Abstract
Event recognition systems include a camera and a controller. The controller is communicatively connectable to the camera, and includes a processor and logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the event recognition system to perform operations including: recognizing an event involving an equipment object based upon image data captured by the camera, executing an event procedure based upon the event, the event procedure including controlling the equipment object, and transmitting the image data to a network-based client based upon the event.
Claims16
An event recognition system, comprising:
- a camera;
- and
- a controller communicatively connected to the camera, the controller comprising a processor and logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the event recognition system to perform operations, including:
- recognizing an event involving a first airport equipment object and a second airport equipment object based upon image data captured by the camera, wherein recognizing the event comprises recognizing the first airport equipment object and the second airport equipment object in the image data using the controller to execute an algorithm which receives the image data as an input;
- executing an event procedure based upon the event, the event procedure comprising controlling the first airport equipment object;
- and
- transmitting the image data to a network-based client based upon the event,
- wherein the first airport equipment object or the second airport equipment object comprises a sensor separate from the camera and communicatively connected to the controller, and wherein recognizing the event is based upon a signal received from the sensor.
An airport event recognition system, comprising:
- a camera;
- and
- a controller communicatively connected to the camera, the controller comprising a processor and logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the event recognition system to perform operations, including:
- recognizing a first event involving a first airport equipment object based upon image data captured by the camera by recognizing the first airport equipment object in the image data using the controller to execute an algorithm which receives the image data as an input;
- recognizing a second event involving a second airport equipment object based upon image data captured by the camera by recognizing the second airport equipment object in the image data using the algorithm;
- recognizing a third event based upon the first event and the second event;
- executing an event procedure based upon the third event, the event procedure comprising controlling the first airport equipment object;
- and
- transmitting the image data to a network-based client based upon the third event.
