Systems, methods, and computer readable media for performing task assignment, completion, and management within a crowdsourced surveillance platform. A remote server may identify targets for image capture and may assign capture tasks to users based on travel plans of the user. Users may be assigned task to capture image of target locations lying along a travel path. The remote server may aggregate data related to the captured images and use it to update a map and log changes to the target location over time.

A method for detecting object paths in a workplace, at a sensor block, includes responsive to detecting absence of motion, capturing an initial sequence of frames at a baseline frame rate at a camera and for each frame in the initial sequence of frames: detecting an initial constellation of objects; and transmitting a container representing the initial constellation of objects to a computer system. The method further includes, responsive to detecting motion: capturing a frame at the baseline frame rate at the camera; detecting a first constellation of objects, including a set of humans, in the frame; calculating a quantity of humans; transitioning the camera to a first frame rate; capturing a second sequence of frames at the first frame rate; detecting a second constellation of objects in the second sequence of frames; deriving a set of object paths; and transmitting the set of object paths to the computer system.

A rear-view mirror and modular monitor system and method include an interior mirror that embeds a modular monitor behind see-through mirror glass. In some embodiments, the system includes multiple cameras, some in the vehicle, bus and/or truck, as well as some cameras outside the vehicle, bus and/or truck, advantageously providing the driver an opportunity to view what is happening, for example, in the back rows of the bus and/or cabin, while also using the mirror to look at objects in the bus and/or cabin that are visible using the mirror. The rear-view mirror and modular monitor system is configured to be easily assembled and/or disassembled when necessary for maintenance and/or to replace parts.

A multisensory system provides both temporal and spatial coverage capacities for auto-detection of bird collision events. The system includes an apparatus having a first circuitry to capture and store a series of images or video of a blade of a wind turbine; and a memory to store the images from the first circuitry. The apparatus also has one or more sensors to continuously sense vibration of the blade or for acoustic recordings; and a second circuitry to analyze the sensor data stream and/or the series of images or video to identify a cause of the vibration and to trigger the camera(s). A communication interface transmits data from the second circuitry to another device, wherein the second circuitry applies artificial intelligence or machine learning to control sensitivity of the one or more sensors.

A thermostat and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, multiple wireless transceivers are located within a housing, which also interconnectively includes a processor, memory, and a camera. To improve convenience, the thermostat may establish a pairing with a proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device having a display. Virtual remote control functionality for various amenities may then be provided. To improve safety, the thermostat may be incorporated into a geolocation and safety network and, under certain conditions, the thermostat may provide a video feed.

A laser-strike detection system includes an imaging sensor mounted on a platform, and a computing device. The imaging sensor outputs image frames that are each representative of a portion of the platform at a different time, during which a laser may be striking the platform. The computing device receives the image frames, and computes a delay map that indicates time-of-arrival delays of the laser beam at points on the portion of the platform. The computing device converts the delay map to a path-length variation map by multiplying the delay map by the propagation speed of light. The computing device fits a plane to the path-length variation map constrained by a topological model of the platform. The computing device computes angular deflections in x- and y-directions based upon the fit, which angular deflections define a direction from the platform to an emitter of the laser beam.

A touchless smart storage box is presented for storage of items like documents, jewellery, data discs, currency, handgun, firearms, etc. The box conducts the authentication for access thereto based on facial information of the user. Once the facial information matches, the contents of the box are made visible on the screen associated with the box by means of an internal camera. A motor may be used to open and close the door without any physical interaction. Multiple sensors may be embedded onto the smart box to indicate its status of open close and location. Due to tempering action the camera may get triggered to capture the scenario and transmit the same to mobile and web application. Communication protocol enables the box to be operated remotely for all interactions.

One variation of a method for deploying fixed cameras within a store includes: dispatching a robotic system to autonomously navigate along a set of inventory structures in the store and generate a spatial map of the store during a scan cycle; generating an accessibility heatmap representing accessibility of regions of the store to the robotic system based on the spatial map; generating a product value heatmap for the store based on locations and sales volumes of products in the store; accessing a number of fixed cameras allocated to the store; generating a composite heatmap for the store based on the accessibility heatmap and the product value heatmap; identifying a subset of inventory structures occupying a set of locations within the store corresponding to critical amplitudes in the composite heatmap; and generating a prompt to install the number of fixed cameras facing the subset of inventory structures in the store.

An information processing apparatus, a control method, and a program which improve usability of techniques for generating a travel plan for a vehicle are provided. The information processing apparatus such as a server includes a controller. In a case in which information on a departure place is accepted, the controller selects at least one destination from one or more destination candidates and generates a travel plan for a vehicle from the departure place to the at least one destination.
