  • Publication number: 20240422570
    Abstract: A system and method for positioning and installing a broadband antenna involves collecting land parcel information from various sources including laser imaging, detection and ranging (LIDAR) data to identify the shapes of buildings, vegetation, and other geographic features of a parcel, including the size, geocoordinates, height of each and their proximity to each other within the parcel, as well as their proximity to other buildings, vegetation and other geographic features on other parcels or open space. To overlay RF on each parcel, as well as the buildings and vegetation upon them, the details of each broadcast point are entered into the system. This information may include the geocoordinates of the location, the geocoordinates of each broadcast antenna, the azimuth of each broadcast antenna, elevation, tilt, antenna gain, transmit power, operating frequency range or channel, and any attenuation or loss associated with the hardware configuration, or the frequencies used.

  • Publication number: 20240214527
    Abstract: System and method for collection, control and display of cameras and images. Software may direct the cameras to targeted images automatically or manually. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be used to identify targets and automatically direct one or more cameras to focus on a target. Images taken by one or more cameras may then be stored and displayed for later viewing or live streamed. AI may be used to analyze images (Hits) to (i) determine if such Hits are objects of interest; (ii) determine if the Hits are related to an existing Incident; (iii) if determining a Hit is related to an Incident, create a new Filter and associating the new Filter with the Incident; and (iv) if determining the Hit is unrelated to an Incident, create a new Filter, associate the Hit with the Filter and use such information to train the artificial intelligence.

  • Publication number: 20230064675
    Abstract: System and method for collection, control and display of cameras and images. Software may direct the cameras to targeted images automatically or manually. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be used to identify targets and automatically direct one or more cameras to focus on a target. Images taken by one or more cameras may then be stored and displayed for later viewing or live streamed. Images may be aggregated to create up to a three hundred sixty-degree (360) view. Images may be conventional, thermal or infrared. Image parameters, such as sharpness and gain, may be adjusted in real-time at the camera level or during post processing on merged/panorama images to provide a consistent merged image for the end user. One or more cameras may be controlled by clicking on an image, including the generated panoramic 360 image, or a map overlaid with images and other data. Three dimensional (3D) models may be created by the software from the images taken by the cameras.
