11545021 · 2023-01-03 · ·

An acquisition imaging system is described herein that acquires multiple images from multiple imagers where each are sent to a single processor/controller, resulting in a single, resultant image providing a detailed field of view. The system is comprised of multiple sets of images taken by multiple sensors, strategically placed to acquire multiple perspectives of an image field. Each sensor is packaged with digitization, compression and communication components in an imager to allow for the transfer of the image to a processor/controller system controller. The system's controller acts as the network interface, power supply and centralized management for processing information, specifically the analytics. The present invention has applications in surveillance, event classification systems, indexed archival storage, real-time and post facto image content analytics, future filtering vectors; ad hoc querying, automatic queries, and multiple query languages.
