Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for aiding in searches with an imaging sensor from a sensor platform. The method comprises utilizing the imaging sensor to detect multiple points of interest from the sensor platform. The multiple points of interest are displayed on an image display shown on a display device. Each point of interest is labeled on the image display and analyzed separately to determine details of the point of interest. Each analyzed point of interest is tagged on the image display with a distinctive marker to indicate completion of the analysis for that point of interest.
Claims20
A method for aiding in searches with an imaging sensor from a sensor platform, comprising:
- utilizing the imaging sensor to detect multiple points of interest from the sensor platform;
- displaying the multiple points of interest on an image display shown on a display device;
- labeling each point of interest on the image display;
- automatically creating an optimized search pattern with a video analytics system for the multiple points of interest;
- analyzing each point of interest separately on the image display to determine a type of object within each point of interest;
- and
- tagging each analyzed point of interest on the image display with a distinctive marker to indicate completion of the analysis for the analyzed point of interest.
A system for aiding in searches from a sensor platform, comprising:
- an imaging sensor that detects multiple points of interest from the sensor platform;
- and
- a display device on board the sensor platform that displays the multiple points of interest on an image display, where the display device allows a user to,
- label each point of interest on the image display,
- automatically create an optimized search pattern with a video analytics system for the multiple points of interest,
- analyze each point of interest separately on the image display to determine a type of object within each point of interest, and
- tag each analyzed point of interest on the image display with a distinctive marker to indicate completion of the analysis for the analyzed point of interest.
