Abstract:
A computer implemented method, computer program product and computer system for sensor classification. The computer system receives from an unclassified sensor node a series of measurement data. The unclassified sensor node is unknown in an infrastructure knowledge base. The computer system logs the series of measurement data in a first database. A test pattern is extracted from the series of measurement data. The computer system determines a similarity measure of for the test pattern and a predefined reference pattern stored in a second database. The reference pattern classifies a capability type. The similarity measure is associated with a confidence value. The computer system suggests the capability type for classifying the unclassified sensor node if the confidence value is above a predefined threshold value and initiates an update of the infrastructure knowledge base to register the previously unclassified sensor node with the suggested capability type if the suggested capability type is accepted.
Abstract:
In queues, persons - or objects (120) in general - move inside an area (110) to a target (112), such as to a counter. The queue has movement characteristics in terms of speed, waiting times and queue form. A computer-implemented approach obtains the characteristics by receiving a sequence (140) of image frames (141, 142, 143, 49) that represent the surveillance area (110); calculating flow vectors that indicate an optical displacement for the sequence (140) of image frames (141/142, 142/143); extending one of the flow vectors as lead vector in extension directions; determining intermediate vectors by using flow vectors along the extension directions; and selecting one the intermediate vectors as the new lead vector. The steps are repeated to concatenate the lead vectors to the movement characteristics (190).
