Abstract:
Described in detail herein are systems and methods for verification of a report of absence of a physical object from an assigned region. A mobile device may capture an image of a vacant region and transmit the image and GPS coordinates of the location of the vacant region to a video analysis module within a computing device. The video analysis module may perform video analytics on the image and verify the location of the vacant region. The video analysis module may verify the physical object is absent from the vacant region. In response to verification that the physical object is absent from the vacant region the video analysis module may trigger an event.
