Current milestone: Long-gap identity recovery
Recover identity after extended absence or occlusion.
Detection

Reliable player detections under defined recording conditions.

Long-lived tracking

Maintain anonymous tracks through normal open play.

Track stitching

Join fragments without creating unacceptable false merges.

Short-gap identity continuity

Recover identity after short occlusions.

Long-gap identity recovery

Recover identity after extended absence or occlusion.

Multi-signal fusion

Combine appearance, topology, motion, and geometry.

Population-scale validation

Validate across a meaningful player population.

Cross-session identity

Preserve identity between recordings.
