A method for surveillance of a predetermined volume comprising the following steps: a) preparing at least one video camera designed to acquire images of a predetermined volume which is under surveillance; b) defining in the images at least a first predetermined authorised region having a first level of authorisation and at least a second predetermined unauthorised region, c) analysing the images to identify a moving object and to identify at least one position associated with the moving object; d) comparing the position of the moving object identified with the positions of the above-mentioned authorised region and/or unauthorised region; e) making available an alarm indication depending on the results of the comparison.

A total property security system may be implemented to conduct security and surveillance operations. The system includes security operations centers that are connected to one or more sensors and vehicles for collecting and transmitting surveillance data to a database hosted on cloud services. The collected surveillance data is analyzed in order to automatically deploy security measures and/or recommend courses of action using a rules engine that can be configured to client-specific or user-specific security needs. The cloud services can provide a set of application program interface services that can act on the surveillance operations center. Sensor fusion data and other surveillance data can be also transmitted to vetted monitoring service providers on a subscription basis to provide physical security services to the area within the property perimeter. During the subscription period, the selected monitoring service providers can obtain time-based encryption token for accessing surveillance data.

Disclosed is a method of identifying an object using at least one imaging. The method comprises acquiring calibration information for each of the imaging device arranged substantially perpendicular to a planar surface of the object, capturing an image of the planar surface using each of the imaging device, generating a transformed image corresponding to each image of the planar surface, using the calibration information of the imaging device used for capturing each image, generating a security map for each transformed image, wherein the security map comprises a weightage factor for each pixel of the transformed image, and wherein the weightage factor is based on image resolution of the transformed image, and constructing a resultant image of the planar surface using each transformed image and the security map for the transformed image, to identify the object.

A scanner is provided having an integrated or retrofitted amber filter placed in front of white illumination LEDs. When an object/item is placed within a field of view of a lens of the scanner, the white illumination LEDs are illuminated and pass through the amber filter, which filters out light in the light spectrum of approximately 340-500 nm. The object/item is illuminated with light approximately above 500 nm and reflected back through a portion of the lens that covers an imaging sensor resulting in an object/item image in the light spectrum approximately above 500 nm, which improves the user experience by removing the glaring blue light component of the white LEDs illumination while not impacting the performance of the object/item recognition when processed for a transaction being conducted at a transaction terminal that is interfaced to the scanner.

A computer system for recycling value instruments in an automated teller machine has a memory storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the system to receive an image of a value instrument obtained by an automated teller machine for deposit. The image of the value instrument is analyzed to determine its condition. Then, based on the condition of the value instrument, it may be determined that the value instrument is suitable for recycling to fulfill withdrawals. Upon determining that the value instrument is suitable for recycling to fulfill withdrawals, recycling of the value instrument by the automated teller machine is initiated and an indication reflecting the recycling is generated so as to influence when a next servicing of the automated teller machine will occur. Related methods and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Provided is a real-time intelligent advertisement delivery method based on license plate information reporting and license plate recognition, wherein a rear vehicle is identified through recognition of a rear vehicle license plate number, and customized content delivery is performed on the vehicle from a front vehicle or surrounding vehicles/devices. Therefore, a personalized projection effect is realized.

One example system for insect detection includes a block of material defining a transit opening and a sensing opening, the transit opening defined along a first axis in a first direction, and the sensing opening defined to provide a light path to traverse a cross-section of the transit opening; a light emitter positioned at a first end of the sensing opening and oriented to project light through the sensing opening and across the transit opening; and a plurality of light detectors positioned at a second end of the sensing opening and oriented to receive the projected light and to output detector signals based on an amount of detected light.

A vehicular camera calibration system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The camera calibration system utilizes an intrinsic parameter of the camera and uses a kinematic model of motion of the vehicle that is determined at least in part via processing of multiple frames of captured image data. The camera calibration system, responsive to processing of multiple frames of image data captured by the camera as the vehicle moves along a path of travel, and based at least in part on (i) an intrinsic parameter of the camera and (ii) the kinematic model of motion of the vehicle, determines misalignment of the camera. The camera calibration system determines camera misalignment without use of a fiducial marker in the field of view of the camera as the vehicle moves along the path of travel and without use of reference points on the vehicle.

A method, system and computer program for confirming proper medication amount for a medication injection apparatus. The computer program causes a computer to perform the steps of providing one or more instructions on a display of a computing device instructing placement of an injectable medication apparatus including an indication of an amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus, imaging by an image capture one or more images of the injectable medication apparatus including the indication of the amount of medication, and comparing by a processor of the computing device through recognition of the indication of the amount of medication, the indicated amount to a predetermined amount. One or more additional instructions may be provided on the display of the computing device to change the indication of the amount of medication if it is determined that the recognized indicated amount does not match the predetermined amount.

The invention relates to a method for determining a start of relaxation (t.sub.R) when switching over an optical display device (1) controllable pixel by pixel from a burn-in image (EB′) to a relaxation image (RB), wherein. A trigger image area (TB) having at least one image pixel is set to pixel values such that a parameter determined based on the at least one pixel value across the trigger image area (TB) differs between the burn-in image (EB′) and the relaxation image (RB). The local distribution of a greyscale value is continuously recorded by means of a camera (3, 13). A trigger subfield (20) comprising at least one sensor pixel (15) is defined matching the trigger image area (TB). A trigger parameter (T) is continuously determined from the pixel values of the at least one sensor pixel (15) in the trigger subfield (20) with a trigger clock rate and the start of relaxation (t.sub.R) is determined as the point in time at which the continuously determined trigger parameter (T) crosses the trigger threshold value (T.sub.S). The invention furthermore relates to a device and a method for determining the burn-in behavior of a display device (1) as well as the use of such a method for a display (1) determined for application in a vehicle.
