depending on whether a shot transition has been detected, the object tracking tool can adjust operations performed when associating identifiers with objects, which can improve accuracy of object tracking operations. With dynamic queue resizing, an object tracking tool can selectively adjust the maximum size of a queue used to store frames for object tracking. Dynamic queue resizing can reduce the likelihood of the queue being empty, which could cause the object tracking tool to be idle or stalled.
