Description

As the proliferation of video sensors continues, it becomes increasingly difficult to simultaneously monitor available video feeds to extract meaningful information. While automated analytics tools help, there is value to having a single, integrated view of a scene - a composite of the available cameras. These cameras may have different resolutions, framerates, and fields of view while operating in different spectral bands. The ideal solution would incorporate the unique capabilities of these various sensors into a fused view that provides a better picture and more information than any individual feed. We have developed such an approach that incorporates image enhancement, quality analysis, and fusion to create a unified view of the scene based on multiple visible and/or infrared cameras.
