US Patent 11017539 Object tracking and identification using intelligent camera orchestration

In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a communication interface and a processor. The communication interface is to communicate with a plurality of cameras. The processor is to obtain metadata associated with an initial state of an object, wherein the object is captured by a first camera in a first video stream at a first point in time, and wherein the metadata is obtained based on the first video stream. The processor is further to predict, based on the metadata, a future state of the object at a second point in time, and identify a second camera for capturing the object at the second point in time. The processor is further to configure the second camera to capture the object in a second video stream at the second point in time, wherein the second camera is configured to capture the object based on the future state of the object.
