Abstract
A surveillance apparatus, a corresponding method, surveillance radar apparatus, computer program, and non-transitory computer-readable recordable recording medium, the surveillance apparatus including an optical camera that captures images based on received light, the optical camera having a first field of view, a radar sensor that emits and receives electromagnetic radiation, the radar sensor having a second field of view, and wherein the first field of view is variable with respect to the second field of view.
Claims20
A surveillance apparatus comprising:
- an optical camera that captures images based on received light, said optical camera having a first field of view;
- and
- a radar sensor that emits and receives electromagnetic radiation, said radar sensor having a second field of view, wherein
- said first field of view is variable with respect to said second field of view.
A surveillance apparatus comprising:
- an optical camera that captures images based on received light, said optical camera having a first field of view;
- and
- a radar sensor that emits and receives electromagnetic radiation, said radar sensor having a second field of view, wherein
- said second field differs from said first field of view.
A surveillance radar apparatus for retrofitting an optical surveillance camera, having a first field of view, comprising:
- a housing for arrangement of the surveillance radar apparatus at the surveillance camera;
- and
- a radar sensor that emits and receives electromagnetic radiation, said radar sensor having a second field of view, wherein
- said first field of view is variable with respect to said second field of view.
A surveillance method comprising:
- capturing images based on received light with an optical camera, said optical camera having a first field of view;
- and
- emitting and receiving electromagnetic radiation with a radar sensor, said radar sensor having a second field of view, wherein
- said first field of view is variable with respect to said second field of view.
