Technology
The Imaging System for Immersive Surveillance is a 240-megapixel camera system that provides a 360-degree field of regard and can be mounted to a ceiling, tower, or wall. The camera contains 48 small imagers that are optically designed to provide high image resolution for each imager’s field of view. The system includes image-stitching software that combines the imagers to form a single wide-area scene. The system includes a smart data storage backend and viewing software for live or forensic operations. The system includes the capability of monitoring restricted areas and creating an alert when intruders breach them.
Problem Addressed
Conventional surveillance cameras are usually dispersed throughout the facility and monitored from multiple screens. The problems with this approach include difficulty in monitoring screens, low spatial resolution of the cameras, and unsuitability for target tracking and pattern recognition. There is a need for a video surveillance system that solves these problems.
Advantages
- Ideal for pattern recognition and restricted area monitoring.
- Uses commercial off-the-shelf components to achieve low cost.
