US 2006/0049930 A1 · Method and apparatus for implementing multipurpose monitoring system

Abstract

Method for the monitoring of an environment, by procuring, adjourning and storing in a memory, files representing the background space. Programs for processing data obtained from the observation of objects are defined and stored in a memory, for identifying the objects and for determining whether they are dangerous. Parameters, according to which the observation of the controlled space is effected, are determined and stored. Photographic observation of the controlled space or sections thereof, is performed according to the aforesaid observation parameters. The digital data representing these photographs are processed to determine whether possible dangerous objects have been detected, and if so, these objects are classified according to the stored danger parameters.

Dependent claims

Method for the monitoring of an environment, comprising the steps of:

a) defining and storing in a memory programs for processing, in real-time, data obtained from the observation of objects by one or more pairs of optical and/or thermal imagers, relatively positioned along a common vertical line, for identifying said objects and determining whether they are dangerous;
b) determining and storing parameters according to which the observation of the controlled space is effected;
c) carrying out photographic observation of the controlled space or sections thereof, according to the aforesaid observation parameters;
and
d) jointly processing the digital data representing said optical and thermal photographs, to determine whether possible dangerous objects have been detected, and if so, classifying said objects according to the stored danger parameters.
