| 20110267469 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OVERLAYING DATA ONTO IMAGES OF A TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT CAMERA - A system and method for overlaying data, in the form of a databar, onto image frames that collectively show a video of a traffic violation event. In the system and method, a digital video of the violation event is first captured, where the video is comprised of a plurality of image frames of the violation event. Pertinent data corresponding to the violation event is determined and then this data is overlaid onto each image frame as a databar. In this manner, a single integrated file showing an image frame, having the databar overlaid thereon, may be stored in a database for evidentiary purposes to be reviewed by traffic enforcement personnel. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110182473 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIDEO SIGNAL SENSING USING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS - A system and method for determining the state of a traffic signal light, such as being red, yellow, or green, by employing a plurality of traffic enforcement cameras to be used in determining if a traffic violation has occurred. The system and method automatically predicts, tacks and captures violation events, such as violating a red traffic signal light, to use the video for any number of reasons, particularly for traffic enforcement purposes. There may be provided a tracking camera, a signal camera and an enforcement camera used to capture the video and other pertinent information relating to the event. The signal camera may be operatively connected to a processing unit that runs a video signal sensing (VSS) software unit to determine the active state of the system. Advantageously, this allows the monitoring of intersection for signal light violations without the need for a connection to the light itself. | 07-28-2011 |
