1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first input configured to receive a video signal from a sensor;
a second input configured to receive status information about said apparatus at a time of generation of said video signal; and
a processor configured to (i) detect one or more objects in said video signal, (ii) determine absolute coordinates of said one or more objects in said video signal and (iii) generate metadata, wherein (A) said absolute coordinates of said one or more objects are based on (i) said status information, (ii) a relative location of said detected objects in said video signal, (iii) an orientation of said apparatus, and (iv) a field of view of said sensor, (B) said metadata corresponds to said absolute coordinates of said one or more objects, and (C) said orientation of said apparatus is added to the relative location of the detected objects to determine said absolute coordinates.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a sensor, an interface and a processor. The sensor may be configured to generate a video signal based on a targeted view of an environment. The interface may be configured to receive status information of the apparatus at a time of generation of the video signal. The processor may be configured to (i) detect one or more objects in the video signal, (ii) determine a location of the one or more objects relative to the sensor and (iii) generate metadata. The location of the one or more objects may be based on (i) the status information of the apparatus and (ii) a field of view of the sensor. The metadata may correspond to the location of the one or more objects.
