Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for monitoring an object-of-interest within a region involve receiving at least data from two sources monitoring a region and correlating that data to determine that an object-of-interest depicted or represented in data from one of the sources is the same object-of-interest depicted or represented in data from the other source. Metadata identifying that the object-of-interest from the two sources is the same object-of-interest is then stored for later use in, for example, object tracking.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting a person in a room using a sensor, such as a radar sensor or depth cameras is provided. The method can be used to detect sleeping persons in a publically accessible location to prevent loitering. Furthermore, the method can be used to identify which rooms amongst a plurality of rooms are occupied, for example changing rooms.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for classifying and/or detecting objects using visible and invisible light images. A visible light image and an invisible light image are received at a convolutional neural network (CNN). The visible light image depicts a region-of-interest imaged using visible light. The invisible light image depicts at least a portion of the region-of-interest imaged using invisible light, and at least one of the images depicts an object-of-interest within the portion of the region-of-interest shared between the images. The CNN then classifies and/or detects the object-of-interest using the images. The CNN may be trained to perform this classification and/or detection using pairs of visible and invisible light training images.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises detecting, with a presence detector such as a radar device, a presence of a person at a location such as an ATM vestibule. In response thereto, a timer is initiated. After initiating the timer, a portal sensor is used to detect a change in a status of a portal permitting access to the location. In response thereto, the timer is adjusted (for example the timer is reset). Thus, multiple consecutive normal usages of the vestibule do not unnecessarily trigger an alarm.

Abstract: An electronic movement-controlled apparatus that includes a camera and a movable arm is disclosed. The movable arm has both a stationary end and a movable end with the camera being attached to the movable end so as to be movable therewith. The stationary end is configured to be coupled to a rigid support structure. The movable arm includes a plurality of arm segments connected in series to form the movable arm. The arm segments are configured to have cooperating segment regions in terms of each of the arm segments being compressible and expandable in unison to move the movable end and effect a pan and tilt movement of the camera.

Abstract: A surveillance drone is disclosed. The surveillance drone includes a gas-filled container and propellers for aerial mobility. The surveillance drone also includes an electronic surveillance sensing device positioned below the gas-filled container. The gas-filled container may be filled with a lighter than air gas such as, for example, helium.
