US Patent:

20120307067, Dec 6, 2012
Filed:

Jun 1, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/150965
Inventors:

Henry Chen - Beijing, CN
Hao Bai - Beijing, CN
Tom Plocher - Hugo MN, US
Hari Thiruvengada - Plymouth MN, US
Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:

H04N 7/18
US Classification:

348159, 348E07085
Abstract:

A system for automatically determining the placement of cameras receives data relating to a plurality of polygons. T polygons represent one or more of a surveillance area, a non-surveillance area, a blank area, and an obstacle. The system selects one or more initial cameras, including one or more initial camera positions, initial camera orientations, and initial camera features, wherein the initial camera positions and the initial camera orientations cause one or more fields of view of the initial cameras to cover at least a part of the surveillance area. The system alters one or more of a number of cameras, an orientation of the cameras, a location of the cameras, a type of the cameras, and a crossover of two or more cameras. The system uses a fitness function to evaluate all of the cameras and all of the camera positions, and selects one or more cameras and the locations and orientations of the one or more cameras as a function of the fitness function.

US Patent:

20120307082, Dec 6, 2012
Filed:

Jun 3, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/153077
Inventors:

Hari Thiruvengada - Plymouth MN, US
Paul Derby - Lubbock TX, US
Tom Plocher - Hugo MN, US
Henry Chen - Beijing, CN
Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:

H04N 5/225
US Classification:

34820799, 348E05024
Abstract:

A system includes a video sensing device, a computer processor coupled to the video sensing device, and a display unit coupled to the computer processor. The system is configured to display on the display unit a live feed of a field of view of the video sensing device, and receive input to modify the field of view of the video sensing device by altering one or more of a pan, a tilt, and a zoom of the video sensing device. After receiving the input to modify the field of view of the video sensing device, the system replaces the live feed on the display unit with alternative video data. The display of the alternative video data occurs during a time period when the pan, tilt, and zoom of the video sensing device is being modified. The system redisplays on the display unit the live feed of the video sensing device after completion of the modification of the pan, tilt and zoom of the video sensing device.
