Adaptive multi-modal integrated biometric identification detection and surveillance systems
First Claim
1. A surveillance method comprising;
- using at least one event sensor disposed in a security area of a surveillance region to sense an occurrence of a potential security breach event, the surveillance region having multiple areas;
using a first camera, with a view of a first area in the surveillance region in which the event is sensed, to gather subject biometric information concerning at least a first person in the first area at a first time that corresponds to the time of the sensing of the event;
producing a subject dossier corresponding to the first person in response to sensing the occurrence of the event, the subject dossier including the subject biometric information;
using at least a second camera, with a view of a second area in the surveillance region, to gather additional biometric information concerning persons in a second area at a second time that differs from the first time;
matching the additional biometric information for one of the persons captured by at least the second camera with the corresponding subject biometric information in the subject dossier for the first person.

Abstract
A surveillance system is provided that includes at least one sensor disposed in a security area of a surveillance region to sense an occurrence of a potential security breach event; a plurality of cameras is disposed in the surveillance region; at least one camera thereof has a view of the security area and can be configured to automatically gather biometric information concerning at least one subject person in the vicinity of the security area in response to the sensing of a potential security breach event; one or more other of the plurality of cameras can be configured to search for the at least one subject person; a processing system is programmed to produce a dossier corresponding to the at least one subject person to match biometric information of one or more persons captured by one or more of the other cameras with corresponding biometric information in the dossier.

21. A surveillance system comprising:
-
at least one sensor disposed in a security area of a surveillance region to sense an occurrence of a potential security breach event, the surveillance region having multiple areas; a plurality of cameras; wherein a first camera of the plurality of cameras has a view of a first area in the surveillance region and can be configured to automatically gather subject biometric information concerning at least a first subject person in the first area at a first time in response to the sensing of a potential security breach event in the security area; wherein one or more other of the plurality of cameras, with a view of a second area in the surveillance region, can be configured to search for persons in the second area at a second time that differs from the first time to gather additional biometric information; a processing system; wherein the processing system is programmable to produce a subject dossier corresponding to the first subject person, the subject dossier including the subject biometric information; and wherein the processing system is programmable to match the addition biometric information for one of the persons captured by the one or more of the other cameras with corresponding subject biometric information in the subject dossier for the first person. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
