Systems and methods for automated cloud-based analytics and 3-dimensional (3D) playback for surveillance systems
Systems and methods for cloud-computing network with distributed input devices and a cloud-based analytics platform for automatically analyzing 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.
1. A cloud-based surveillance system for a target surveillance area, comprising:
at least two input capture devices (ICDs) and a cloud-based analytics platform;
wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is constructed and configured in network-based communication with the at least two ICDs;
wherein each of the at least two ICDs has at least one visual sensor and is operable to capture and transmit input data to the cloud-based analytics platform;
wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is operable to:
generate 3-Dimensional (3D) surveillance data based on the input data from the at least two ICDs;
provide 3D playback for the target surveillance area for a predetermined period of time.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two ICDs are operable for wireless cross-communication with each other independent of the cloud-based analytics platform, wherein the cross-communication of the at least two ICDs includes data exchange, and wherein the data exchange includes information about an environment of the target surveillance area, settings, inputs, and combinations thereof.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two ICDs are selected from the group consisting of security cameras, smart phones, tablets, and wearable input capture devices.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input data are selected from live streaming video, real-time images and/or audio, previously recorded video, previously captured images and/or audio, and combinations thereof.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cloud-based analytics platform provides data storage, wherein a period of time for storage is selectable on the cloud-based analytics platform.
6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one user device communicatively connected to the cloud-based analytics platform, and wherein the at least one user device is operable to display the 3D playback.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one user device is selected from the group consisting of smart phones, tablets, personal computers, laptops, and head-mounted displays.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined period of time for 3D playback is set on the cloud-based analytics platform.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is further operable to provide analytics based on the input data and/or the generated 3D surveillance data.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the 3D playback is interactive.
11. A method of cloud-based surveillance for a target surveillance area, comprising:
communicatively connecting at least two input capture devices (ICDs) to a cloud-based analytics platform; wherein each of the at least two ICDs has at least one visual sensor;
the at least two ICDs capturing and transmitting input data to the cloud-based analytics platform;
the cloud-based analytics platform generating 3-Dimensional (3D) surveillance data based on the input data from the at least two ICDs; and
the cloud-based analytics platform providing 3D playback for the target surveillance area for a predetermined period of time.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising the at least two ICDs cross-communicating with each other independent of the cloud-based analytics platform, wherein the cross-communication of the at least two ICDs includes data exchange, and wherein the data exchange includes information about an environment of the target surveillance area, settings, inputs, and combinations thereof.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least two ICDs are selected from the group consisting of security cameras, smart phones, tablets, and wearable input capture devices.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the input data are selected from live streaming video, real-time images and/or audio, previously recorded video, previously captured images and/or audio, and combinations thereof.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the cloud-based analytics platform provides data storage, wherein a period of time for storage is selectable on the cloud-based analytics platform.
16. The system of claim 11 , further comprising communicatively connecting at least one user device to the cloud-based analytics platform and the at least one user device displaying the 3D playback.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the at least one user device is selected from the group consisting of smart phones, tablets, personal computers, laptops, and head-mounted displays.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined period of time for 3D playback is set on the cloud-based analytics platform.
19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising performing analytics based on the input data and/or the generated 3D surveillance data.
20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the 3D playback is interactive.
