20090102939 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY ACQUIRING MULTIPLE IMAGES WITH A GIVEN CAMERA - An apparatus and method for acquiring multiple images of a given scene. The apparatus allows a standard video imaging camera to simultaneously detect multiple images through the use of reflective surfaces. In at least one embodiment, the multiple images allow for a single image to be created having a high dynamic range. In another embodiment, method for efficiently determining an infrared image is provided. | 04-23-2009 |
20090237508 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING IMMERSIVE SURVEILLANCE - A method and apparatus for providing immersive surveillance wherein a remote security guard may monitor a scene using a variety of imagery sources that are rendered upon a model to provide a three-dimensional conceptual view of the scene. Using a view selector, the security guard may dynamically select a camera view to be displayed on his conceptual model, perform a walk through of the scene, identify moving objects and select the best view of those moving objects and so on. | 09-24-2009 |
20100013917 | Method and system for performing surveillance - A method and system for performing surveillance includes receiving location information for a detected object via a first sensor and slewing a second sensor to the detected object in accordance with the location information provided by the first sensor. In one embodiment, the first sensor detects the presence of the object (which may or may not be moving), and the second sensor provides more refined or specific information about the detected object, such as a higher-resolution image of the detected object. | 01-21-2010 |
20100034423 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND TRACKING AN OBJECT OF INTEREST IN SPATIO-TEMPORAL SPACE - The present invention provides a system and method for detecting and tracking a moving object. First, robust change detection is applied to find initial candidate regions in consecutive frames. These initial detections in consecutive frames are stacked to produce space-time bands which are extracted by Hough transform and entropy minimization based band detection algorithm. | 02-11-2010 |
20100149338 | Method and apparatus for multi-user user-specific scene visualization - A method and apparatus is described for providing a personalized interactive experience to view a scene to a plurality of concurrent users. A plurality of image sources with different attributes such as frame-rate and resolution, are digitally processed to provide controllable enhanced user-specific visualization. An image source control method is also described to adjust the image sources based on collective requirement of a plurality of users. | 06-17-2010 |
20100278508 | Method and system for scalable multi-user interactive visualization - A scalable method and apparatus is described to provide personalized interactive visualization of a plurality of compressed image data to a plurality of concurrent users. A plurality of image sources are digitally processed in the compressed domain to provide controllable enhanced user-specific interactive visualization with support for adjustment in viewing parameters such frame-rate, field of view, resolution, color format, viewpoint and bandwidth. | 11-04-2010 |
20120207353 | System And Method For Detecting And Tracking An Object Of Interest In Spatio-Temporal Space - The present invention provides a system and method for detecting and tracking a moving object. First, robust change detection is applied to find initial candidate regions in consecutive frames. These initial detections in consecutive frames are stacked to produce space-time bands which are extracted by Hough transform and entropy minimization based band detection algorithm. | 08-16-2012 |
20140270404 | EFFICIENT PREVENTION OF FRAUD - This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for managing risk in a transaction with a user, which presents to the user, with sufficient detail for inspection, an image of the user blended with information about the transaction. A processor of a biometric device may blend an acquired image of a user of the device during a transaction with information about the transaction. The acquired image may comprise an image of the user suitable for manual or automatic recognition. The information may include a location determined via the device, an identifier of the device, and a timestamp for the image acquisition. The system may include a display, for presenting the blended image to the user. The presented image may show purposeful integration of the information about the transaction with the acquired image, to comprise a record of the transaction to be stored if the user agrees to proceed with the transaction. | 09-18-2014 |
20140270409 | EFFICIENT PREVENTION OF FRAUD - This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for selective identification of biometric data for efficient compression. An evaluation module operating on a biometric device may determine if a set of acquired biometric data satisfies a quality threshold for subsequent automatic or manual recognition, while satisfying a set of predefined criteria for efficient compression of a corresponding type of biometric data, the determination performed prior to performing data compression on the acquired biometric data. The evaluation module may classify, decide or identify, based on the determination, whether to retain the acquired set of acquired biometric data for subsequent data compression. | 09-18-2014 |
