1. A computer-implemented method for processing sensor data, the method comprising:

  • electronically and automatically receiving, by at least one specially programmed computer processor, over a network, from a plurality of remotely located recording sensors, sensor data being captured by the plurality of remotely located recording sensors for a predetermined time period;

    wherein the sensor data comprises one of;

    1) visual scenery recording,2) sound recording, and3) the visual scenery recording and the sound recording;

    analyzing, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, a plurality of chronological progressions of the visual scenery, the sound recording, or both in the sensor data over the predetermined time period to identify parameters of a plurality of representative features within the sensor data, wherein the plurality of representative features are patterns of the visual scenery, the sound recording, or both;

    storing, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, data representative of the plurality of representative features in a database associated with the at least one specially programmed processor;

    establishing, based on at least one pattern recognition criterion, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, a correspondence between (i) at least one first representative feature from the plurality of representative features identified within the sensor data and (ii) at least one characteristic of at least one occurrence in the sensor data;

    wherein the at least one characteristic is an attribute associated with the at least one occurrence;

    associating, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, at least one correlating tentative event identifier with data representative of the at least one first representative feature;

    discovering, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, at least one instance of the at least one occurrence within the sensor data based upon the correspondence between the at least one first representative feature within the sensor data to the at least one characteristic of the at least one occurrence;

    electronically outputting, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, an output indicative of the at least one instance of the at least one occurrences;

    associating, by the specially programmed computer processor, at least one non-correlating tentative event identifier with data representative of at least one second representative feature of the plurality of representative features, wherein the at least one second representative feature does not correspond to the at least one instance of the at least one occurrence; and

    electronically outputting, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, a second output indicative of the at least one second representative feature based on the at least one non-correlating tentative event identifier.
