The present invention is directed to a threat detection and notification system which preferably comprises a LIDAR unit capable of detecting an object in its field of view during a first and subsequent refresh scans, and outputting point cloud data representative of the object detected in a refresh frame corresponding to every refresh scan. A server is operatively connected to the LIDAR unit and is capable of receiving the point cloud data and determining, for the object detected within each refresh frame, a predetermined set of object-specific attributes. A user control interface is operatively connected to the server and is capable of creating a watch zone defining an area of interest less than the LIDAR unit's field of view, and is further capable of defining a plurality of watch mode parameters associated with the watch zone. A LIDAR alert engine is operatively connected to the server and is capable of determining whether the object detected in each refresh frame is located within the watch zone, calculating at least one indicant of motion of the object, and comparing at least one object-specific attribute and the at least one indicant of motion of the object to the defined watch mode parameters. The LIDAR alert engine is capable of alerting a predetermined user to the presence of the object in the event the object is within the watch zone and the aforementioned comparison indicates an alert condition.

An information handling system manages operation of an infrared time of flight sensor to provide accurate and timely user presence and absence detection through modulation in the frequency domain of infrared light, such as by hopping or multiplexing through plural infrared frequencies sensed by the time of flight sensor. An application of the information handling system retrieves calibration information from the infrared time of flight sensor and applies the calibration information to select the plural infrared frequencies. If one or more predetermined conditions, such as a change in ambient light characteristics, the application commands an update of the calibration information to enhance user presence and absence detection.

In some aspects, a device may obtain point data from a lidar scanner. The point data may be associated with an angular subrange of a polar grid of the lidar scanner. The device may cause a transformer model to process the point data to identify a set of points based at least in part on the angular subrange, analyze the set of points based at least in part on a polar distance between the set of points and an origin of the polar grid, and indicate whether the set of points is associated with an object. The device may perform an action based at least in part on whether the transformer model indicates that the set of points is associated with the object. Numerous other aspects are described.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for damage assessment using multi-dimensional surface scans. In an example embodiment, an electronic damage assessment request related to the property is received. The electronic damage assessment request comprises first location information. Based on second information provided by a mobile device comprising a LIDAR sensor associated with the computing platform, the mobile device is determined to be in a target spatial location corresponding to the first location information. Based on determining that the mobile device is in the target spatial location, a scan is initiated by the LIDAR sensor. Depth sensor data associated with a surveyed area of the property is received from the LIDAR sensor. Based on the depth sensor data, a three-dimensional surface scan of the surveyed area of the property is generated. Damage to the property is assessed based on the generated three-dimensional surface scan. A damage report including the assessed damage is generated and transmitted to an interactive display interface of a computing system.
