Abstract
Sensor fusion has been widely adopted in the last couple of years, especially in the automobile industry. Their main goal is to gain a more robust system and increase security by e.g. predicting and preventing collisions.

Surveillance systems, based on video motion detection, face similar issues by having numerous problems with false triggers, particularly when there are big variations in the lighting of the scene, e.g. shadows or light beams. To address this issue, the effect of adding a radar sensor, whilst the video system is used as a black box, is investigated.

There exists a presentiment that the amount of detections that are identified should not decrease noteworthy, as the two different systems complement each other. The... (More)

Popular Abstract
To be able to rely on your surveillance system is of great importance. If you invest in a surveillance system to guard your premises, you want to be certain that the system detects all trespassers. However, if there are too many false alarms it might create a ''boy who cried wolf'' situation and you can become reluctant to react. Could a video surveillance system be more reliable when it's combined with a radar sensor?
