Abstract
Directing a camera vehicle includes detecting dynamic objects within a property perimeter that is monitored by the camera vehicle, estimating positions and motion vectors of the objects, and directing the camera vehicle to observe the objects in response to there being uncertainty in estimating the positions and motion vectors of the objects. Motion sensors disposed in the property perimeter may be used to detect dynamic objects. The uncertainty may correspond to co-axial object movement when at least one of the objects moves radially with respect to at least one of the sensors. The uncertainty may correspond to a sudden change of object direction, a sudden acceleration of an object, and/or joint movements of multiple objects. Uncertainty areas may correspond to portions within the property perimeter where the uncertainty in estimating the positions and motion vectors of the objects is detected. The camera vehicle may be an unmanned aerial vehicle.
