Abstract
At a high level, embodiments of the invention relate to augmenting video data with presence data derived from one or more proximity tags. More specifically, embodiments of the invention generate forensically authenticated recordings linking video imagery to the presence of specific objects in or near the recording. One embodiment of the invention includes video recording system comprising a camera, a wireless proximity tag reader, a storage memory and control circuitry operable to receive image data from the camera receive a proximity tag identifier identifying a proximity tag from the proximity tag reader, and store an encoded frame containing the image data and the proximity tag identity in the storage memory.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of associating image data for an event with a presence of a law enforcement officer, the method comprising:
- detecting a triggering event by one or more sensors;
- receiving the image data from an image data recording device associated with the law enforcement officer;
- receiving radio-frequency proximity tag data from a proximity tag reader associated with the law enforcement officer;
- determining to augment the image data based on the triggering event;
- augmenting a frame of the image data to include a first portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data corresponding to a time of the frame;
- and
- augmenting an additional frame of the image data to include a second portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data corresponding to a time of the additional frame,
- wherein the second portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data is distinct from the first portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data.
A method of associating image data for an event with a presence of a law enforcement officer, the method comprising:
- detecting a triggering event by one or more sensors associated with the law enforcement officer;
- receiving the image data from an image data recording device associated with the law enforcement officer;
- receiving radio-frequency proximity tag data from a radio-frequency proximity tag reader associated with the law enforcement officer;
- determining to augment the image data based on the triggering event;
- augmenting a frame of the image data to include a first portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data corresponding to a time of the frame and data associated with the one or more sensors corresponding to the time of the frame;
- and
- augmenting an additional frame of the image data to include a second portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data corresponding to a time of the additional frame,
- wherein the second portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data is distinct from the first portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data.
A system of associating image data for an event with a presence of a law enforcement officer, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors detecting a triggering event;
- an image data recording device receiving the image data;
- a radio-frequency proximity tag reader associated with the law enforcement officer and receiving radio-frequency proximity tag data,
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing a computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of associating the image data for the event with the presence of the law enforcement officer, the method comprising:
- determining to augment the image data based on the triggering event;
- augmenting a frame of the image data to include a first portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data corresponding to a time of the frame;
- and
- augmenting an additional frame of the image data to include a second portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data corresponding to a time of the additional frame,
- wherein the second portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data is distinct from the first portion of the radio-frequency proximity tag data.
