Abstract
A system includes a first sensor configured to generate images of at least a first portion of a space. A processor of the system is configured to determine a position of a possible object in the space based on generated images.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a first sensor configured to generate images of at least a first portion of a space;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine, based at least in part on one or more images generated during an initial time interval, first pixel coordinates corresponding to regions of the images generated by the first sensor to exclude during object tracking;
- and
- determine, based at least in part on one or more images generated during a subsequent time interval after the initial time interval, second pixel coordinates corresponding to a first possible object in the space;
- determine whether at least a threshold amount of the second pixel coordinates overlap with the first pixel coordinates;
- and
- in response to determining that at least the threshold amount of the second pixel coordinates do not overlap with the first pixel coordinates, determine a first position of the first possible object.
