Multi-sensor geo-referenced surveillance system

Abstract

The miniaturization and cost reduction of sensors is encouraging its wide spreading and application in diverse usage areas. The use of multiple types of sensors can improve the current surveillance systems, by reducing false positives, extending the type of detected events and increasing system's redundancy. Also, geo-location is becoming more precise and available at lower costs, thus enabling its use in the surveillance of large areas where events can be geo-referenced and allowing the dynamic event handling based in its location. This paper describes a new surveillance system's architecture based in multi-sensor georeferenced events and in dynamic events handling. This system can contribute to an efficient response to events based on the location of events and security agents as well as reduce system fails with multiple sensors use.
