INDOOR INTRUSION DETECTION

A computer-implemented method, a system, and a computer program product for detecting objects are disclosed. The method can include receiving, by a computer communicatively connected to a plurality of anemometers positioned throughout the space, first sensor data from the plurality of anemometers, creating a baseline profile of airflow in the space based on the first sensor data, and receiving second sensor data from the plurality of anemometers at a different time than the first sensor data. The method can include comparing the second sensor data with the first sensor data to determine first different data, rendering, in response to determining that the second sensor data is different from the first sensor data, a representation of the object using the first different data and first location data related to the first different data, and calculating a vector associated with the object using the first different data and the first location data.
