ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of a method of producing a transit graph of a priori information relating to movements of a plurality of targets from a first of a plurality of targets locations to a second of the plurality of locations can be broadly summarized by the following steps: processing a plurality of target observations from a plurality of image capture devices to produce at least one primary track for at least one target, wherein each primary track includes ordered sequences of observation events having similarities in their visual signatures; and processing the at least one primary track to determine a priori information relating to movement of a target from a first of a plurality of locations to a second of the plurality of locations. Other methods and systems are also provided.
