  • Traffic surveillance system and process
    Patent number: 7953546
    Abstract: A traffic control system to control passage of objects through of an intersection. The system can include a means for viewing for capturing images having a pixel with sensors for detecting at least four points in the frequency spectrum. The system can include a marker means for determining a location and field of view of the means for viewing. The system can include a computer with algorithms to process images to provide information about objects. Parameters of the objects can be used to for determine a protocol for allowing objects to pass through the intersection. The invention also relates to a process for regulating movement of bodies including: capturing images, comparing captured images to a known image to determine information about bodies, determining a protocol for allowing the bodies to pass through the intersection, and operating a control signal to allow the discrete bodies to pass through the intersection.

  • Marker means for determining direction and zoom of a means for viewing
    Patent number: 7860640
    Abstract: A system for determining a direction and a magnification of a means for viewing is described herein. The system can have a means for viewing, a marker means, and a processor in communication with a data storage. The means for viewing can have a means for viewing longitude, a means for viewing latitude, a means for viewing height, and a field of view. The system can have a marker means disposed within the field of view, and the marker means can have a certain point, which has a marker means longitude, a marker means latitude, and a marker means height. The marker means can have a first area of a certain shape and of at least one color.

  • Traffic signal light control system and method
    Patent number: 7689347
    Abstract: An apparatus or system and method to control traffic at an intersection which uses a digital camera with pan, tilt, zoom, fast position and autofocus to send information to an integrated central processing unit having image processing algorithms which evaluate and analyze less than the entire image to determine whether a vehicle(s) is (are) present or are approaching and its (their) size, speed and distance in order to solve logical propositions to maintain or change the right of way by signal to a conventional traffic control signal unit.
