Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems for occupancy detection are described herein. One device includes instructions to receive an image of a portion of a facility captured by an imaging device, the image defined by a field of view, and set a first occupancy detection threshold for a first part of the field of view and a second occupancy detection threshold for a second part of the field of view.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon executable by a processor to:
- receive an image of a portion of a facility captured by an imaging device, the image defined by a field of view;
- and
- set a first occupancy detection threshold for a first part of the field of view and a second occupancy detection threshold for a second part of the field of view.
A method for occupancy detection, comprising:
- receiving an image of a portion of a facility captured by a video camera;
- receiving a user input that distinguishes a first part of the image from a second part of the image;
- setting a first occupancy detection threshold for a region of an imaging sensor associated with the first part of the image;
- and
- setting a second occupancy detection threshold for a region of the imaging sensor associated with the second part of the image.
2 more elements
A system for occupancy detection, comprising:
- an imaging device configured to capture a video image of a portion of a facility and a subsequent video image of the portion of the facility from a same position, wherein the imaging device includes an imaging sensor;
- a display device configured to:
- display a frame of the video image;
- and
- receive and display an indication of an area of interest of the frame made by a user;
- a computing device configured to:
- associate a first region of the imaging sensor with the area of interest;
- associate a second region of the imaging sensor with an area other than the area of interest;
- receive the subsequent video image;
- apply a first occupancy detection threshold to the first region during the subsequent video image;
- and
- apply a second occupancy detection threshold to the second region during the subsequent video image.
