Abstract
A method for time alignment of sensor having a plurality of sensors for use in sensor data integration. A reference signal, with timestamp, is provided to each sensor. Output signals in response to the reference signal are identified and used to determine a time delay for response for the sensors. These time delays are stored applying time corrections to sensor data during sensor data integration used in event detection. An associated method of detecting events from sensor data from a plurality of sensors is disclosed. A threshold is determined for each of the sensors, such that a signal exceeding the threshold is identified as a potential sensor event. Potential sensor events from each sensor are detected and when potential events from at least two sensors fall within a predetermined time window this is identified to be a likely actual event.
