Abstract: A method of securing and extracting sequential sensor data includes scanning a volume with at least one electromagnetic sensor to obtain multiple scans. Each scan has at least one different characteristic to create a multiple scan sequence of the volume. At least one volume subset is extracted from the multiple scan sequence containing at least one event satisfying at least one predetermined criterion. The at least one volume subset is analyzed to classify the at least one event using predetermined characteristics.

Abstract: A control unit for use in a surveillance system is provided. The control unit is configured to access or retrieve surveillance data. The control is further configured to issue commands for control of a sensor device.

Abstract: A sensor unit for use in a surveillance system is provided. The sensor unit interfaces with a sensor device to receive sensor data from the sensor device. The sensor unit is configured to generate an event record based upon received sensor data. The event record is of a predetermined format and is output to a data unit.

Abstract: A system is provided for collecting surveillance data from one or more sensor units and incorporating the surveillance data into a surveillance database. The system is configured to retrieve surveillance data from the surveillance database and perform predetermined analytical functions on the data. The system is also configured to present surveillance data and the results of data analysis in one or more predetermined formats.

Abstract: An immersive scanning camera provides for a high speed imager to capture a scene of interest on a pixel by pixel basis. Distance data is collected for each pixel. This distance data is representative of the distance from the immersive camera of the object depicted by the pixel data.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for optical inertial measurement includes a body with an optical head mounted on the body. The optical head has at least one optical element creating an optical path to at least one viewing region. A sensor is in communication with the at least one optical element and adapted to receive images of the at least one viewing region. A processor is provided which is adapted to receive signals from the sensor and perform optical flow motion extraction of the at least one viewing region. The speed and direction of movement of the body and the orientation of the body in terms of pitch, roll and yaw being determined by monitoring the rate and direction of movement of pixel shift within the at least one viewing region, sequentially comparing consecutive images and calculating attitude.

Abstract: A digital light projection system is provided that includes a light pipe for generating and outputting a light beam. An input mirror is provided that is configured to receive a light beam from the light pipe and deflect it onto a digital mirror device (DMD). The DMD is configured to deflect the light beam onto an imaging mirror that is configured to image the light beam onto a flat mirror.
