Abstract

Example embodiments described herein therefore relate to an event detection system that comprises a plurality of sensor devices, to perform operations that include: generating sensor data at the plurality of sensor devices; accessing the sensor data generated by the plurality of sensor devices; detecting an event, or precursor to an event, based on the sensor data, wherein the detected event corresponds to an event category; accessing an object model associated with the event type in response to detecting the event, wherein the object model defines a procedure to be applied by the event detection system to the sensor data; and streaming at least a portion of a plurality of data streams generated by the plurality of sensor devices to a server system based on the procedure, wherein the server system may perform further analysis or visualization based on the portion of the plurality of data streams.

Claims (53)

1. A system comprising:

at least one sensor device mounted at a vehicle to generate sensor data comprising a plurality of data streams;

a memory; and

one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:

accessing, by the one or more processors, a first data stream from the plurality of data streams generated by the at least one sensor device mounted at the vehicle;

detecting, by the one or more processors, a feature of a traffic indicator that corresponds with an event type within the first data stream generated by the at least one sensor device mounted at the vehicle, the feature indicating an expected behavior;

accessing, by the one or more processors, a second data stream from among the plurality of data streams, based on the event type responsive to the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event type within the first data stream;

detecting, by the one or more processors, an event based on the second data stream, the event including location data and a set of event attributes that indicate a deviation from the expected behavior;

generating an event indicator based on the set of event attributes of the event; and

presenting the event indicator that corresponds with the event at a position within a map image that indicate a location of the deviation from the expected behavior, the position based on the location data.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor performs operations further comprising:

causing display of a notification at a client device in response to the detecting the event based on the second data stream.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one sensor device corresponds with a device identifier, and the notification includes a display of the device identifier of the at least one sensor device and the set of event attributes of the event.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the presenting the event indicator that corresponds with the event includes operations further comprising:

causing display of a graphical user interface that includes a presentation of the map image at a client device.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first data stream comprises a video stream, and the second data stream comprises an inertial data stream.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feature includes a signal, the first data stream includes a video data stream, and the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event type within the first data stream includes:

receiving the signal via the video data stream; and

activating the second data stream responsive to the receiving the signal via the video data stream.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the accessing the first data stream from the plurality of data streams occurs at a first network node, and wherein the accessing the second data stream from the plurality of data streams occurs at a second network node.

8. A method comprising:

accessing a first data stream from among a plurality of data streams generated by at least one sensor device mounted at a vehicle;

detecting, by the one or more processors, a feature of a traffic indicator that corresponds with an event type within the first data stream generated by the at least one sensor device mounted at the vehicle, the feature indicating an expected behavior;

accessing, by the one or more processors, a second data stream from among the plurality of data streams, based on the event type responsive to the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event type within the first data stream;

detecting, by the one or more processors, an event based on the second data stream, the event including location data and a set of event attributes that indicate a deviation from the expected behavior;

generating an event indicator based on the set of event attributes of the event; and

presenting the event indicator that corresponds with the event at a position within a map image that indicate a location of the deviation from the expected behavior, the position based on the location data.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor performs operations further comprising:

causing display of a notification at a client device in response to the detecting the event based on the second data stream.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one sensor device corresponds with a device identifier, and the notification includes a display of the device identifier of the at least one sensor device and the set of event attributes of the event.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the presenting the event indicator that corresponds with the event includes:

causing display of a graphical user interface that includes a presentation of the map image at a client device.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first data stream comprises a video stream, and the second data stream comprises an inertial data stream.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the feature includes a signal, the first data stream includes a video data stream, and the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event type within the first data stream includes:

receiving the signal via the video data stream; and

activating the second data stream responsive to the receiving the signal via the video data stream.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the accessing the first data stream from the plurality of data streams occurs at a first network node, and wherein the accessing the second data stream from the plurality of data streams occurs at a second network node.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising instructions that when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

accessing a first data stream from among a plurality of data streams generated by at least one sensor device mounted at a vehicle;

detecting, by the one or more processors, a feature of a traffic indicator that corresponds with an event type within the first data stream generated by the at least one sensor device mounted at the vehicle, the feature indicating an expected behavior;

accessing, by the one or more processors, a second data stream from among the plurality of data streams, based on the event type responsive to the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event type within the first data stream;

detecting, by the one or more processors, an event based on the second data stream, the event including location data and a set of event attributes that indicate a deviation from the expected behavior;

generating an event indicator based on the set of event attributes of the event; and

presenting the event indicator that corresponds with the event at a position within a map image that indicate a location of the deviation from the expected behavior, the position based on the location data.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the machine to perform operations further comprising:

causing display of a notification at a client device in response to the detecting the event based on the second data stream.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the at least one sensor device corresponds with a device identifier, and the notification includes a display of the device identifier of the at least one sensor device and the set of event attributes of the event.
