Smart optical sensor (SOS) hardware and software platform

摘要

An improved optical sensor comprising at least one optical camera for collecting intelligence data, a control station associated with at least one of said cameras for detecting activities to be monitored and for selectively activating at least one of said cameras, and a computerized data processing apparatus for substantially reducing data transmission bandwidth requirements by preprocessing at least some of said intelligence data at said camera site before transmission from said surveillance camera to one or more remote control stations.
