Abstract
Certain embodiments provide systems and methods for target image acquisition using sensor data. The system includes at least one sensor adapted to detect an event and generate a signal based at least in part on the event. The system also includes an imager obtaining an image of a target and target area based on a target tracking and recognition algorithm. The imager is configured to trigger image acquisition based at least in part on the signal from the sensor. The imager adjusts the target tracking and recognition algorithm based at least in part on sensor data in the signal. In certain embodiments, the imager may also adjust an image acquisition threshold for obtaining an image based on the sensor data.
