1. A method for entity detection, comprising:
- detecting, using a camera and a controller, that a vehicle is positioned in a first predefined area of a parking lot based at least in part on camera data;
determining, using the controller, that a human is associated with the vehicle based at least in part on detecting the vehicle;
determining, using the camera and the controller, whether the human associated with the vehicle enters a second predefined area different from the first predefined area while the vehicle is positioned in the first predefined area;
tracking, using the camera and the controller, a location of the human relative to the first predefined area for a predetermined length of time since an arrival of the vehicle in the first predefined area; and
transmitting, using the controller, a first notification to a device associated with the second predefined area based at least in part on the location of the human relative to the second predefined area while the vehicle is positioned in the first predefined area, a time since the arrival of the vehicle exceeding the predetermined length of time, and the tracking.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for entity detection is described. In one embodiment, an entity passing through a perimeter of a predefined area is detected via a camera. Upon detecting the entity passing through the perimeter of the predefined area, a type of the entity is classified from an image of the entity captured by the camera. Upon classifying the type of the entity, a feature of the entity is detected from the image of the entity. An identifier is assigned to the entity based on the type and the detected feature of the entity. The identifier distinguishes the entity from another entity of a same type.
