Abstract

A computing system obtains a respective motion vector for each of a series of motion event candidates in real-time as said each motion event candidate is detected in a live video stream. In response to receiving the respective motion vector for each of the series of motion event candidates, the computing system determines a spatial relationship between the respective motion vector of said each motion event candidate to one or more existing clusters established based on a plurality of previously processed motion vectors, and in accordance with a determination that the respective motion vector of a first motion event candidate of the series of motion event candidates falls within a respective range of at least a first existing cluster of the one or more existing clusters, assigns the first motion event candidate to at least a first event category associated with the first existing cluster.
