Drowning Detection Enhanced by Swimmer Analytics

A system for drowning detection based on swimmer analytics, the system comprising:

• a one or more cameras observing a water area;
• a memory, wherein said memory retaining a plurality of alternative computer program products implementing drowning detection, wherein said memory retaining a mapping between swimmer descriptors and the plurality of alternative computer program products;
• a processor that is configured to:
• analyze each swimmer in the water area, based on visual input from the one or more cameras, to determine a descriptor of the each swimmer;
• for each swimmer, select a computer program product from the plurality of alternative computer program products based on the descriptor of the each swimmer and the mapping;
• invoke, for each swimmer, the computer program product selected for the each swimmer;
• whereby the system is tuned to utilize different drowning detection for different swimmers, whereby performance of the system is enhanced with respect to utilization of uniform drowning detection for all swimmers.

A computerized apparatus having a processor, the processor being adapted to perform the steps of:

• obtaining a visual input from one or more cameras observing a water area;
• analyzing each swimmer in the water area based on the visual input from the one or more cameras, wherein said analyzing comprises determining a risk level of each swimmer, whereby a first risk level is determined for a first swimmer and a second risk level is determined for a second swimmer, wherein the first risk level is higher than the second risk level;
• and
• automatically detecting potential drowning events, for each swimmer, wherein said automatically detecting is performed by utilizing computational resources in a non-uniform manner, wherein said automatically detecting comprises applying increased computational resources with respect to the first swimmer, and applying reduced computational resources with respect to the second swimmer, wherein the increased computational resources are higher than the reduced computational resources.
