Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for generating location information associated with a video. For instance, an electronic device may use a radar sensor to generate radar data. The electronic device may then analyze the radar data in order to determine a location associated with an object. In some instances, the location may correspond to at least a first coordinate along a first axis and a second coordinate along a second axis. The electronic device may also generate image data using the imaging device. Additionally, the electronic device may analyze the image data in order to determine that the image data represents an object and/or a type of object. The electronic device may then generate location data representing an identifier for the object and the location. Next, the electronic device may send the image data and the location data to one or more computing devices.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for displaying location information of an object along with a video depicting the object. For instance, an electronic device may use a radar sensor to generate radar data representing the locations and an imaging device to generate image data representing the video. A user device may then use the image data to display the video. Additionally, the user device may display a map of a geographic area that includes the electronic device over a portion of the video. The electronic device then uses the radar data to determine positions on the map that corresponds to the locations. Using the positions, the electronic device displays interface elements representing the locations of the object. In some circumstances, the interface elements include different characteristics, such as colors, indicating a direction of motion of the object.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for generating location information of an object along with a video that depicts the object. For instance, an electronic device may include a radar sensor that determines locations of the object. The electronic device may then store radar data representing at least the locations. Additionally, based on detecting an event, the electronic device may begin to generate image data representing the video. The electronic device may then analyze the radar data and the image data in order to determine that the object detected by the radar sensor includes the same object represented by the image data. As such, the electronic device may send the radar data and the image data to one or more computing devices. This way, a user device is able to display both the video depicting the object as well as the location information representing the motion of the object.
