Abstract
A system and method for premises theft prevention and detection. A system comprises a media capture device, a target area and target object at a workstation, and operably configured code in non-transitory computer readably storage media. A system recognizes a theft or misappropriation and can notify a business owner or police. The system is powered by machine-learning algorithms that progressively improve accuracy and precision in theft detection.
Claims12
A system for premises theft prevention and detection, the system comprising
- a. At least one media capture device capable of capturing multimedia from individual activity at a workstation;
- b. A target object referenced in a target area at a workstation;
- c. A hardware architecture comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising computer readable program code for processing and buffering video, adjusting video, and producing confidence estimates based on parameters to identify an instance of theft or misappropriation;
- and
- d. operably configured code for a suspicious gesture recognition algorithm or for a hybrid sensor classification algorithm for detecting an instance of a theft or misappropriation.
The sensor classification algorithm of claim 8 whereby multimedia content is scanned, buffered, and a confidence estimate is produced according to gesture parameters.
A method for implementing a system for theft prevention and detection, the method steps comprising
- a. Mounting a media capture device to have a focus on a workstation with a target area having a target object;
- b. Capturing real-time video of individual gestures at the workstation;
- c. Processing real-time video with operably configured software having either a gesture recognition algorithm or a hybrid sensor classification algorithm;
- d. identifying of a theft or misappropriation instance;
- and
- e. Notifying a user.
A hardware architecture for a premises theft prevention and detection system, the system comprising:
- A processor coupled to at least one server coupled to at least one non-transitory device, the non-transitory memory device containing operably configured code for either a gesture recognition algorithm or a hybrid sensor classification algorithm that causes the architecture to receive and scan multimedia from a multimedia capture device, produce at least one confidence estimate, and detect suspicious gestures at a target area at a workstation, executing alerts to a user.
