Problems solved by technology

Many traditional camera-based systems cannot effectively distinguish real objects of interest from spurious objects (e.g., insects or spider webs) or environmental changes (e.g., changes in the lighting environment regardless of other changes in the environment or background) ( For example, people, cars) the fact that the problem is more prominent

Abstract

Various techniques are disclosed for smart surveillance camera systems and methods using thermal imaging to intelligently control illumination and monitoring of a surveillance scene. For example, a smart camera system may include a thermal imager, an IR illuminator, a visible light illuminator, a visible / near IR (NIR) light camera, and a processor. The camera system may capture thermal images of the scene using the thermal imager, and analyze the thermal images to detect a presence and an attribute of an object in the scene. In response to the detection, various light sources may be selectively operated to illuminate the object only when needed or desired, with a suitable type of light source, with a suitable beam angle and width, or in otherwise desirable manner. The visible / NIR light camera may also be selectively operated based on the detection to capture or record surveillance images containing objects of interest.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 545,056, filed October 7, 2011, entitled "NON-UNIFORMITY CORRECTION TECHNIQUES FOR INFRAREDIMAGING DEVICES," which is incorporated by reference in its entirety at this. technical field [0003] One or more embodiments of the invention relate generally to infrared imaging devices, and more particularly, for example, to intelligently controlling lighting and surveillance operations of surveillance camera systems using thermal images. Background technique [0004] Many conventional cameras (eg, surveillance cameras) use constant active illumination from visible or infrared light sources. Unfortunately, such light sources can attract various types of insects, which can significantly reduce the quality and ability of such cameras to provide useful images of the scene. For example, cobwebs may accumulate on or near the front of the camera, an...
