A system and method for identifying objects, particularly vehicles,
between two non-overlapping cameras. More specifically, the method and
system determines whether a vehicle depicted in an image captured by a
first camera is the same vehicle or a different vehicle than a vehicle
depicted in an image captured by a second camera. This intra-camera
analysis determines whether the vehicle viewed by the first camera is the
same as the vehicle viewed by the second camera, without directly
matching the two vehicle images, thus eliminating the problems and
inaccuracies caused by disparate environmental conditions acting on the
two cameras, such as dramatic appearance and aspect changes.
