Abstract

Provided is a method for detecting the trajectories of one or more targets in the field of view of one or more sensors, the method comprising: receiving one or more sensor frames corresponding to the one or more sensors; defining a space of allowable target states for the one or more sensor frames; specifying a set of potential target trajectories, each comprising one allowable target state for each of the one or more sensor frames; specifying target signal parameters for each of the allowable target states, such that the target signal parameters predict the expected target signal contribution corresponding to the one or more sensor frames; specifying a data fidelity objective to quantify how well the target signal parameters match the one or more sensor frames; specifying a sequence of one or more sparsity objectives to penalize a number of detected targets; determine the trajectories of one or more targets as follows: obtain values for all the target signal parameters in all the sensor frames, the obtained values being initialized values or previously optimized values, for each sparsity objective of the sequence, starting with the obtained target signal parameters, determine new target signal parameters to optimize the sum of the data fidelity objective and the sparsity objective; and storing the final trajectories in memory.

The imaging device may be configured to collect and transmit key frames at a lower rate, and collect and transmit delta or event frames at a higher rate. The key frames may include a full image of a scene, captured by the pixel array. The delta frames may include sparse data, captured by pixels that have detected meaningful changes in received light intensity. High speed, low transmission bandwidth motion image video can be reconstructed using the key frames and the delta frames.
