Abstract
In an aspect, an elevated lookout apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may comprise at least a housing mounted in an elevated location. The apparatus may additionally include a plurality of cameras positioned radially within the at least a housing in a manner to create a combined field of view, wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras is configured a generate image data. The apparatus may also include at least a processor communicatively connected to the plurality of cameras. The processor may be configured receive the image data from each camera of the plurality of cameras. The processor may also be configured to combine the image data from each camera of the plurality of cameras into a combined video using an image machine learning model.
Claims18
An elevated lookout apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises:
- at least a housing mounted in an elevated location;
- a plurality of cameras positioned radially within the at least a housing in a manner to create a combined field of view, wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras is configured to generate image data;
- and
- at least a processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor and the plurality of cameras, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to:
- receive the image data from each camera of the plurality of cameras;
- and
- train an image machine learning model using image training data, wherein image training data correlates exemplary image data as inputs to examples of combined videos as an output;
- and
- combine the image data from each camera of the plurality of cameras into a combined video using the trained image machine learning model;
- identify a horizon datum as a function of the combined video using an identification learning model, wherein the identification machine learning model is configured to receive the combined video as an input and output an area of interest and the horizon datum;
- and
- identify the area of interest utilizing a severity rating calculated as a function of a proximity between the elevated lookout apparatus and the area of interest.
A method of use for an elevated lookout apparatus, wherein the method comprises:
- generating, using each camera of a plurality of cameras, image data, wherein the plurality of cameras are positioned radially within the at least a housing in a manner to create a combined field of view, wherein the at least a housing is mounted in an elevated location;
- receiving, using at least a processor, the image data from each camera of the plurality of cameras;
- and
- training, using the at least a processor, an image machine learning model using image training data, wherein image training data correlates exemplary image data as inputs to examples of combined videos as an output;
- and
- combining, using the at least a processor, the image data from each camera of the plurality of cameras into a combined video using the trained image machine learning model;
- identifying a horizon datum using an identification learning model, wherein the identification machine learning model is configured to receive the combined video as an input and output an area of interest and the horizon datum;
- and
- identifying the area of interest utilizing a severity rating calculated as a function of a proximity between the elevated lookout apparatus and the area of interest.
