1. An airport management system for an airport with a plurality of gates, the airport management system comprising:
a server; and
a plurality of image sensors respectively at the plurality of gates, each image sensor configured to generate image data for an apron of a respective gate;
the server configured to
receive the image data from each of the plurality of image sensors,
detect a plurality of objects and a plurality of apron events associated therewith and within the apron of the respective gate based upon a machine learning model,
for each object, generate an object detection level of confidence value, an object identification, date/time values for acquisition, x-y coordinates of the object, and a size value of the object,
generate a gate performance user interface (UI) for viewing the detected plurality of objects and the detected plurality of apron events, the gate performance UI comprising
a timeline menu of the detected plurality of apron events for each respective gate,
a video menu, and
a context menu,
when a given detected apron event is selected in the timeline menu, generate and display the video menu to comprise
a video associated with the given detected apron event,
a plurality of boundary boxes respectively displayed over the detected plurality of objects in the video associated with the given detected apron event, and
respective object detection level of confidence values for each of the plurality of boundary boxes displayed with the detected plurality of objects, and
when the given detected apron event is selected in the timeline menu, generate and display the context menu for the given detected apron event comprising a time duration for the given detected apron event, and start/end times for the given detected apron event.
