Adaptive multi-modal integrated biometric identification detection and surveillance systems
A surveillance system is provided that includes at least one sensor disposed in a security area of a surveillance region to sense an occurrence of a potential security breach event; a plurality of cameras is disposed in the surveillance region; at least one camera of the plurality has a view of the security area and can be configured to automatically gather biometric information concerning at least one subject person in the vicinity of the security area in response to the sensing of a potential security breach event; one or more other of the plurality of cameras can be configured to search for the at least one subject person; a processing system is programmed to produce a subject dossier corresponding to the at least one subject person to match biometric information of one or more persons captured by one or more of the other cameras with corresponding biometric information in the subject dossier.
1. A surveillance method comprising:
using at least one event sensor disposed in a security area of a surveillance region to sense an occurrence of a potential security breach event;
using at least one camera with a view of the security area in which the event is sensed to gather biometric information concerning at least one person in the vicinity of the security area at about the time of the sensing of the event:
producing a subject dossier corresponding to the at least one person, the subject dossier including at least two biometric signatures;
matching biometric information of one or more persons captured by one or more other cameras in the vicinity of the at least one camera with corresponding biometric information in the subject dossier; and
fusing the at least two signatures and including the fused signature in the subject dossier.
2. A surveillance method of comprising:
using at least one event sensor disposed in a security area of a surveillance region to sense an occurrence of a potential security breach event;
using at least one camera with a view of the security area in which the event is sensed to gather biometric information concerning at least one person in the vicinity of the security area at about the time of the sensing of the event:
producing a subject dossier corresponding to the at least one person, the subject dossier including at least two biometric signatures;
matching biometric information of one or more persons captured by one or more other cameras in the vicinity of the at least one camera with corresponding biometric information in the subject dossier; and
incrementally fusing the at least two signatures and including the fused signature in the subject dossier.
