Abstract
Described is system for surveillance that integrates radar with a panoramic staring sensor. The system captures image frames of a field-of-view of a scene using a multi-camera panoramic staring sensor. The field-of-view is scanned with a radar sensor to detect an object of interest. A radar detection is received when the radar sensor detects the object of interest. A radar message indicating the presence of the object of interest is generated. Each image frame is marked with a timestamp. The image frames are stored in a frame storage database. The set of radar-based coordinates from the radar message is converted into a set of multi-camera panoramic sensor coordinates. A video clip comprising a sequence of image frames corresponding in time to the radar message is created. Finally, the video clip is displayed, showing the object of interest.
