Security systems that protect the nation’s critical facilities must be capable of detecting physical intrusions in all weather conditions. Intrusion detection sensors in a perimeter with a high nuisance alarm rate (NAR) significantly undermine detection performance and degrade security system effectiveness. This research demonstrated a fused sensor system that can differentiate foliage and weather-induced nuisance alarms from those caused by intruders, providing reliable detection within a two-fence perimeter or beyond the fence. A key element of this work is the creation and application of a “deliberate motion algorithm” that fuses alarm data from radar and video analytics to create video motion detection fused radar system. The two-layer architecture of the algorithm uses machine learning, multi-hypothesis tracking, and Dynamic Bayes Nets to differentiate intruder alarms from weather induced alarms.
