Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for environment monitoring. Exemplary embodiments may include emitting one or more soundwaves within an environment, detecting the emitted one or more soundwaves, and identifying motion of an object within the environment based on an analysis of the detected one or more soundwaves.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method for environment monitoring, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- emitting one or more soundwaves within an environment, wherein the one or more soundwaves are infrasonic;
- detecting the emitted one or more soundwaves;
- identifying motion of an object within the environment based on an analysis of the detected one or more soundwaves;
- and
- tracking a location of the object over time.
A computer system for environment monitoring, the computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories, the computer system performing a method comprising:
- emitting one or more soundwaves within an environment, wherein the one or more soundwaves are infrasonic;
- detecting the emitted one or more soundwaves;
- identifying motion of an object within the environment based on an analysis of the detected one or more soundwaves;
- and
- tracking a location of the object over time.
A computer program product for environment monitoring, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- emitting one or more soundwaves within an environment, wherein the one or more soundwaves are infrasonic;
- detecting the emitted one or more soundwaves;
- identifying motion of an object within the environment based on an analysis of the detected one or more soundwaves;
- and
- tracking a location of the object over time.
