Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A method of analyzing images of a premises by a computing device to determine whether a fence is present at the premises, the method comprising:
retrieving, by the computing device, information about the premises, the information including a list of available sensory devices;
determining, by the computing device, whether the list of sensory devices includes a camera disposed proximally to the premises;
wherein, upon determining that the list of sensory devices includes a camera, the method further includes:
retrieving, by the computing device, at least one image of the premises captured from the camera disposed proximally to the premises; and
analyzing the at least one image of the premises from the camera using a machine learning system, wherein an output of the machine learning system includes a fence classification parameter; and

wherein, upon determining that the list of sensory devices does not include a camera, the method further includes:
retrieving, by the computing device, at least one satellite image of the premises from a satellite images database, the at least one satellite image corresponding to an overhead view of the premises; and
analyzing the at least one satellite image of the premises using the machine learning system, wherein an output of the machine learning system includes a fence classification parameter;

determining, by the computing device, whether or not the premises has a fence based on the fence classification parameter from the machine learning system; and
upon determining that a fence is present at the premises, further analyzing the at least one image of the premises from the camera or the at least one satellite image of the premises by the machine learning system to determine a configuration of the fence on the premises.
