  • Method and system for detecting occupancy in a space
    Patent number: 10205891
    Abstract: A method and system for determining occupancy in a space, include determining presence of an occupant in a space based a signal from a PIR sensor monitoring the space and on analysis of an image of the space. Assigning different weights to the PIR signal and image analysis enables controlling a device in the space differently.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING LOCATION OF AN OCCUPANT
    Publication number: 20170286761
    Abstract: A method and system for determining a location of a sitting occupant in a space include detecting a sitting occupant in an image of the space and determining a location of the sitting occupant on a floor of the space in the image, based on a shape of the sitting occupant in the image. The location on the floor in the image can be transformed to a real world location.

  • System and method for computer vision based tracking of an object
    Patent number: 9754161
    Abstract: Determining occupancy in a space by detecting a suspected object in a first image of a space, creating a bounding shape around the suspected object in the image, the bounding shape being aligned towards the center of the image, tracking a selected feature from within the bonding shape, determining occupancy in the space based on the tracking, and controlling a device based on the occupancy determination.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPUTER VISION BASED TRACKING OF AN OBJECT
    Publication number: 20170091542
    Abstract: Determining occupancy in a space by detecting a suspected object in a first image of a space, creating a bounding shape around the suspected object in the image, the bounding shape being aligned towards the center of the image, tracking a selected feature from within the bonding shape, determining occupancy in the space based on the tracking, and controlling a device based on the occupancy determination.

  • Method and system for determining location of an occupant
    Patent number: 9576205
    Abstract: A method and system for determining a location of an occupant in a space include detecting a shape of an occupant in an image of a space; determining a location of the occupant on a floor of the space in the image, based on the shape of the occupant; and transforming the location on the floor in the image to a location of the occupant on the floor in the space.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMBINING DATA FROM MULTIPLE DEPTH CAMERAS
    Publication number: 20140104394
    Abstract: A system and method for combining depth images taken from multiple depth cameras into a composite image are described. The volume of space captured in the composite image is configurable in size and shape depending upon the number of depth cameras used and the shape of the cameras' imaging sensors. Tracking of movements of a person or object can be performed on the composite image. The tracked movements can subsequently be used by an interactive application.
