A computer vision processor of a camera generates hyperzooms for persons or vehicles from image frames captured by the camera. The hyperzooms include a first hyperzoom associated with the persons or vehicles. The computer vision processor tracks traffic patterns of the persons or vehicles while obviating network usage by the camera by predicting positions of the persons or vehicles using a Kalman Filter from the first hyperzoom. The persons or vehicles are detected in the second hyperzoom. The positions of the persons or vehicles are updated based on detecting the persons or vehicles in the second hyperzoom. The first hyperzoom is removed from the camera. Tracks of the persons or vehicles are generated based on the updated positions. The second hyperzoom is removed from the camera. Track metadata is generated from the tracks for storing in a key-value database located on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the camera.

People and vehicle analytics on the edge

A computer vision processor of a camera extracts attributes of persons or vehicles from hyperzooms generated from image frames. The hyperzooms represent traffic patterns. The extracting is performed using a feature extractor of an on-camera convolutional neural network (CNN) including an inverted residual structure. The attributes include at least colors of clothing of the persons or colors of the vehicles. Mobile semantic segmentation models of the CNN are generated using the hyperzooms and the attributes. Attribute analytics are generated by executing the mobile semantic segmentation models while obviating network usage by the camera. The attribute analytics are stored in a key-value database located on a memory card of the camera. A query is received from the server instance specifying one or more of the attributes. The attribute analytics are filtered using the one or more of the attributes to obtain a portion of the traffic patterns.
