Calibration of various sensors may be difficult without specialized software to process intrinsic and extrinsic information about the sensors. Certain types of input files, such as image files, may also lack certain information, like depth information, to effectively translate regions of interest between images taken from a different perspective. Landmarks can be used to establish points for associating regions of interest between images taken from a different perspective and provided as an overlay to verify sensor calibration.

Sensor calibration for space translation

The present disclosure provides various approaches for smart area monitoring suitable for parking garages or other areas. These approaches may include ROI-based occupancy detection to determine whether particular parking spots are occupied by leveraging image data from image sensors, such as cameras. These approaches may also include multi-sensor object tracking using multiple sensors that are distributed across an area that leverage both image data and spatial information regarding the area, to provide precise object tracking across the sensors. Further approaches relate to various architectures and configurations for smart area monitoring systems, as well as visualization and processing techniques. For example, as opposed to presenting video of an area captured by cameras, 3D renderings may be generated and played from metadata extracted from sensors around the area.

Scenario recreation through object detection and 3D visualization in a multi-sensor environment

In various examples, cloud computing systems may store frames of video streams and metadata generated from the frames in separate data stores, with each type of data being indexed using shared timestamps. Thus, the frames of a video stream may be stored and/or processed and corresponding metadata of the frames may be stored and/or generated across any number of devices of the cloud computing system (e.g., edge and/or core devices) while being linked by the timestamps. A client device may provide a request or query to dynamically annotate the video stream using a particular subset of the metadata. In processing the request or query, the timestamps may be used to retrieve video data representing frames of the video stream and metadata extracted from those frames across the data stores. The retrieved metadata and video data may be used to annotate the frames for display on the client device.

Overlaying metadata on video streams on demand for intelligent video analysis

In various examples, a set of object trajectories may be determined based at least in part on sensor data representative of a field of view of a sensor. The set of object trajectories may be applied to a long short-term memory (LSTM) network to train the LSTM network. An expected object trajectory for an object in the field of view of the sensor may be computed by the LSTM network based at least in part an observed object trajectory. By comparing the observed object trajectory to the expected object trajectory, a determination may be made that the observed object trajectory is indicative of an anomaly.

Smart area monitoring with artificial intelligence

In one embodiment, a computing device scans a plurality of available data sources associated with a profiled identity for an individual, and categorizes instances of the data sources according to recognized terms within the data sources. Once determining whether the profiled identity contributed positively to each categorized instance, categorized instances that have a positive contribution by the profiled identity may be clustered into clusters. The computing device may then rank the clusters based on size of the clusters and frequency of recognized terms within the clusters, and can then infer an expertise of the profiled identity based on one or more best-ranked clusters. The inferred expertise of the profiled identity may then be stored.

A GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is operated in an indoor mode. An increase in strength of a cellular signal is detected at the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device. Responsive at least to the increase in cellular signal strength, the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is transitioned to an outdoor testing mode. Detecting is carried out to determine whether movement of the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device occurs during the outdoor testing mode. If so, the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is transitioned to an outdoor mode.
