Patent number: 12609012Abstract: Systems and methods for surveillance of a facility including facility elements. The system includes a central computing unit providing a digital model of the facility providing topological or logical or functional relationships of the facility elements, surveillance sensors adapted for surveillance of a plurality of the facility elements and for generation of surveillance data, communication means for transmitting data from the surveillance sensors to the central computing unit, and state derivation means configured to analyse the surveillance data and derive a state of a respective facility element. The central computing unit is configured to record a state pattern by combining states of at least one facility element based on at least one relationship of the facility element provided by the facility model, provide a state pattern critical-noncritical classification model which considers relationships provided by the facility model, and perform a criticality-classification based on the relationship.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: HEXAGON INNOVATION HUB GMBHInventors: Bernhard Metzler, Barbara Haupt, Markus Kächele, Bernd Reimann, Stefan Martin Benjamin Gächter Toya, Alexandre Heili

Patent number: 12277772Abstract: Video surveillance system for assessment of customer ordering in a drive-through, wherein the video surveillance system having a first camera, a second camera, a network, a control unit, a computer vision unit. The first camera acquires a first image, the second camera acquires a second image. The computer vision unit has a calculating features for the first and second images. The computer vision unit a means for matching such features, wherein a vehicle is tracked by matching the first image and second images. The control unit computes a time span between the appearance of the vehicle appearing in the first image and appearing in the second image. The first and second cameras are arranged laterally to a side window of the vehicle, so that inside the vehicle is recorded at two time points.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: ADVANCED VIDEO ANALYTICS INTERNATIONAL AGInventors: Rudolf Hauke, Markus Kächele
