A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11922697B1) discloses an innovative apparatus designed to enhance object detection capabilities through computer vision operations. The apparatus includes an interface to receive pixel data from a capture device and an activation signal from activation sensors. A processor processes the pixel data as video frames, detects objects, classifies them based on characteristics, and generates control signals for the capture device. In cases where a match is not detected between the classification and a predetermined object class, a calibration signal is generated to adjust the operating parameters of the activation sensors. The apparatus aims to improve accuracy by adjusting sensor parameters automatically without user intervention.

The apparatus further refines its functionality by utilizing a plurality of activation sensors, such as passive infrared or radar sensors, to cover specific zones within the field of view of the capture device. By adjusting parameters like sensor range and sensitivity, false positive detections can be minimized, enhancing overall performance. Additionally, the apparatus can switch between low power and image capture modes based on the activation signal, conserving battery life while ensuring efficient operation during detection tasks. The processor's ability to independently manage sensor parameters for each zone based on object locations within the field of view demonstrates a sophisticated approach to optimizing object detection and classification processes.
