    摘要: A surveillance system using an array of detectors onto which energy from the scene under surveillance is focused can indicate the direction of an event that has been recognized. The invention uses two or more arrays to locate events in three dimensions, and to define regions within the three dimensional space being surveyed. The events are located by detecting which elements from the respective arrays are stimulated by the occurrence of an event, and determining the location of the event to be at the intersection of the fields of view of the stimulated elements.

    摘要: A two dimensional array of resistive bolometers (B) is arranged in rows and columns. Amplifiers (A0, A1 etc) amplify signals obtained from the bolometers. Instead of providing one amplifier per column, a smaller number of amplifiers is used each of which is connected to a plurality of column sense lines (L) via a multiplexer (M0, M1 etc).

    摘要: A queue management system for e.g. supermarket checkouts uses counting devices located at checkouts and optimally entrances/exits in conjunction with P.O.S. information to produce a schedule of how many checkouts are needed to avoid queue length exceeding preset limits. The system includes a dynamic learning system which can optimize calculated schedules on the basis of historical data.

    摘要: A method of monitoring hand washing by individuals comprises monitoring the movements of individuals in an area using one or more sensors, identifying the performance of an act by an individual that requires the hands of the individual to be washed and determining whether the hands of the individual are washed after the performance of the act, wherein the determining includes tracking the motion of that individual using the one or more sensors. Sensors comprising arrays of thermal detectors are preferred, but other types of sensor could be included.

    摘要: A system for monitoring the motion of objects is configured to identify objects meeting predetermined criteria appearing in a scene and to track the motion of identified objects across the scene. In a particular embodiment the system is configured to compile statistical data for multiple points or regions to indicate one or both of: the frequency with which objects are initialised at that region or point; and the frequency with which initialised objects cross the region or point. The initialisation data will indicate the areas in the scene where objects are most frequently initialised. If the statistical data shows an area of the scene in which objects are never initialised this might indicate that there is an obstruction between objects that need to be tracked and the detector. The path data will indicate the paths most frequently followed by objects. If there is a particularly well trodden path to and fro in a particular part of the scene this might distort the result of a count of people entering and leaving a region in the scene.

    摘要: A system includes a sensor and a remote processing and storage component in communication with the sensor. The sensor generates sensor data indicative of the presence of people or objects in a scene. The remote processing and storage component receives the sensor data from the sensor and performs an automated counting process to determine an automated count of people or objects. The component receives a request to perform a validation process for the sensor. The component also generates and transmits a link to a manual validation page that includes an interface for performing a manual count. The component further receives an indication to start a validation process from the manual validation page, generates an automated count value from the performed automated counting process, and receives manual count data. The component also generates a validation report based on the automated count value and the manual count data.

    摘要: Some systems include an illuminator configured to illuminate a scene, a detector configured to receive electromagnetic radiation from the scene, one or more retroreflective tags, and an image processor. Each of the one or more retroreflective tags is attached to or positioned near a corresponding target and is configured to reflect electromagnetic radiation from the illuminator toward the detector. The image processor can identify electromagnetic radiation reflected by one or more retroreflective tags to determine the presence of one or more retroreflective tags and corresponding targets in the scene. Retroreflective tags can include retroreflective portions and non-retroreflective portions such that, when electromagnetic radiation is incident upon the retroreflective tag, the retroreflective tag reflects the electromagnetic radiation in a pattern that corresponds to a code uniquely corresponding to the target. An image processor can determine the presence of a target based on identifying the unique code of the retroreflective tag.

    摘要: Systems for detecting occupancy of an area comprising one or more zones can include one or more sensors and one or more processors configured to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors over time. The one or more processors can be further configured to receive or store data about an arrangement of the zones in the area. The one or more processors can apply a probabilistic model considering the sensor data received over time to determine the number of subjects in each zone by determining a most likely current state of occupancy of the area among a plurality of possible scenarios.

    摘要: Using a processor to receive a signal indicative of actuation of a cleansing product dispenser at a hand cleansing station and to receive a signal indicative of the presence of an individual at said cleansing station following actuation of the cleansing product dispenser. The processor is configured to process said signals to generate hand wash event data indicative of a length of a continuous period of time spent by said individual at said hand cleansing station. Hand wash event data is collated for a plurality of hand wash events at a stand-alone hand cleansing station or a plurality of linked hand cleansing stations in order to provide an indication of hand wash quality for said plurality of hand wash events and/or an indication of a number of compliant hand wash events. A running total of compliant hand wash events may be displayed to users.
