System And Methods For Capturing Images Of An Event
First Claim
1. A system for capturing images of an event, comprising at least one data correlator, the data correlator being operable to:
- receive still images captured by a camera and to receive identification/time pairs from a sensor, each identification/time pair including an identity of at least one respective object and a time that the at least one respective object was within the camera'"'"'s field of view, andautomatically correlate the still images with identities of respective objects included in the still images by correlating an identity of at least one respective object of each identification/time pair to a still image that is closest in time to a time of the identification/time pair.

Abstract
A system for capturing images of an event includes at least one data correlator. The data correlator is operable to receive still images captured by a camera and to receive identification/time pairs from a sensor. Each identification/time pair includes an identity of at least one respective object and a time that the at least one respective object was within the camera'"'"'s field of view. The data correlator is operable to automatically correlate the still images with identities of respective objects included in the still images by correlating an identity of at least one respective object of each identification/time pair to a still image that is closest in time to a time of the identification/time pair.

6. A system for capturing images of an event, comprising at least one image capture subsystem, each image capture subsystem including:
-
a camera having a field of view for periodically capturing still images within the camera'"'"'s field of view; a sensor for detecting objects within the camera'"'"'s field of view and for generating a respective identification/time pair for each detected object, each identification/time pair including an identity of a respective object and a time that the sensor detected the respective object; and a data correlator coupled to the camera and the sensor, the data correlator being operable to receive the still images captured by the camera and the identification/time pairs generated by the sensor, the data correlator operable to automatically correlate the still images with identities of respective objects included in the still images by correlating an identity of each identification/time pair to a still image that is closest in time to a time of the identification/time pair. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method for correlating a still image with an identity of an object pictured in the still image, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an identification/time pair including the object'"'"'s identity and a time that the object was detected by a sensor; identifying a respective still image having a time stamp closest in time to the time of the identification/time pair; and outputting the identified still image. - View Dependent Claims (37)

38. A software product comprising instructions, stored on a computer-readable medium, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, perform steps for correlating a still image with an identity of an object pictured in the still image, the steps comprising:
-
receiving an identification/time pair including the object'"'"'s identity and a time that the object was detected by a sensor; identifying a respective still image having a time stamp closest in time to the time of the identification/time pair; and outputting the identified still image.
