Abstract
System allowing the use of multiple types of imagers for performing monitoring. System allows calibrating an imager holding apparatus in a manner that allows any of a plurality of imagers to be used to perform successful monitoring of the subject.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- A holding apparatus to hold an imager in a position and at an angle relative to a subject;
- A memory to store a plurality of parameters of a plurality of imagers;
- A processor to
- determine whether an image of said subject captured with a first imager of said plurality of imagers, said first imager held in said holding apparatus, satisfies a plurality of conditions for a view of said subject;
- and
- determine using a first parameter of a second imager of said plurality of imagers, said first parameter stored in said memory, whether an image of said subject captured by said second imager when held in said holding apparatus at said position and said angle would satisfy said plurality of conditions of said view of said subject.

A method of calibrating a position of a device to hold an imager of a plurality of imagers, said method comprising:
- positioning said device in a first position and first angle relative to a subject;
- determining whether an image captured by said imager held by said device at said first position and first angle, satisfies a plurality of pre-defined conditions for said image of said subject;
- evaluating a plurality of characteristics of each of said plurality of imagers, said characteristics stored in a memory, to determine whether images of said subject captured by each of said plurality of imagers when held in said device would satisfy said plurality of pre-defined conditions;
- and
- adjusting said position and said angle to a second position and second angle wherein images captured by each of said plurality of imagers when held in said device at said second position and second angle satisfy said plurality of conditions.
