MONITORING OF PEOPLE AND OBJECTS

摘要

A method and apparatus for monitoring the movement and activity of targets is provided. The method comprises the steps of initially detecting electromagnetic (EM) radiation reflected by the target and recording spectral information relating to it and detecting EM radiation reflected by a target at a later time and again recording spectral information relating to it. The spectral information relating to the initially detected and later detected targets is then compared, so as to establish whether the initially detected and later detected targets are the same.
