Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
detecting a motion event using a motion detector;
based on detecting the motion event, activating an image capture device;
acquiring a first set of images with the image capture device;
processing the first set of images to detect a moving object;
identifying the moving object as an unrecognized object;
based on identifying the moving object as an unrecognized object,
acquiring a second set of images of the scene with the image capture device;
processing the second set of images to confirm detection of the moving object;
based on processing the second set of images, confirming identification of the moving object as an unrecognized object; and
based on confirming the identification of the moving object as an unrecognized object, controlling the image capture device to record a video sequence of the scene;
wherein processing the first set of images to detect the moving object includes:
applying a motion detection process to a plurality of images in the first set of images to detect motion in the scene;
applying an object detection process to at least one image of the plurality of images to detect an object in the scene; and
pairing the motion with the object to locate the moving object;

wherein applying the motion detection process includes producing a first bounding box identifying a location of the motion in the at least one image;
wherein applying the object detection process includes producing a second bounding box identifying a location of the object in the at least one image; and
wherein pairing the motion with the object includes determining that the first bounding box and the second bounding box at least partially overlap.
