Title:
TACTICAL MOBILE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/054243
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for inspection of the undercarriage of a vehicle. The system may comprise a mobile unit 10 or a stationary unit 50 configured to fit in a space below the vehicle for gathering and transmitting data, images and or recordings, of the undercarriage of the vehicle. The system comprises at least one camera 22 and preferably a plurality of cameras and at least one light source 24 and preferably a plurality of light sources mounted on a device configured to fit in the space below a vehicle without hindering the inspection of the undercarriage of the vehicle. Photoelectric lasers or laser scanning systems may also be incorporated into the device. Data gathered by the cameras and/or laser systems can be transmitted to a controller 30 and in some embodiments compared to standard data for recognition and potentially warning of an unexpected condition of the undercarriage without requiring physical human inspection.
