A method and a target monitoring system (TMS) to generate descriptive parameters of one or more target objects in a region are provided. The TMS dynamically receives first data comprising image data and/or audio data of the target objects in the region and second data comprising circumstantial information related to the first data from one or more sensors positioned in one or more spatial directions in the region over a network. The TMS filters the dynamically received first data and identifies the target objects in the region using image data extracted from the filtered data. The TMS generates descriptive parameters associated with each identified target object in the region using the filtered first data and the circumstantial information.

Methods and system for monitoring an environment

A method and apparatus is described that provides for switching active data connections from one processor to another processor without significantly interfering with the transmission of the data. The data may be voice calls and the processors may be DSPs residing on a voice processing module. A DSP resource allocation algorithm may be used to load share the data by selectively moving an active voice call currently being processed on one DSP to another DSP having sufficiently available processing power, without interrupting the prevailing service. The liberated DSP may then be used to process a new active voice call. By using the DSPs to load share, the number of simultaneous active voice calls supported by a voice processing module may be increased.
