Abstract

An interactive surveillance overlay is provided. A processor receives surveillance data of an object within an incident area. A processor determines a movement of an object within the incident area based, at least in part, on the surveillance data. A processor extracts one or more images of the object based, at least in part, on the surveillance data. A processor generates at least one panoramic view of the incident area. A processor renders the one or more extracted images over the at least one panoramic view of the incident area.

Claims

1. A method of generating an interactive surveillance overlay, the method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors, surveillance data of an object within an incident area;

determining, by the one or more processors, a movement of an object within the incident area based, at least in part, on the surveillance data;

extracting, by the one or more processors, one or more images of the object based, at least in part, on the surveillance data;

generating, by the one or more processors, at least one panoramic view of the incident area; and

rendering, by the one or more processors, the one or more extracted images over the at least one panoramic view of the incident area.

2. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising:

receiving, by the one or more processors, a change in a perspective of the at least one panoramic view; and

updating, by the one or more processors, the rendering of the one or more extracted images, in response to the change of perspective.

3. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising:

rendering, by the one or more processors, a map of the incident area, wherein the map includes the movement of the object within the incident area.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the movement of the object within the incident area includes one or more of:

(i) captured movements of the object, and (ii) probable movements of the object.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the probable movements of the object are based, at least in part, on a path between at least two locations.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least two locations comprise:

(i) a first point from an area covered from a first capture device and (ii) a second point from an area covered from a second capture device.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least two locations comprise:

(i) a location of an incident and (ii) a point from an area covered from a capture device.

8. A computer program product for generating an interactive surveillance overlay, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive surveillance data of an object within an incident area;

program instructions to determine a movement of an object within the incident area based, at least in part, on the surveillance data;

program instructions to extract one or more images of the object based, at least in part, on the surveillance data;

program instructions to generate at least one panoramic view of the incident area; and

program instructions to render the one or more extracted images over the at least one panoramic view of the incident area.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, the program instructions further comprising:

program instructions to receive a change in a perspective of the at least one panoramic view; and

program instructions to update the rendering of the one or more extracted images, in response to the change of perspective.

10. The computer program product of claim 8, the program instructions further comprising:

program instructions to render a map of the incident area, wherein the map includes the movement of the object within the incident area.

11. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the movement of the object within the incident area includes one or more of:

(i) captured movements of the object, and (ii) probable movements of the object.

12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein the probable movements of the object are based, at least in part, on a path between at least two locations.

13. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the at least two locations comprise:

(i) a first point from an area covered from a first capture device and (ii) a second point from an area covered from a second capture device.

14. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the at least two locations comprise:

(i) a location of an incident and (ii) a point from an area covered from a capture device.

15. A computer system for generating an interactive surveillance overlay, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media; and

program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive surveillance data of an object within an incident area;

program instructions to determine a movement of an object within the incident area based, at least in part, on the surveillance data;

program instructions to extract one or more images of the object based, at least in part, on the surveillance data;

program instructions to generate at least one panoramic view of the incident area; and

program instructions to render the one or more extracted images over the at least one panoramic view of the incident area.

16. The computer system of claim 15, the program instructions further comprising:

program instructions to receive a change in a perspective of the at least one panoramic view; and

program instructions to update the rendering of the one or more extracted images, in response to the change of perspective.

17. The computer system of claim 15, the program instructions further comprising:

program instructions to render a map of the incident area, wherein the map includes the movement of the object within the incident area.

18. The computer system of claim 17, wherein the movement of the object within the incident area includes one or more of:

(i) captured movements of the object, and (ii) probable movements of the object.

19. The computer system of claim 18, wherein the probable movements of the object are based, at least in part, on a path between at least two locations.

20. The computer system of claim 19, wherein the at least two locations comprise:

(i) a first point from an area covered from a first capture device and (ii) a second point from an area covered from a second capture device.
