Abstract: A crowd state characterization system utilizes a plurality of processors to analyze video streams from numerous videos to select videos and/or video frames of interest. The processors digitize dismounts such as pedestrians and the like and then analyze the digitized pedestrians. The frames of video are characterized in terms of entropy related to discordant motion and enthalpy related to energy. A selector can then select from among numerous videos to allow observation of videos numerically determined to be of interest.

Abstract: An array augmented parallax image enhancement system and method is used for creating an artificially large depth of field behind images of detritus, or obscurants, to augment spatial in-filling of the obscured pixels in the desired target image. A plurality of relatively small aperture cameras produces a plurality of raw video streams. An obscurant identification module detects and maps the obscurants. A spatial averaging module replaces the obscurants with target image pixels in an output video stream that is produced by combining the plurality raw video streams.
