1. A system comprising:
a plurality of video capture devices; and
a processor respectively coupled to each of the video capture devices, wherein the processor is operable to:
direct a respective video capture device to obtain an image of at least a portion of a monitored area;
process the image to identify a plurality of objects of interest represented in the image;
generate bounding perimeter virtual objects for the identified objects of interest, wherein each bounding perimeter virtual object surrounds at least a portion of a respective identified object of interest;
determine danger zones for the identified objects of interest based on the bounding perimeter virtual objects; and
determine a near-miss condition based, at least in part, on an actual or predicted overlap of danger zones for two or more identified objects of interest.
