Systems and methods for implementing a sensor based real time tracking system

Abstract:

An exemplary system includes a memory that stores instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to access a thermal image captured by a thermal imaging device, the thermal image including a plurality of pixels, convert the thermal image to a heatmap image, generate a foreground image by separating a background represented in the heatmap image from a foreground represented in the heatmap image, identify, in the foreground image, at least one hotspot representing a heat source located at the user premises, determine a contour shape of the at least one hotspot, and determine, based on the contour shape of the at least one hotspot, whether the at least one hotspot represented in the foreground image represents a target heat source located at the user premises.
