SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING PATTERN MATCHING TO DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF DESIGNATED OBJECTS IN DIGITAL IMAGES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for using pattern matching to determine the presence of designated objects in digital images, the system comprising:
- one or more cameras set up to record events that take place in a region of interest; and
a processor in communication with said one or more cameras to perform a pattern matching process;
wherein the processor is to determine, based on the pattern matching process, a presence of at least one designated object and, upon determining a presence of the at least one designated object, select an action to be performed.

14. A method for using pattern matching to determine a presence of designated objects in digital images, said method comprising:
-
a pre-processing stage including generating digital signatures of source patterns; and matching a digital signature of a source pattern with a signature of a digital image to determine a presence of a designated object in the digital image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A method for tracking a moving object, said method comprising:
-
a. identifying a logo attached to said object in a frame of a video stream; b. determining positional information for said object; c. creating an instruction comprising said positional information that is used to activate an autonomous pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera that contains software that allows said PTZ camera to locate and automatically track said object throughout said PTZ camera'"'"'s field of view. - View Dependent Claims (19)
