Abstract
The techniques described herein relate to computerized methods, systems and non-transitory computer-readable media for determining a plurality of regions of interest from an image of a scene for motion detection. The methods can include generating the regions of interest using image segmentation techniques and receiving user selection to designate one or more regions as motion detection zones. The methods can also automatically recommend motion detection zones. The methods can include subsequently capturing one or more images of a scene and performing motion detection in the one or more images of the scene using the designated motion detection zones.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- acquiring, by a camera, at least a first image of a field of view of the camera;
- determining, by the camera, first pixel data representing a first plurality of pixels of the first image and second pixel data representing a second plurality of pixels of the first image;
- determining, by the camera, that the first plurality of pixels corresponds to a first region within the field of view;
- and
- based at least in part on the first plurality of pixels corresponding to the first region, sending the first pixel data, but not the second pixel data, to a remote computing system for processing to detect one or more first events within the first region of the field of view.
A camera, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums encoded with instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the camera to:
- acquire at least a first image of a field of view of the camera;
- determine first pixel data representing a first plurality of pixels of the first image and second pixel data representing a second plurality of pixels of the first image;
- determine that the first plurality of pixels corresponds to a first region within the field of view;
- and
- based at least in part on the first plurality of pixels corresponding to the first region, send the first pixel data, but not the second pixel data, to a remote computing system for processing to detect one or more first events within the first region of the field of view.
