Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques to count objects in an area. The techniques include operations comprising: receiving, from a first sensor, data that identifies a location of a first object in an area at a given point in time; receiving, from a second sensor, data that identifies a location of a second object in the area at the given point in time; and aggregating the data from the first sensor and the data from the second sensor to compute a count value indicating how many objects are present in the area at the given point in time.
Claims24
A system for detecting an object using multiple sensors, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory for storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first sensor, data that identifies a location of a first object in an area at a given point in time;
- receiving, from a second sensor, data that identifies a location of a second object in the area at the given point in time, the second object being within a field of view of the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the first sensor refrains from transmitting data that identifies the second object in response to determining that the second object is within the field of view of the second sensor;
- and
- aggregating the data from the first sensor and the data from the second sensor to compute a count value indicating how many objects are present in the area at the given point in time.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first sensor, data that identifies a location of a first object in an area at a given point in time;
- receiving, from a second sensor, data that identifies a location of a second object in the area at the given point in time, the second object being within a field of view of the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the first sensor refrains from transmitting data that identifies the second object in response to determining that the second object is within the field of view of the second sensor;
- and
- aggregating the data from the first sensor and the data from the second sensor to compute a count value indicating how many objects are present in the area at the given point in time.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving, from a first sensor, data that identifies a location of a first object in an area at a given point in time;
- means for receiving, from a second sensor, data that identifies a location of a second object in the area at the given point in time, the second object being within a field of view of the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the first sensor refrains from transmitting data that identifies the second object in response to determining that the second object is within the field of view of the second sensor;
- and
- means for aggregating the data from the first sensor and the data from the second sensor to compute a count value indicating how many objects are present in the area at the given point in time.
