20140320595 | SYSTEM FOR EXTENDING A FIELD-OF-VIEW OF AN IMAGE ACQUISITION DEVICE - Systems and methods for detecting moving objects are provided. Systems illustratively include an image acquisition component, an image processing component, and a display component. Image acquisition components capture image data over a wide spatial area. Image processing components have dedicated algorithms for change detection and receive captured image data from image acquisition components. Image processing components utilize the captured data and the dedicated algorithms to perform image change detection. Display components receive processed image data from image processing components and provide visual indications that items of interest have been detected. Methods illustratively include obtaining first and second images covering a wide field-of-view. The second image is registered to and compared to the first image. Based at least in part on the comparison, a moving object within the wide field-of-view is detected. An indication of the moving object is provided. | 10-30-2014 |
20120120189 | SYSTEM FOR EXTENDING A FIELD-OF-VIEW OF AN IMAGE ACQUISITION DEVICE - Systems for extending a field-of-view of an image acquisition device are provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a rotatable image-directing device, an actuator, and a controller. The rotatable image-directing device directs optical images along an optical image path. The actuator controls a position of the rotatable image-directing device, and the controller generates signals for synchronizing the rotatable image-directing device and the image acquisition device. The signals illustratively include a first signal that is transmitted to the actuator, and a second signal that is transmitted to the image acquisition device. | 05-17-2012 |
20110169867 | MOVING OBJECT DETECTION, TRACKING, AND DISPLAYING SYSTEMS - Moving object detecting, tracking, and displaying systems are provided. Systems illustratively include a graphical user interface and a processing unit. The processing unit is a functional part of the system that executes computer readable instructions to generate the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may include an alert and tracking window that has a first dimension that corresponds to a temporal domain and a second dimension that corresponds to a spatial domain. In some embodiments, alert and tracking windows include target tracking markers. Target tracking markers optionally provide information about moving objects such as, but not limited to, information about past locations of moving objects and information about sizes of moving objects. Certain embodiments may also include other features such as zoom windows, playback controls, and graphical imagery added to a display to highlight moving objects. | 07-14-2011 |

20100073460 | MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STARING LENS SYSTEM - Infrared stationary lens systems for performing multi-dimensional scans of scenes are provided. Systems illustratively include a stationary lens, a first scan mirror, a second scan minor, and at least one actuator. The stationary lens transmits infrared light and has an optical axis. The first scan minor has a first axis and pivots about the first axis to direct images of a scene to the stationary lens along a first dimension. The second scan mirror has a second axis and is located in an optical path between the first scan mirror and the stationary lens. The second scan mirror pivots about the second axis to direct images of the scene to the stationary lens along a second dimension. At least one actuator controls the first and the second scan minors such that the first and the second scan minors step and stare across the multi-dimensional scan of the scene. | 03-25-2010 |
