In general such policies are called "non-maximal suppression", and yes, it
is standard to include various heuristics and/or learned decision fusion
techniques to resolve unique detections.  While this is still somewhat an
area of research to perfect such techniques, they have been already widely
deployed for over a decade in e.g., vehicle and pedestrian detectors, both
within views and across multiple views.  Each vendor will likely implement
a specific policy at first, these policies will generally rely on the
network delivering as many samples as possible with minimal disruption to
the same AI context, ie EID in this case.
