Abstract-For the online and offline classification of printed circuit boards and SMD components mounted on the board a sensor evaluation of optical sensors with different characteristics is presented. In overall a high resolution multispectral camera, a DSLR, an IP camera, and the RGB sensor of the Asus Xtion Pro Live have been evaluated for 2D images. For the 3D acquisition the Asus Xtion Pro Live is compared to the Bluetechnix M100 time of flight sensor. The sensor analysis shows the affected recognition performance of printed circuit boards and SMD components. Based on the sensor comparison, a pilot plant for the recycling of electronics waste is presented.

Modern surveillance systems embody more stationary and mobile sensors, actuators and analytics software to cover wider areas of surveillance thus leading to more complex surveillance systems than ever before. As the systems tap into larger areas of surveillance, automation will also play a more significant role in intelligently reacting to threatening events. To tackle complexity, intelligent filtering and alarm semantic enrichment mechanisms for alarms are required to allow security personnel to concentrate on important events instead of redundant and meaningless alarms. Additionally, an automated planner is required to provide optimal solutions on reacting to events occurring in the surveillance area. In this paper we present a software component capable of spatio-temporal reasoning and planning to be integrated with a third generation surveillance system. The Milestone XProtect platform is utilized as an example legacy surveillance system.
