Abstract
A method, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a system are disclosed for observing one or more subjects. The method includes monitoring a space with at least one master sensor, wherein a plurality of secondary sensors are installed in the space, and wherein a number of the at least one master sensor is less than a number of the plurality of secondary sensors; detecting regions of interest based on input from the at least one master sensor; identifying one or more secondary sensors from the plurality of secondary sensors in the detected regions of interest; and recognizing activities in the detected regions of interest from the one or more secondary sensors.
Claims21
A method for observing one or more subjects, the method comprising:
- monitoring a space with at least one master sensor, wherein a plurality of secondary sensors are installed in the space, and wherein a number of the at least one master sensor is less than a number of the plurality of secondary sensors;
- detecting regions of interest based on input from the at least one master sensor;
- identifying one or more secondary sensors from the plurality of secondary sensors in the detected regions of interest;
- and
- recognizing activities in the detected regions of interest from the one or more secondary sensors.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing a computer program storing computer readable code for observing one or more subjects, the program being executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a process comprising:
- monitoring a space with at least one master sensor, wherein a plurality of secondary sensors are installed in the space, and wherein a number of the at least one master sensor is less than a number of the plurality of secondary sensors;
- detecting regions of interest based on input from the at least one master sensor;
- identifying one or more secondary sensors from the plurality of secondary sensors in the detected regions of interest;
- and
- recognizing activities in the detected regions of interest from the one or more secondary sensors.
A system for observing one or more subjects, the system comprising:
- at least one master sensor for monitoring a space;
- a plurality of secondary sensors installed in the space, wherein a number of the at least one master sensor is less than a number of the plurality of secondary sensors;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- detect regions of interest based on input from the at least one master sensor;
- identify the one or more secondary sensors from the plurality of secondary sensors in the detected regions of interest;
- and
- recognize activities in the detected regions of interest from the one or more secondary sensors.
