Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a number of inventions directed, generally, to the application of image processing techniques to traffic data acquisition using video images. The inventions reside in a traffic monitoring system, the basic function of which is for traffic data acquisition and incident detection. More specifically, the application of image processing techniques for the detection of vehicle, from sequence of video images, as well as the acquisition of traffic data and detection of traffic incident. In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of processing images received from a video based traffic monitoring system. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a Region Of Interest (ROI) for detection of a moving vehicle and a further aspect is directed to a method of detecting day or night status in a traffic monitoring system. It's The application of various algorithms to a video based traffic monitoring system is also considered inventive.

Abstract: The invention comprises a monitoring and incident management system for an aircraft including an on-board system on the aircraft, an incident management center on the ground, and a redundant secure communications link between the on-board system and the incident management center. The on-board system includes components that assist the aircraft crew in identifying and defending against potential threats to the aircraft, such as suspicious passenger activity. The incident management has access to a wide variety of information concerning the aircraft and activities taking place on the aircraft, as well as the ability to transmit commands to the on-board system. The on-board system includes a cockpit door module that combines double-doors and biometric identification to prevent unauthorized access to the cockpit.
