Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for processing motion paths for physical entities. For each physical entity among several physical entities, several representations are received of positions of the physical entity. In response to detecting that a number of physical entities among the physical entities traverse a similar motion path, a path record is generated, which represents the motion path traversed by the number of physical entities.
Claims25
A computer-implemented method for processing motion paths for physical entities, comprising:
- for each physical entity among a plurality of physical entities, receiving a plurality of representations of positions of the physical entity;
- in response to detecting that a number of physical entities among the plurality of physical entities traverse a similar motion path, generating a path record representing the motion path traversed by the number of physical entities.
A computer program product for processing motion paths for physical entities, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- for each physical entity among a plurality of physical entities, receiving a plurality of representations of positions of the physical entity;
- in response to detecting that a number of physical entities among the plurality of physical entities traverse a similar motion path, generating a path record representing the motion path traversed by the number of physical entities.
A computer-implemented method for detecting motion path outliers for physical entities, comprising:
- for each physical entity among a plurality of physical entities, receiving a plurality of representations of positions of the physical entity;
- in response to detecting that a physical entity among the plurality of physical entities traverse a motion path that is different from a motion path traversed by a majority of the physical entities in the plurality of entities, generating a path record representing the different motion path traversed by the first different physical entity.
A computer program product for detecting motion path outliers for physical entities, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- for each physical entity among a plurality of physical entities, receiving a plurality of representations of positions of the physical entity;
- in response to detecting that a physical entity among the plurality of physical entities traverse a motion path that is different from a motion path traversed by a majority of the physical entities in the plurality of entities, generating a path record representing the different motion path traversed by the first different physical entity.
A system for processing motion paths for physical entities, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory containing program code executable by the processor to perform a method comprising:
- for each physical entity among a plurality of physical entities, receiving a plurality of representations of positions of the physical entity;
- in response to detecting that a number of physical entities among the plurality of physical entities traverse a similar motion path, generating a path record representing the motion path traversed by the number of physical entities.
