Summary
Tracking objects through interactions is a complex task, especially when it is important to be able to obtain the final trajectory followed by the object being track. This work proposes the use of a Context Layer to solve the problem of tracking through objects interactions, using a Fuzzy Reasoning System. Other authors have already used context information within a tracking system in order to improve its performance. The novelty of this work relies in that a Context Layer is created to reason over a general tracking system and thus improve the performance, instead of creating a context-based tracking algorithm. The experimentation shows how this Context Layer reasons over and improves a general tracking system.
