1. A system for capturing data of a scene, the system comprising:
- a. a first sensor, measuring temperature, providing a first data set provided in an array format;
b. a second sensor, measuring distance, providing a second data set provided in an array format; and
c. data manipulation means using at least said second data set to support enhanced data computations performed on the first data set to adapt the first data set by filtering or averaging first data set pixels to generate said scene data;
wherein said adapting of part of said first data set is based on recalculating part of said data set by filtering first data set pixels, wherein as part of said adapting of part of said first data set the original pixel temperature data in said first data set is split in a plurality of depth neighborhood class temperatures, based on said second data set.

Abstract
The invention relates to sensor systems and related data manipulation methods and software and use thereof, for instance amongst others, in surveillance systems, e.g. fall detection, more in particular systems and methods for capturing data of a scene is provided, comprising a first sensor, providing a first data set; a second sensor, spatially arranged with respect to the first sensor in a predetermined arrangement, the second sensor providing a second data set; and data manipulation means using said first and/or second data set to support enhanced data computations on one or both of said data sets to generate said scene data.

8. A system for capturing data of a scene, the system comprising:
-
a. a first sensor, measuring temperature, providing a first data set provided in an array format; b. a second sensor, measuring distance, providing a second data set provided in an array format; and c. data manipulation means using at least said second data set to support enhanced data computations performed on the first data set to adapt the first data set by filtering or averaging first data set pixels to generate said scene data;
wherein said adapting of part of said first data set is based on recalculating part of said data set by filtering first data set pixels;
wherein said adapting of part, or whole, of said first data set is based on recalculating part of said data set by weighted averaging first data set pixels, whereby the weight factors are based on said second data set;
wherein the data manipulation means is capable to distinguish a plurality of objects, based on said second data set;
wherein said adapting of part of said first data set is based on recalculating part of said data set by assigning energy contributions in the first data set to objects, said assigning being based on said second data set. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
