Abstract
An apparatus includes a video capture device and a processor. The video capture device may be mounted at a low position. The video capture device may be configured to generate a plurality of video frames that capture a field of view upward from the low position. The processor may be configured to perform video operations to generate dewarped frames from the video frames and detect objects in the dewarped frames, extract data about the objects based on characteristics of the objects determined using said video operations, perform path planning in response the extracted data and generate a video stream based on the dewarped frames. The video operations may generate the dewarped frames to correct a distortion effect caused by capturing the video frames from the low position. The path planning may be used to move the apparatus to a new location. The apparatus may be capable of autonomous movement.
