Abstract:

A system for analyzing sensed data. A triggering mechanism is responsive to the presence of a target. A sensor acquires sensed data of the target, for example, an image. A processor analyzes the sensed data to detect the target. The signals generated by the triggering mechanism and the sensor are reconciled. In the reconciliation of the signals, when a pair of signals each indicate the presence of the target within a predefined time period, a target data set corresponding to the pair of signals is generated. When the presence of the target is indicated by only one of the triggering mechanism and sensor, the detection of target or the failure to detect the target is more reliable is reconciled. If the signal indicating detection of the target is determined to be more reliable, a target data set is generated. A method for analyzing sensed data is also disclosed.
