Traditional close circuit television security cameras have a limited field of view, which enables an individual to avoid surveillance as the camera scans the area. Panoramic cameras are able to capture a wider field of view but at the cost of low resolution. This technology combines a wide-angle lens with a narrow angle lens to produce high-resolution video of areas of interest. With this technology powerful security and surveillance systems can be developed.
Image Detection Allows for High Resolution Zoom for Accurate Surveillance
While traditional wide-angle images compromise on image resolution, this technology includes a second imaging system to generate high-resolution video. This technology uses a wide-angle lens to capture a panoramic view of a scene being monitored. Specific regions of surveillance interest are determined by a motion detection system. The narrow lens imaging system then uses pan tilt zoom view adjustments to focus and highly resolve the region of interest.
A prototype of the technology has been tested and been shown to produce high-resolution video footage.
Applications:
- Surveillance and security monitoring for private residences
- Surveillance and security monitoring for commercial and public buildings
- Military reconnaissance
Advantages:
- Panoramic video footage for continuous monitoring of full scene
- High resolution imaging of regions of interest
- Automated image detection
