Abstract: A video monitoring system captures image frames of a patient in various positions. The captured image frames are analyzed by the system for changes in a patient's position or movement, frames in which the system detects one or both of patient movement and repositioning are retained. The system analyzes an area of interest within each image frame that corresponds to an area in the camera's view field with the patient. Sequential image frames are compared for motion, only frames without motion, where the patient is still, are analyzed.

Abstract: A patient fall prediction system from noise corrected surveillance video by identifying patient fall risk states. A hierarchy of discrete patient fall risk states, from no risk, to intermediate risk to critical risk, describe a patient fall risk. The system transitions from state to state based on changes detected in corresponding areas between a current video frame and a background frame. A set of fall risk state transition rules govern the entry into new fall risk states. A video frame is subdivided into multiple predetermined areas, at least two contain images of the patient. The number of false alarms are reduced by accurately defining fall risk state transition rules and by reducing the opportunity for noise to impact the state transition results. Frames that contain new changes are excluded from fall risk state processing, i.e., the first video frame that might cause an erroneous elevated fall risk state is culled.

Abstract: A patient fall prediction system receives video image frames from a surveillance camera positioned in a patient's room and analyzes the video image frames for movement that may be a precursor to a patient fall. In set up phase, the viewpoint of the camera is directed at a risk area associated with patient falls, beds, chairs, wheelchairs, etc. A risk area is defined graphically in the viewport. The patient fall prediction system generates a plurality of concurrent motion detection zones that are situated proximate to the graphic markings of the risk areas. These motion detection zones are monitored for changes between video image frames that indicate a movement. The pattern of detections is recorded and compared to a fall movement detection signature. One fall movement detection signature is a sequential detection order from the motion detection zone closest to the risk area in the frames associated with patient falls, to the motion detection zone farthest away from the risk area.

Abstract: A system and method provide comprehensive and highly automated testing of vulnerabilities to intrusion on a target network, including identification of operating system, identification of target network topology and target computers, identification of open target ports, assessment of vulnerabilities on target ports, active assessment of vulnerabilities based on information acquired from target computers, quantitative assessment of target network security and vulnerability, and hierarchical graphical representation of the target network, target computers, and vulnerabilities in a test report. The system and method employ minimally obtrusive techniques to avoid interference with or damage to the target network during or after testing.
