1. An apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors and comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
identifying a transitional image, via a processor, wherein the transitional image comprises:
a first region of an object in a first image of a transportation infrastructure component, and
a second region of the object in a second image of the transportation infrastructure component;
generating a reconstruction of the object using the transitional image, wherein the reconstruction of the object comprises a first region of the object and the second region of the object;
identifying a first portion of the object in a first image;
constructing a first bounding box around the first portion of the object in the first image, wherein the first bounding box comprises the first region of the object;
identifying a second portion of the object in the transitional image; and
constructing a second bounding box around the second portion of the object in the transitional image, wherein the second bounding box comprises the first region of the object in the transitional image and the second region of the object.
