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
A method of associating image data with proximity, the method comprising:
- receiving the image data from one or more image data recording devices;
- receiving proximity tag data associated with a proximity tag from a proximity tag reader,
- wherein the proximity tag data comprises signal strength information indicative of a position of the proximity tag relative to the proximity tag reader;
- augmenting a frame of the image data to include a first portion of the signal strength information corresponding to a first time of the frame;
- and
- augmenting an additional frame of the image data to include a second portion of the signal strength information corresponding to a second time of the additional frame.
A system comprising:
- one or more image data recording devices;
- a proximity tag reader;
- a proximity tag;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing a computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method of associating image data with proximity, the method comprising:
- receiving the image data from the one or more image data recording devices;
- receiving proximity tag data associated with the proximity tag from the proximity tag reader,
- wherein the proximity tag data comprises signal strength information indicative of a position of the proximity tag relative to the proximity tag reader;
- augmenting a frame of the image data to include a first portion of the signal strength information corresponding to a first time of the frame;
- and
- augmenting an additional frame of the image data to include a second portion of the signal strength information corresponding to a second time of the additional frame.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method of associating image data with proximity, the method comprising:
- receiving the image data from one or more image data recording devices;
- receiving an indication of a triggering event from at least one sensor;
- receiving proximity tag data associated with a proximity tag from a proximity tag reader,
- wherein the proximity tag data comprises signal strength information indicative of a position of the proximity tag relative to the proximity tag reader;
- responsive to the triggering event, augmenting a frame of the image data to include a first portion of the signal strength information corresponding to a first time of the frame;
- and
- augmenting an additional frame of the image data to include a second portion of the signal strength information corresponding to a second time of the additional frame.
