Patent attributes
Described is a multiple-camera system and process for re-identifying an agent located in a materials handling facility based on anterior views of agents. An anterior view of a newly detected agent may be partitioned and color signatures generated for each partition. Likewise, stored anterior views of agents (candidate agents) that may potentially be the newly detected agent are partitioned and color signatures generated for each partition. Based on the color signatures, a similarity between the anterior view of the newly detected agent and the candidate agents is determined. The similarity may be used to either determine that the newly detected agent is one of the candidate agents or reduce the set of candidate agents that are considered during a manual review.
