Abstract
A method for processing arrival or removal of packages within the field of view of a video camera includes providing a database for recording packages placed in the field of view. Based on real-time analysis of successive image frames in the camera, a human person's entry and exit from the field of view of the camera is also detected. Delivery or removal of objects is recorded in the database. In one embodiment, the method also determines whether or not a newly arrived package is placed alongside or on top of an existing package.
