Abstract
A method for detecting a presence of an object in an image comprising a pool region includes receiving an infrared image from an image sensor; identifying an area of substantially homogeneous temperature and having an outer perimeter; defining the pool region in the infrared image in response to the identified area of substantially homogeneous temperature and having an outer perimeter; identifying an object in the infrared image; and triggering an alarm in response to a predefined change in position of the object with respect to the pool region.
