Patent number: 10140832Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure may include an imaging system. The imaging system may include a controller that is adapted to determine behavior typical of an object within an environment. The imaging system may additionally monitor the object within the environment and detect when the object behaves anomalously within the environment. Upon detection of anomalous behavior, the controller may output an alarm and/or a response message.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: FLIR Systems, Inc.Inventors: Arthur Stout, John Distelzweig, Pieter Messely, Koen Janssens, Vu Nguyen

Patent number: 9998697Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods using small form factor infrared imaging modules to monitor occupants in an interior compartment of a vehicle. For example, a vehicle-mounted system may include one or more infrared imaging modules, a processor, a memory, alarm sirens, and a communication module. The vehicle-mounted system may be mounted on, installed in, or otherwise integrated into a vehicle with an interior compartment. The infrared imaging modules may be configured to capture thermal images of desired portions of the interior compartments. Various thermal image processing and analytics may be performed on the captured thermal images to determine the presence and various attributes of one or more occupants. Based on the determination of the presence and various attributes, occupant detection information or control signals may be generated. Occupant detection information may be used to perform various monitoring operations, and control signals may adjust various vehicle components.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: FLIR Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey D. Frank, Austin A. Richards, Victoria L. White, Nile E. Fairfield, Arthur Stout, David W. Lee, Nicholas Högasten, Theodore R. Hoelter, Katrin Strandemar

Patent number: 9843743Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for systems and methods using thermal imaging to monitor an infant or other persons that may need observation. For example, an infant monitoring system may include an infrared imaging module, a visible light camera, a processor, a display, a communication module, and a memory. The monitoring system may capture thermal images of a scene including at least a partial view of an infant, using the infrared imaging module enclosed in a portable or mountable housing configured to be positioned for remote monitoring of the infant. Various thermal image processing and analysis operations may be performed on the thermal images to generate monitoring information relating to the infant. The monitoring information may include various alarms that actively provide warnings to caregivers, and user-viewable images of the scene. The monitoring information may be presented at external devices or the display located remotely for convenient viewing by caregivers.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2013Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: FLIR Systems, Inc.Inventors: Earl R. Lewis, Andrew C. Teich, Jeffrey D. Frank, Arthur Stout, Nicholas Högasten, Theodore R. Hoelter, Katrin Strandemar
