Systems and methods for automated cloud-based analytics for surveillance systems with unmanned aerial devices
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for cloud-based surveillance for a target surveillance area are disclosed. At least two mobile input capture devices (ICDs) are communicatively connected to a cloud-based analytics platform via a data communication device. At least one user device can access to the cloud-based analytics platform. The cloud-based analytics platform automatically analyzes received 2-Dimensional (2D) video and/or image inputs for generating 3-Dimensional (3D) surveillance data and providing 3D display for a target surveillance area. In one embodiment, the at least two mobile ICDs are Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
1. A cloud-based surveillance system for a target surveillance area, comprising:

wherein the at least two mobile ICDs are communicatively connected to the cloud-based analytics platform via the data communication device.
wherein the at least two mobile ICDs have visual sensors and are operable to capture and transmit visual input data to the cloud-based analytics platform;
wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is operable to:
control formation of the at least two mobile ICDs in the target surveillance area;
receive the visual input data from the at least two mobile ICDs;
generate 3-Dimensional (3D) visual representation based on visual input data captured from the at least two mobile ICDs;
perform advanced analytics based on the visual input data and/or the generated 3D visual representation;
wherein the at least one user device is operable to communicate with the cloud-based analytics platform and display the 3D visual representation for the target surveillance area via the user interface.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two mobile ICDs are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the formation is the order and/or shape the at least two mobile ICDs form.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two mobile ICDs are operable to communicate with each other for coordination.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two mobile ICDs are operable to determine their global positioning satellite (GPS) locations.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two mobile ICDs are operable to stamp time and geolocation information to the visual input data.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the target surveillance area has genofence, wherein the at least two mobile ICDs are within the geofence of the target surveillance area.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the visual input data comprises video data, wherein the video data is discontinuous.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is operable to authenticate, tag, combine, group, and edit the received visual input data.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is further operable to provide data storage, wherein a time period of storage is selectable on the cloud-based analytics platform.
11. A method of cloud-based surveillance for a target surveillance area, comprising:
communicatively connecting at least two mobile input capture devices (ICDs) to a cloud-based analytics platform via a data communication device; wherein the at least two mobile ICDs have visual sensors;
the cloud-based analytics platform setting up the formation of the at least two mobile ICDs in the target surveillance area;
the at least two mobile ICDs capturing and transmitting visual input data to the cloud-based analytics platform;
the cloud-based analytics platform generating 3-Dimensional (3D) visual representation based on visual input data captured from the at least two mobile ICDs;
the cloud-based analytics platform performing advanced analytics based on the visual input data and/or the generated 3D visual representation;
at least one user device communicating with the cloud-based analytics platform and displaying the 3D visual representation for the target surveillance area via the user interface.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least two mobile ICDs are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the formation is the order and/or shape the at least two mobile ICDs form.
14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising the at least two mobile ICDs communicating with each other for coordination.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising the at least two mobile ICDs determining their global positioning satellite (GPS) locations.
16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising the at least two mobile ICDs stamping time and geolocation information to the visual input data.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the target surveillance area has genofence, wherein the at least two mobile ICDs are within the geofence of the target surveillance area.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the visual input data comprises video data, wherein the video data is discontinuous.
19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising the cloud-based analytics platform tagging, combining, grouping, and editing the received visual input data.
20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising the cloud-based analytics platform providing data storage, wherein a time period of storage is selectable on the cloud-based analytics platform.
