Intrusion detection with directional sensing
First Claim
1. A method of intrusion detection, the method including:
- displaying sensing device output data as one or more images of a field of view of a sensing device;
defining at least one intrusion detection criterion via a graphical user interface by;
receiving user input to define and display an image detection area in relation to the one or more images of the field of view, wherein the image detection area is correlated to a detection area to be monitored by the sensing device for intrusion detection; and
receiving user input that defines a detection vector associated with the detection area, said detection vector specifying a predetermined minimum displacement and direction of displacement of a potential intruder in the field of view to be monitored,displaying a graphical representation of the detection vector on the image detection area;
detecting a target object; and
tracking the target object at least partially through the detection area and determining whether the progressive displacement of the target object has a component which exceeds the minimum displacement in the direction of the detection vector.

Abstract
A method and system of intrusion detection, which includes displaying sensing device output data as an image of a field of view of a sensing device. Through interaction with a GUI: a user input defines an image detection area in relation to the image of the field of view, the image detection area being correlated to a detection area to be monitored for intrusion detection. A user input defining a detection vector in the image detection area is received, specifying a predetermined minimum displacement and displacement direction in the field of view. A graphical representation of the vector may be displayed on the image detection area. A target object is detected and tracked through the detection area and it is determined whether the progressive displacement of the target object has a component exceeding the minimum displacement in the direction of the vector.
