Abstract
A system and method for detecting motion with respect an object includes providing a processor and at least one video sensor; synchronizing the at least one video sensor to a dynamic event associated with the object; recording, by the at least one video sensor, a plurality of data sets including the object, each data set of the plurality of data sets being synchronized with respect to the dynamic event associated with the object; averaging, by the processor, the plurality of data sets to provide an averaged synchronized data set; and calculating, by the processor, a motion with respect to the object based on the averaged synchronized data set.
Claims17
A method for detecting motion with respect to an object, comprising:
- providing a processor and at least one video sensor;
- synchronizing the at least one video sensor to an event associated with the object;
- recording, by the at least one video sensor, a plurality of data sets including the object, each data set of the plurality of data sets being synchronized with respect to the event associated with the object;
- averaging, by the processor, the plurality of data sets to provide an averaged synchronized data set, wherein the averaging is per pixel basis averaging and the averaged synchronized data set comprises a pixel-basis averaged data set;
- and
- calculating, by the processor, a motion with respect to the object based on the averaged synchronized data set.
A system for detecting motion with respect to an object, comprising:
- a processor and at least one video sensor;
- wherein the at least one video sensor is configured to be synchronized to an event associated with the object;
- wherein the at least one video sensor is configured to record a plurality of data sets including the object, each data set of the plurality of data sets being synchronized with respect to the event associated with the object;
- wherein the processor is configured to average the plurality of data sets to provide an averaged synchronized data set, wherein the average is a per pixel basis average and the averaged synchronized data set comprises a pixel-basis averaged data set;
- and
- wherein the processor is configured to calculate a motion with respect to the object based on the averaged synchronized data.
A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, the computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of a computing system implements a method for detecting motion with respect to an object, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a video sensor, a plurality of data sets including the object, each data set of the plurality of data sets being synchronized with respect to an event associated with the object;
- averaging the plurality of data sets to provide an averaged synchronized data set, wherein the averaging is per pixel basis averaging and the averaged synchronized data set comprises a pixel-basis averaged data set;
- and
- calculating a motion with respect to the object based on the averaged synchronized data set.
