Appeal No. 2003-1545
Application 09/292,499
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A method of monitoring, comprising the steps of:
providing a map of a monitored area;
detecting a reference image of the monitored area;
receiving operator input identifying a first region which
corresponds to a selected portion of the monitored area as viewed
in the reference image;
receiving operator input identifying a second region which
corresponds to the selected portion as viewed on the map;
defining warp transformation parameters for translating a
selected point in the first region into a corresponding point in
the second region;
detecting a further image of the area;
identifying a portion of the further image corresponding to
an object of interest;
selecting a first point near a lower end of the portion of
the further image which corresponds to the object of interest,
the first point being within the first region; and
carrying out a warp transformation of the first point from
the first region to the second region according to the defined
warp transform parameters in order to identify within the second
region a second point which corresponds to the first point and
which identifies a position on the map of the object of interest.
