摘要： A unified approach, a fusion technique, a space-time constraint, a methodology, and system architecture are provided. The unified approach is to fuse the outputs of monocular and stereo video trackers, RFID and localization systems and biometric identification systems. The fusion technique is provided that is based on the transformation of the sensory information from heterogeneous sources into a common coordinate system with rigorous uncertainties analysis to account for various sensor noises and ambiguities. The space-time constraint is used to fuse different sensor using the location and velocity information. Advantages include the ability to continuously track multiple humans with their identities in a large area. The methodology is general so that other sensors can be incorporated into the system. The system architecture is provided for the underlying real-time processing of the sensors.

摘要： A sentient system combines detection, tracking, and immersive visualization of a cluttered and crowded environment, such as an office building, terminal, or other enclosed site using a network of stereo cameras. A guard monitors the site using a live 3D model, which is updated from different directions using the multiple video streams. As a person moves within the view of a camera, the system detects its motion and tracks the person's path, it hands off the track to the next camera when the person goes out of that camera's view. Multiple people can be tracked simultaneously both within and across cameras, with each track shown on a map display. The track system includes a track map browser that displays the tracks of all moving objects as well as a history of recent tracks and a video flashlight viewer that displays live immersive video of any person that is being tracked.

摘要： A mobile apparatus and method for monitoring and controlling the detection of stray voltage anomalies is provided. The mobile apparatus is comprised of a detection system unit and an imaging system unit that are configured, respectively, to provide streaming data of electric field measurements and corresponding video image frames of a particular scene being patrolled and examined for anomalies. Data from both the detection system unit and the imagining system unit are synchronized and provided to a video based graphical user interface (VGUI) to enable an operator of the VGUI with a “moving chart” graphical display of electric field strength overlaid on video image frames of a particular location in the scene at the time of the measurement. The VGUI is additionally configured with an audio tone having a pitch that is proportional to the measured electric field strength to alert the operator of a potential anomaly. Upon detection of an anomaly, the operator may employ the use of features available on the VGUI to playback captured signal strength measurements and their corresponding video imagery for purposes of isolating the source of the anomaly.

摘要： A sensor for sensing an electric field includes a movable sensor probe including one or more pair, typically three pair, of electrically conductive electrodes, and may include one or more pair of selectively switchable auxiliary electrodes. The probe is movable and may be mounted on a vehicle or trailer. A processor may process electric field signals from the probe for providing a human perceivable indication of the electric field. The processor may perform a Fast Fourier Transform of the electric field signals to produce an indication of the magnitude of the electric field, and may perform unweighted and/or weighted averaging in relation to processing electric field data, setting a comparison threshold, providing a human perceivable indication, or a combination of the foregoing. A speed at which the sensor probe is moving may be utilized in processing the data.
