Determining if an event relates to an unauthorized subject
Present disclosure provides a method for determining if an event relates to an unauthorized subject, the method comprising: determining a likelihood of how the event is similar to at least one of: (i) at least one event of a list of events relating to the unauthorized subject and (ii) at least one of a list of events relating to an authorized subject, each event of the list of events comprising data identifying the unauthorized subject, the determination of likelihood being based on the data identifying the unauthorized subject; and determining the event to relate to the unauthorized subject in response to the determination of the likelihood.
1. A method for determining if an event relates to an unauthorized subject, the method performed by a computer and comprising:
determining a likelihood of how the event is similar to at least one of: (i) at least one event of a list of events relating to the unauthorized subject and (ii) at least one of a list of events relating to an authorized subject, each event of the list of events comprising data identifying the unauthorized subject, the determination of likelihood being based on the data identifying the unauthorized subject;
determining the event to relate to the unauthorized subject in response to the determination of the likelihood;
calculating a matching score of each event of the list of events based on data identifying the unauthorized subject, the matching score referring to a degree of correlation between the data identifying the unauthorized subject and data identifying the authorized subject;
determining if an event of the list of events relating to the unauthorized subject has a matching score lower than a first matching threshold, the first matching threshold referring to a maximum matching score for an event to be determined as being related to the unauthorized subject, the matching score lower than the first matching threshold indicating that the event of the list of events relates to the unauthorized subject;
determining if an event of the list of events relating to the authorized subject has a matching score higher than a second matching threshold, the second matching threshold referring to a minimum matching score for an event to be determined as being related to the authorized subject, the matching score higher than the second matching threshold indicating the event of the list of events relates to the authorized subject, the second matching threshold being higher than the first matching threshold;
calculating a matching score of the event based on data identifying the unauthorized subject; and
determining if the matching score of the event is higher than the first matching threshold and lower than the second matching threshold, the matching score higher than the first matching threshold and lower than the second matching threshold indicating that the data identifying the unauthorized subject has a moderate degree of correlation with the data identifying the authorized subject.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the event to relate to the unauthorized subject comprises:
determining the event to relate to the authorized subject in response to determining that the likelihood of how the event is similar to the at least one event of the list of events relating to the authorized subject is higher than the likelihood of how the event is similar to the at least one event of the list of events relating to the unauthorized subject.
3. The method in claim 1 , further comprising:
updating the data identifying the authorized subject to comprise the data identifying the unauthorized subject of each event of the list of events relating to the authorized subject.
4. The method in claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an input, the input being at least one image captured by at least one image capturing device during a specific time period, wherein detection of the event and the list of events comprising the data identifying the unauthorized subject is based on the received input.
5. An apparatus for determining if an event relates to an unauthorized subject, the apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory in communication with the processor and memory storing a computer program that is executable by the processor to cause the apparatus at least to:
determine a likelihood of how the event is similar to at least one of: (i) at least one event of a list of events relating to the unauthorized subject and (ii) at least one of a list of events relating to an authorized subject, each event of the list of events comprising data identifying the unauthorized subject, the determination of likelihood being based on the data identifying the unauthorized subject;
determine the event to relate to the unauthorized subject in response to the determination of the likelihood;
calculate a matching score of each event of the list of events based on data identifying the unauthorized subject, the matching score referring to a degree of correlation between the data identifying the unauthorized subject and data identifying the authorized subject;
determine if an event of the list of events relating to the unauthorized subject has a matching score lower than a first matching threshold, the first matching threshold referring to a maximum matching score for an event to be determined as being related to the unauthorized subject, the matching score lower than the first matching threshold indicating that the event of the list of events relates to the unauthorized subject;
determine if an event of the list of events relating to the authorized subject has a matching score higher than a second matching threshold, the second matching threshold referring to a minimum matching score for an event to be determined as being related to the authorized subject, the matching score higher than the second matching threshold indicating the event of the list of events relates to the authorized subject, the second matching threshold being higher than the first matching threshold;
calculate a matching score of the event based on data identifying the unauthorized subject; and
determine if the matching score of the event is higher than the first matching threshold and lower than the second matching threshold, the matching score higher than the first matching threshold and lower than the second matching threshold indicating that the data identifying the unauthorized subject has a moderate degree of correlation with the data identifying the authorized subject.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the computer program is executable by the processor to cause the apparatus further to:
determine the event to relate to the authorized subject in response to determining that the likelihood of how the event is similar to the at least one event of the list of events relating to the authorized subject is higher than the likelihood of how the event is similar to the at least one event of the list of events relating to the unauthorized subject.
7. The apparatus in claim 5 , wherein the computer program is executed executable by the processor to cause the apparatus further to:
update the data identifying the authorized subject to comprise the data identifying the unauthorized subject of each event of the list of events relating to the authorized subject.
8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the computer program is executable by the processor to cause the apparatus further to:
receive an input, the input being at least one image captured by at least one image capturing device during a specific time period, wherein detection of the event and the list of events comprising the data identifying the unauthorized subject is based on the received input.
9. A system for determining if an event relates to an unauthorized subject, the system comprising:
the apparatus as claimed in claim 5 and at least one image capturing device.
10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program executable by a computer to perform processing for determining if an event relates to an unauthorized subject, the processing comprising:
determining a likelihood of how the event is similar to at least one of: (i) at least one event of a list of events relating to the unauthorized subject and (ii) at least one of a list of events relating to an authorized subject, each event of the list of events comprising data identifying the unauthorized subject, the determination of likelihood being based on the data identifying the unauthorized subject;
determining the event to relate to the unauthorized subject in response to the determination of the likelihood;
calculating a matching score of each event of the list of events based on data identifying the unauthorized subject, the matching score referring to a degree of correlation between the data identifying the unauthorized subject and data identifying the authorized subject;
determining if an event of the list of events relating to the unauthorized subject has a matching score lower than a first matching threshold, the first matching threshold referring to a maximum matching score for an event to be determined as being related to the unauthorized subject, the matching score lower than the first matching threshold indicating that the event of the list of events relates to the unauthorized subject;
