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 a first data stream from the plurality of data streams generated by a first sensor device mounted at the vehicle;

detecting a feature within the first data stream generated by the first sensor device mounted at the vehicle, the feature comprising an image feature that corresponds with an event type from among a plurality of event types, the event type comprising a set of conditions that correspond with a procedure that comprises an identification of at least a second sensor device from among a plurality of sensor devices mounted at the vehicle, the procedure associated with a traffic sign represented by the image feature;

selecting the second sensor device based on the procedure that corresponds with the event type, in response to the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event type within the first data stream;

accessing a second data stream generated by the second sensor device, the second data stream comprising a set of attributes;

identifying a client device based on the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event; and

presenting a notification that includes an event indicator at the client device based on the set of attributes from the second data stream.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of attributes includes location data, and the presenting the event indicator based on the set of attributes from the second data stream includes:

causing display of the event indicator at a position within a map image based on the location data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second sensor device corresponds with a device identifier, and the identifying the client device includes identifying the client device based on the device identifier associated with the second sensor device.

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 a 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 occurs at a second network node.

8. A method comprising:

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

detecting a feature within the first data stream generated by the first sensor device mounted at the vehicle, the feature comprising an image feature that corresponds with an event type from among a plurality of event types, the event type comprising a set of conditions that correspond with a procedure that comprises an identification of at least a second sensor device from among a plurality of sensor devices mounted at the vehicle, the procedure associated with a traffic sign represented by the image feature;

selecting the second sensor device based on the procedure that corresponds with the event type, in response to the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event type within the first data stream;

accessing a second data stream generated by the second sensor device, the second data stream comprising a set of attributes;

identifying a client device based on the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event; and

presenting a notification that includes an event indicator at the client device based on the set of attributes from the second data stream.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the set of attributes includes location data, and the presenting the event indicator based on the set of attributes from the second data stream includes:

causing display of the event indicator at a position within a map image based on the location data.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second sensor device corresponds with a device identifier, and the identifying the client device includes identifying the client device based on the device identifier associated with the second sensor device.

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 a 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 the plurality of data streams generated by a first sensor device mounted at the vehicle;

detecting a feature within the first data stream generated by the first sensor device mounted at the vehicle, the feature comprising an image feature that corresponds with an event type from among a plurality of event types, the event type comprising a set of conditions that correspond with a procedure that comprises an identification of at least a second sensor device from among a plurality of sensor devices mounted at the vehicle, the procedure associated with a traffic sign represented by the image feature;

selecting the second sensor device based on the procedure that corresponds with the event type, in response to the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event type within the first data stream;

accessing a second data stream generated by the second sensor device, the second data stream comprising a set of attributes;

identifying a client device based on the detecting the feature that corresponds with the event; and

presenting a notification that includes an event indicator at the client device based on the set of attributes from the second data stream.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the set of attributes includes location data, and the presenting the event indicator based on the set of attributes from the second data stream includes:

causing display of the event indicator at a position within a map image based on the location data.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the second sensor device corresponds with a device identifier, and the identifying the client device includes identifying the client device based on the device identifier associated with the second sensor device.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the presenting the event indicator that corresponds with the event includes operations further comprising:
