Patent attributes
A system including at least one aerially mounted camera and at least one processor performs a method for selecting a location to place a virtual tripwire onto grid points of a geocoordinate grid. The processor(s) directs a camera to capture a series of images within the camera's field of view. The processor(s) identifies one or more objects of interest within the images and determines movements of the objects through the series of images. The processor(s) identifies directions of travel of the objects of interest. The processor(s) further determines a vector of direction of travel for each object of interest on the grid. The processor(s) then determines at least one candidate location for placement of the virtual tripwire and automatically selects a location for placement of the virtual tripwire based at least on the vector of direction of travel for an object of interest.
