  • Object tracking system for monitoring a controlled space
    Patent number: 5973732
    Abstract: An object tracking system used for monitoring objects as they traverse a controlled space provides for efficient processing and creates a "database output" which includes the direction each object has traveled along with an identification of the specific time at which this object was counted. The system provides for efficient processing through pixel blocking and the use of a crop box to minimize the analysis required.

  • Person and object recognition system
    Patent number: 5305390
    Abstract: A system for automatically recognizing persons or objects as they move past a selected location and for classifying the persons or objects in accordance with selected criteria. The system includes emitters for emitting beams toward a person or object moving past a selected location to generate reflected beams from the person or object. The included angle of the emitted and reflected beam is a function of the height of the person or object. A detector detects the reflected beams and generates signals representative of the included angle, and thus representative of a time-dependent height profile of the person or object from which the beams are reflected. The person or object is classified according to selected criteria.
