Title

Implementing advanced image processing technology in sensor systems for security & surveillance

Abstract:

The range and scope of EO/IR sensor systems within security and surveillance applications is growing, and this places a corresponding demand on the image processing functionality required to meet the end-users needs and requirements.

Within this paper, the application of different image processing architectures and techniques is reviewed in terms of situational awareness criteria and is illustrated through specific system applications.

The concepts and benefits of multi-modal and distributed sensor systems are also considered together with the attendant data registration and fusion techniques.

Finally, the exploitation of a priori information within the integrated security and surveillance picture is considered from both a processing technology and image display perspective.
