Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatus to monitor environments are disclosed. An example method includes analyzing a plurality of three-dimensional data points having respective depth values representative of distances between a sensor and respective objects of an environment; when a first set of the three-dimensional data points has a first depth value less than a threshold, executing a first type of recognition analysis on a first area of the environment corresponding to the first set of the three-dimensional data points; and when a second set of the three-dimensional data points has a second depth value greater than the threshold, executing a second type of recognition analysis different than the first type of recognition analysis on a second area of the environment corresponding to the second set of the three-dimensional data points.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A tangible machine readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least: execute, in connection with a first frame of data, a three-dimensional recognition analysis on an object detected in an environment within a threshold distance from a sensor; store a location of the object; and in response to detecting that the first object has moved outside the threshold distance from the sensor in connection with a secon…
