  • Target detection and mapping using an image acqusition device
    Patent number: 11039044
    Abstract: A system for providing a geographical location for a detected moving object is presented. The system comprises a camera configured to capture a first image of a field of view at a first time, and a second image of a field of view at a second time. The field of view includes a moving object. The system also comprises a processor configured to receive the first and second images of the field of view, index the first and second images based on an associated timestamp, and provide the first and second images to a nonvolatile storage medium. The system also comprises a change detection module configured to compare the first and second images and detect the moving object. The system also comprises a position identification module configured to calculate and provide the geographical location for the detected moving object, based on a known location of the camera, and a calibration of the field of view. The system also comprises a display, configured to receive an updated display feed from the processor.
