Abstract

A system is provided, including: a radar sensor configured to transmit and receive a radar signal from a person; a depth camera configured to receive a depth image of the person; one or more processors communicative with memory having stored thereon computer program code configured when executed by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising: detect the person; determine depth information relating to the person using the depth image; determine a correlation between the depth information of the person and the radar signal received from the person; and in response to the correlation not within a range of expected values, generating an alert. The depth information may be a volume or surface area of the person.

Claims (37)

1. A computer-implemented method of detecting an anomalous presence on a person, comprising:

detecting the person;

receiving a radar signature associated with the person;

receiving depth information from a depth camera;

processing the depth information;

comparing the radar signature with the processed depth information to establish a correlation between the radar signature and the processed depth information that is not within an expected range; and

in response to the correlation being established, generating an alert.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the processed depth information is a volume of the person.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the processed depth information is a surface area of a person.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the person comprises using radar to detect the person.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the person comprises using a camera to detect the person.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the camera is the depth camera.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the alert comprises one or more of: activating a visual alarm; and activating an audible alarm.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the person is detected at a choke point.

9. A system comprising:

a radar sensor configured to transmit and receive a radar signal from a person;

a depth camera configured to receive a depth image of the person;

one or more processors communicative with memory having stored thereon computer program code configured when executed by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

detect the person;

determine depth information relating to the person using the depth image;

determine a correlation between the depth information of the person and the radar signal received from the person; and

in response to the correlation not being within a range of expected values, generating an alert.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the depth information is a volume of the person.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the depth information is a surface area of the person.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein generating the alert comprises one or more of: activating a visual alarm; and activating an audible alarm.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the person is detected at a choke point.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer program code configured when executed by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

detect a person;

determine depth information of the person using a depth image received from a depth camera;

determine a correlation between the depth information of the person and a radar signal associated with the person, the radar signal received from a radar sensor; and

in response to the correlation not being within an expected range of values, generating an alert.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the depth information is a volume of the person.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the depth information is a surface area of the person.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein detecting the person comprises using radar to detect the person.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein detecting the person comprises using a camera to detect the person.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein generating the alert comprises one or more of: activating a visual alarm; and activating an audible alarm.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the person is detected at a choke point.
