Abstract: Image analytics systems, methods, and computer program products to autonomously analyze an image to identify and detect features in the image, such as the horizon, and/or identify and detect objects of interest therein, such as, smoke or possible smoke. The image is captured, for example, by RGB cameras, and depicts a scene to be analyzed. The intelligent image analytic system is configured to provide alerts and/or other information to one or more concerned parties and/or computing systems to take an appropriate response.
