Abstract: Aspects of the example implementations are directed to methods, systems and apparatuses associated with processing of images associated with objects in a view of one or more cameras co-located in a space. The example implementations may be directed to estimating a physical distance between a first person and a second person (e.g., customers) in a camera view; detecting an interest in a section (e.g., shelf) by the first person or second person; estimating relative distances between views of the one or more cameras, to determine which camera views are overlapping and non-overlapping; and detecting static objects (e.g., false positives) that may appear similar to a customer, such as posters of people, mannequins, or the like, and removing the static objects from the processed images.

Abstract: For data flow traffic in an IoTSP system, for example, a gateway is provided with data flow rules, one or more of the data flow rules being a receiving rule defining at least what incoming data will be accepted and one or more of the data flow rules being a publishing rule defining at least what data to send to one or more other computing devices acting as gateways in the system. The one or more receiving rules are applied to incoming data, and the one or more publishing rules to stored and processed data to cause sending one or more pieces of the data in response to a condition in a publishing rule being fulfilled.
