tems to generate actionable information

.

More than a simple Boolean logic integration , true sensor fusion analyzes real-time data alongside historical , locational , environmental , and clas- sification data before generat- ing an alarm

. When signal response data is synthesized between sensors from fence video analytic systems , nuisance alarms generat- ed by wind or debris as well as non-threat human activity are virtually eliminated , all while maintaining the highest prob- ability of detection .

Sensor fusion also reduces false alarms created by typical video systems .
