that is captured by one or more images (e.g., by a video or several pictures of the scene). The method analyzes a captured image to identify a unique predefined displayed content (e.g., a first pattern or a sub-pattern of the first pattern) in a first region of the image. When the predefined displayed content is identified in the captured image, the method analyzes a second region of the image that is associated with the first region, in order to determine whether a set of one or more objects is within the second region. The second region is the same as the first region in some embodiments, while in other embodiments it is a bounding region (e.g., bounding shape) that encompasses the first region and a third region around the first region. In yet other embodiments, the second region has another association with the first region. When the method determines that an object is within the second region, the method generates and sends a notification (e.g., an email, a text message, an in-app message, etc.) regarding the detection of the object in the image.
