Abstract
Data from one or more sensors are used to detect an event corresponding to an activity by a person. The detection of the event is then used to loosely model the event to produce an initial event definition. The initial event definition is used in searching historical sensor data to detect other prospective occurrences of the event. Based on the detection of these additional occurrences, the event definition is refined to produce a more accurate event definition. The resulting refined event definition can then be used with current sensor data to accurately detect when the activity is being carried out. For example, the activity may be the use of a video imaging device for cheating, and a casino can use the refined event definition with video imaging to detect when people are using the video imaging device for such purposes.
