Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and manufactures for a surveillance system are provided. The surveillance system includes sensors having at least one non-overlapping field of view. The surveillance system is operable to track a target in an environment using the sensors. The surveillance system is also operable to extract information from images of the target provided by the sensors. The surveillance system is further operable to determine probabilistic confidences corresponding to the information extracted from images of the target. The confidences include at least one confidence corresponding to at least one primitive event. Additionally, the surveillance system is operable to determine grounded formulae by instantiating predefined rules using the confidences. Further, the surveillance system is operable to infer a complex event corresponding to the target using the grounded formulae. Moreover, the surveillance system is operable to provide an output describing the complex event.
