A surveillance method periodically detects an image of the area, identifies and tracks each moving object in a succession of the detected images, detects radio frequency emissions from the area and correlates an identified object with a detected radio frequency emission. The method detects events in the tracking of the moving object. The method stores corresponding data optionally including image data in non-volatile memory upon detection of a combination of an event and a corresponding radio frequency emission. The method triggers an alarm such as an audible alarm, a visual alarm, an email, a short text message or a telephone call detection of a combination of an event and a corresponding radio frequency emission.

Video surveillance correlating detected moving objects and RF signals

A method for generating digital filters for tuning a hearing aid to enhance hearing ability. Data is provided, for a range for a target response curve representative of enhanced hearing ability of sound level versus frequency. Second digital data is also generated, for an initial response curve or audiogram of an individual's hearing ability. The first digital data is compared with the second digital data and it is determined whether the initial response curve is within the tolerance range. If not, digital audio filters are iteratively generated, and the digital audio filters are applied to digital data representing received sound signals to generate third digital data to enhance hearing. Parameters of the digital audio filters are automatically optimized until the compensated response curve is within the tolerance range or a predetermined number of digital audio filters has been reached.
