Abstract
A method of allocating bandwidth in a system including first and second data collectors in communication with a supervising node over a shared communications resource, the method including: transmitting sensor data from the first and second data collectors to the supervising node over the shared communications resource; performing computer object detection on sensor data collected by the first and second data collectors; responsive to the computer object detection identifying an object of interest within the sensor data collected by the first data collector, increasing the bandwidth allocated to the first data collector on the shared communications resource; and transmitting further sensor data from the first data collector to the supervising node utilizing the increased bandwidth allocation.

A method of allocating bandwidth in a system comprising first and second data collectors in communication with a supervising node over a shared communications resource, the method comprising:
- transmitting sensor data from the first and second data collectors to the supervising node over the shared communications resource;
- performing computer object detection on sensor data collected by the first and second data collectors;
- responsive to the computer object detection identifying an object of interest within the sensor data collected by the first data collector, increasing the bandwidth allocated to the first data collector on the shared communications resource;
- and
- transmitting further sensor data from the first data collector to the supervising node utilizing the increased bandwidth allocation.
An apparatus comprising first and second data collectors in communication with a supervising node over a shared communications resource, the apparatus being configured to:
- transmit sensor data from the first and second data collectors to the supervising node over the shared communications resource;
- perform computer object detection on sensor data collected by the first and second data collectors;
- responsive to the computer object detection identifying an object of interest within the sensor data collected by the first data collector, increase the bandwidth allocated to the first data collector on the shared communications resource;
- and
- transmit further sensor data from the first data collector to the supervising node utilizing the increased bandwidth allocation.
A computer program comprising a set of instructions, which, when executed by computerized apparatus, cause the computerized apparatus to perform a method of allocating bandwidth, the method comprising:
- transmitting sensor data from the first and second data collectors to the supervising node over a shared communications resource;
- performing computer object detection on sensor data collected by first and second data collectors;
- responsive to the computer object detection identifying an object of interest within the sensor data collected by the first data collector, increasing the bandwidth allocated to the first data collector on the shared communications resource;
- and
- transmitting further sensor data from the first data collector to a supervising node utilizing the increased bandwidth allocation.
