Object recognition and tracking system
First Claim
1. An object recognition and tracking system including at least one detector array, the or each detector array including a first type of detector and a second type of detector, the first type of detector being adapted to detect the presence of an object in a detector space and to define the object'"'"'s position, the second type of detector being adapted to use the defined object position to identify or recognize the object or to count or to record the presence of the object if it is of a selected type, the first detector and the second detector being the same detector, the second detector focussing or operating at a higher resolution than the first detector.

Abstract
An object recognition and tracking system having detector arrays (60, 70), each detector array (60, 70) including a first type of detector (95) and a second type of detector (96). The first type of detector (95) detects the presence of an object such as by changing contrast boundaries and hence objects (91, 92) that move in a detector space (90) and the second type of detector (96) focuses in on the defined object (91, 92) and to recognize, identify or record it. The detectors (95, 96) may be video, radar, microwave, radio frequency, infrared, millimeter wave, or transponder interrogators or a combination of these. Tracking of objects (91, 92) between adjoining detector spaces (90, 90) may also be done.
