A system for providing a geographical location for a detected moving object is presented. The system comprises a camera configured to capture a first image of a field of view at a first time, and a second image of a field of view at a second time. The field of view includes a moving object. The system also comprises a processor configured to receive the first and second images of the field of view, index the first and second images based on an associated timestamp, and provide the first and second images to a nonvolatile storage medium. The system also comprises a change detection module configured to compare the first and second images and detect the moving object. The system also comprises a position identification module configured to calculate and provide the geographical location for the detected moving object, based on a known location of the camera, and a calibration of the field of view. The system also comprises a display, configured to receive an updated display feed from the processor. The updated display feed comprises the second image, an indication of the detected moving object, and an indication of a location of the detected moving object.

Target detection and mapping using an image acqusition device

An alert and tracking system implemented on a computing device with a processor is presented. The system comprises a display with a viewing portion and a raster portion comprising a plurality of rasters. The system also comprises an image receiver configured to receive a first image and a second image, wherein the first image is received before the second image is received. The system also comprises a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to receive the second image. The processing unit is also configured to compare the second image to the first image. The processing unit is also configured to detect a change between the second image and the first image, wherein the detected change is indicative a moving object. The processing unit is also configured to update the viewing portion to display the second image. The processing unit is also configured to update the raster portion, wherein updating the raster image comprises adding a new raster to the plurality of rasters, wherein the new raster comprises a row of pixels corresponding to a compressed view of the image.

Moving object detection, tracking, and displaying systems

An unmanned vehicle control system is provided. In one embodiment, the control system comprises an image acquisition device configured to capture an image. A vehicle is configured to receive and execute a vehicle control command. A control device is configured to generate the vehicle control command. The control device comprises a display component, an input component and a processor. The display component is configured to present the image obtained from the image acquisition device. The input component is configured to receive an input, wherein the input at least references the obtained image. The processor is configured to obtain the image from the image acquisition device, analyze the received input, and generate the vehicle control command. A communication component is configured to facilitate transmission of the vehicle control command to the vehicle.

Video enabled inspection using unmanned aerial vehicles

Moving object detecting, tracking, and displaying systems are provided. Systems illustratively include a graphical user interface and a processing unit. The processing unit is a functional part of the system that executes computer readable instructions to generate the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may include an alert and tracking window that has a first dimension that corresponds to a temporal domain and a second dimension that corresponds to a spatial domain. In some embodiments, alert and tracking windows include target tracking markers. Target tracking markers optionally provide information about moving objects such as, but not limited to, information about past locations of moving objects and information about sizes of moving objects. Certain embodiments may also include other features such as zoom windows, playback controls, and graphical imagery added to a display to highlight moving objects.

Systems and methods for detecting moving objects are provided. Systems illustratively include an image acquisition component, an image processing component, and a display component. Image acquisition components capture image data over a wide spatial area. Image processing components have dedicated algorithms for change detection and receive captured image data from image acquisition components. Image processing components utilize the captured data and the dedicated algorithms to perform image change detection. Display components receive processed image data from image processing components and provide visual indications that items of interest have been detected. Methods illustratively include obtaining first and second images covering a wide field-of-view. The second image is registered to and compared to the first image. Based at least in part on the comparison, a moving object within the wide field-of-view is detected. An indication of the moving object is provided.

System for extending a field-of-view of an image acquisition device

Moving object detection

Systems for extending a field-of-view of an image acquisition device are provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a rotatable image-directing device, an actuator, and a controller. The rotatable image-directing device directs optical images along an optical image path. The actuator controls a position of the rotatable image-directing device, and the controller generates signals for synchronizing the rotatable image-directing device and the image acquisition device. The signals illustratively include a first signal that is transmitted to the actuator, and a second signal that is transmitted to the image acquisition device.

Infrared stationary lens systems for performing multi-dimensional scans of scenes are provided. Systems illustratively include a stationary lens, a first scan mirror, a second scan mirror, and at least one actuator. The stationary lens transmits infrared light and has an optical axis. The first scan mirror has a first axis and pivots about the first axis to direct images of a scene to the stationary lens along a first dimension. The second scan mirror has a second axis and is located in an optical path between the first scan mirror and the stationary lens. The second scan mirror pivots about the second axis to direct images of the scene to the stationary lens along a second dimension. At least one actuator controls the first and the second scan mirrors such that the first and the second scan mirrors step and stare across the multi-dimensional scan of the scene.

Multi-dimensional staring lens system

An image acquisition system for capturing images of a scene is provided. The system includes a stationary image acquisition device that receives optical images. A light-directing device directs images toward the image acquisition device. The light-directing device pivots about a pivot axis over a scan range that is less than 360 degrees.
