Abstract
A system (100) for monitoring a controlled spatial volume (102) includes a lighting fixture (104) with one or more embedded sensors (106), a communication device (108) to provide monitored sensor data (142) for storage within a data store (140), a server (130) including a data analytic unit (136) in communication with the data store, the data analytic unit accessing the monitored sensor data to analyze the monitored data and provide status information on the spatial volume. The server can include a machine vision unit (138) to analyze the monitored data and create augmented reality renditions (520), which are rendered for display to a user by an augmented reality application (160).
Claims12
A system for monitoring a controlled spatial volume comprising:
- a lighting fixture comprising at least one embedded sensor configured to monitor a controlled spatial volume;
- a first infrared grid sensor positioned opposite a second infrared grid sensor, the first and second infrared grid sensors mounted at a top and bottom of a spatial environment defining a grid sensing area within the controlled spatial volume;
- a first communication device for providing monitored sensor data for storage in a data store;
- a server comprising a data analytic unit and configured to communicate with the data store, wherein the data analytic unit accesses monitored sensor data records to analyze the monitored sensor data, provides status information on the spatial volume, and implements thermal vision techniques to track interaction activity in the grid sensing area.
