Abstract :
The video imaging system for detection, tracking, and assessment (VISDTA) is an automatic scanning, wide area, surveillance sensor with built-in change detection and video motion detection features. Recent modifications and performance improvements are described in terms of environmental and mechanical ruggedness, and detection probability. In addition, a VISDTA expansion is described that could convert many fixed-view cameras into change-detection sensors and further into video motion detection (VMD) devices. This modification proposes easy addition of VMD capability to many existing installations. A summary is included of the efforts to transfer VISDTA technology to industry
