Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a video processing system that is configured to receive images from one or more video sources, and to produce therefrom video-based information, the video-based information further comprising a measure of traffic of objects including at least a count of objects, a count of objects per unit time, and a directional flow pattern; and
a building management system that is configured to control operation of one or more resources of a building based on the video-based information.

Abstract
A video processing and analysis system is coupled to a building management and control system. The video processing system provides traffic, occupancy, and other information derived from video images of sections of the building and its environs to the building management and control systems. The building systems use this information in a variety of business management applications, including maintenance scheduling, asset replacement, elevator dispatching, HVAC and lighting control, and so on, to reduce operational or maintenance costs, expedite emergency procedures, improve service levels of building facilities, and regulate the building'"'"'s environmental conditions.
