Abstract
A method for 3D security cameras to selectively capture and transmit images to avoid congestion of a network coupling them to a central server. Skeleton detection circuits perform conditional event capture when triggered. Head, hands, and feet are associated with pixel blocks. Sequences of images provide indicia of remarkable forces, motions, and weapons. Images are transformed to effectively alert a user. Security cameras may be mobile, body-worn, and fixed in location. Location and identity indicia utilize a 3D location model.
Claims6
A method for operation of an event capture apparatus comprising:
- storing a sequence of skeleton images received from a 3-D video camera captured at substantially one second intervals;
- determining vertical transit of the skeleton when at least one pixel block corresponding to a hand is above the horizon defined by the shoulders of the skeleton while the center of mass of the skeleton is ascending the field of view;
- and
- transmitting an alert to a remote operator of a display apparatus.
A method for operation of a 3D event capture system having a 3D model store, an identity indicia store, and a 3D mobile camera with location sensing, the method comprising:
- at the 3D mobile video camera, transmitting location and orientation indicia to a server:
- transmitting 3D images from 3D video camera to said server;
- at said server, combining 3D model of location enclosure with 3D image from video camera;
- and
- alerting when camera perspective exhibits at least one of roll and pitch exceeding a threshold.
