Abstract

An intelligent video/audio observation and identification database system may define a security zone or group of zones. The system may identify vehicles and individuals entering or exiting the zone through image recognition of the vehicle or individual as compared to prerecorded information stored in a database. The system may alert security personnel as to warrants or other information discovered pertaining to the recognized vehicle or individual resulting from a database search. The system may compare images of a suspect vehicle, such as an undercarriage image, to standard vehicle images stored in the database and alert security personnel as to potential vehicle overloading or foreign objects detected, such as potential bombs. The system may track individuals or vehicles within a zone or between zones. The system may further learn the standard times and locations of vehicles or individuals tracked by the system and alert security personnel upon deviation from standard activity.

Claims (24)

1. An apparatus for at least one security zone said apparatus comprising:

at least one optical input device;

at least one computer, said at least one computer being in communication with said at least one optical input device, said at least one computer compiling an evolving database, said evolving database comprising information representative of patterns of observed data for said at least one security zone said at least one computer storing said patterns of observed data in memory wherein said at least one computer is constructed and arranged to process said patterns of observed data for issuance of at least one investigation signal.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising comparison software in communication with said evolving database, wherein said comparison software compares observed data to said patterns of observed data.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising sensitivity software in communication with said evolving database.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein said at least one computer is in communication with at least one external database.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein said at least one computer comprises at least one defined profile.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein said at least one defined profile is constructed and arranged as a search query for communication with said evolving database.

7. An apparatus for at least one security zone said apparatus comprising:

a plurality of optical input devices;

at least one computer, said at least one computer being in communication with said plurality of optical input devices, said at least one computer compiling at least one evolving database, said at least one evolving database comprising information representative of said at least one security zone and information representative of patterns of observed data for said at least one security zone wherein said at least one computer is constructed and arranged to process said patterns of observed data; and

wherein said at least one computer is constructed and arranged to issue at least one investigation signal.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising sensitivity software in connection with said evolving database, said sensitivity software processing information from said evolving database for issuance of said at least on investigation signal.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising comparison software in communication with said evolving database.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , said sensitivity software comprising probability analysis software, wherein said probability analysis software defines threshold criteria for issuance of said at least one investigation signal.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein said at least one computer is in communication with at least one external database.

12. An apparatus for at least one security zone said apparatus comprising:

a plurality of optical input devices;

at least one computer, said at least one computer being in communication with said plurality of optical input devices, said at least one computer compiling an evolving database, said evolving database comprising information representative of said at least one security zone and information representative of patterns of observed data for said at least one security zone wherein said at least one computer is constructed and arranged to process said patterns of observed data;

comparison software in communication with said evolving database; and

sensitivity software in communication with said evolving database;

wherein said at least one computer is constructed and arranged to compare information from said evolving database and information from said at least one security zone for issuance of at least one investigation signal.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , said sensitivity software comprising probability analysis software, wherein said probability analysis software defines threshold criteria for issuance of said at least one investigation signal.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein said at least one computer is in communication with at least one external database.
