Abstract
A system having a central station and a plurality of cameras installed various locations. To search for and locate an item of interest, the central station generates and sends an item model to the cameras. When stored in a camera, the item model causes a logic circuit of the camera (e.g., a deep learning accelerator) to use image data, received from an image sensor for storing in a memory device of the camera, as an input to an artificial neural network. The logic circuit performs the matrix computation of the artificial neural network to generate a classification of whether the images are relevant to the item of interest characterized by the item model. If so, the camera transmits the relevant images to the central station for further processing to determine a real time location of the item of interest.
