Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting activation of a virtual sensor in a scene are proposed, wherein the virtual sensor comprises data representing a geometric form, data representing a position in the scene and data representing one or several trigger conditions. A data representation of the scene is captured, and a determination of whether a virtual sensor trigger condition is fulfilled is made, based on an analysis of the captured data representation in an area corresponding to the geometric form and position of the virtual sensor.
Claims13
A method for detecting activation of a virtual sensor in a scene, wherein the virtual sensor comprises data representing a geometric form, data representing a position in the scene and data representing one or several trigger conditions, the method comprising:
- capturing a first data representation of the scene;
- and
- determining whether one or several of the virtual sensor trigger conditions is/are fulfilled based on an analysis of the captured first data representation in an area corresponding to the geometric form and position of the virtual sensor.
A system for detecting activation of a virtual sensor in a scene, the system comprising:
- a scene capture sub-system configured to capture a scene and generate a first data representation of the scene;
- a virtual sensor sub-system in operative communication with the scene capture sub-system, the virtual sensor sub-system comprising an interface for receiving data representing the first data representation of the scene, a processor, and a memory operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the virtual sensor sub-system is configured to perform a method for detecting activation of the virtual sensor in the scene, wherein the virtual sensor comprises data representing a geometric form, data representing a position in the scene and data representing one or several trigger conditions, the method comprising:
- capturing a first data representation of the scene;
- determining whether one or several of the virtual sensor trigger condition is/are fulfilled based on an analysis of the captured first data representation in an area corresponding to the geometric form and position of the virtual sensor.
A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for detecting activation of a virtual sensor in a scene, the computer executable instructions comprising:
- data representing a geometric form of the virtual sensor, data representing a position of the virtual sensor in the scene, and data representing one or several trigger conditions of the virtual sensor;
- instructions for:
- receiving data representing a first data representation of the scene;
- analyzing received data representing a first data representation of the scene in an area corresponding to the geometric form and position of the virtual sensor;
- and
- determining whether one or several of the virtual sensor trigger condition is/are fulfilled based on the analysis of the received data.
A computer program product comprising computer program code tangibly embodied in a computer readable medium, said computer program code comprising instructions to, when provided to a computer system and executed, cause said computer to perform a method for detecting activation of a virtual sensor in a scene, wherein the virtual sensor comprises data representing a geometric form, data representing a position in the scene and data representing one or several trigger conditions, the method comprising determining whether one or several of the virtual sensor trigger conditions is/are fulfilled based on an analysis of data representing a captured first data representation of the scene in an area corresponding to the geometric form and position of the virtual sensor.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed, causes a system comprising a processor operatively coupled with a memory, to perform a method for detecting activation of a virtual sensor in a scene, wherein the virtual sensor comprises data representing a geometric form, data representing a position in the scene and data representing one or several trigger conditions, the method comprising determining whether one or several of the virtual sensor trigger conditions is/are fulfilled based on an analysis of data representing a captured first data representation of the scene in an area corresponding to the geometric form and position of the virtual sensor.
