  • Patent number: 11270128
    Abstract: A sensor fixed atop a structure. The sensor including an image-capturing device configured to collect image data, and an electronic processing device. The electronic processing device configured to receive, via the image-capturing device, the image data, determine a wobble state of the image data, perform a first timeout for a first predetermined time period when the wobble state is approximately equal to a wobble state level, and increment the first timeout to a second timeout for a second predetermined time period when the wobble state value is approximately equal to the wobble state level following the first timeout.

  • Patent number: 10716190
    Abstract: A sensor fixed atop a structure, The sensor including an image-capturing device configured to collect image data and an electronic processing device. The electronic processing device is configured to receive, via the image-capturing device, the image data, determine a wobble state value of the image data, filter the image data when the wobble state value is approximately equal to a first wobble state threshold, perform a first timeout for a first predetermined time period when the wobble state value is approximately equal to a second wobble state threshold, and increment the first timeout to a second timeout for a second predetermined time period when the wobble state value is approximately equal to the second wobble state threshold following the first timeout.

  • Patent number: 10477647
    Abstract: An image-based motion-occupancy sensor uses digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to perform algorithms on image data to enable an energy-delivery system, such as a lighting control system, to learn various environmental conditions that would conventionally result in false motion-occupancy detection. Motion of Interest (MOI) is determined by iteratively performing these algorithms and effectively filtering image data associated with non-MOI and making control decisions based only on relevant MOI.
