Abstract
A multi-spectral imaging surveillance system and method in which a plurality of imaging cameras is associated with a data-processing apparatus. A module can be provided, which resides in a memory of said data-processing apparatus. The module performs fusion of a plurality images respectively generated by varying imaging cameras among said plurality of imaging cameras. Fusion of the images is based on a plurality of parameters indicative of environmental conditions in order to achieve enhanced imaging surveillance thereof. The final fused images are the result of two parts: an image fusion portion, and a knowledge representation part. For the final fusion, many operators can be utilized, which can be applied between the image fusion result and the knowledge representation portion.
