20080211909 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR IMAGE-BASED TRACKING OF SURVEILLANCE OBJECTS - In automatic assessment or surveillance with camera-based surveillance systems, it is of particular interest to detect moving surveillance objects, such as persons or motor vehicles, and track them over time so that if there are unusual trajectories or unusual behavior, an alarm can be tripped. An apparatus for image-based tracking of surveillance objects in front of a scene background in a surveillance scene is proposed, having an object segmentation module that is embodied for ascertaining moving object areas in front of the scene background on the basis of a comparison of one or more camera images with a reference image of the scene; having an administration module which is embodied for assigning surveillance objects to the moving object areas detecting fusion of two or more surveillance objects and marking them jointly as an object group; and having a feature detection module which is embodied in terms of programming and/or circuitry for determining local features for tracking the surveillance objects of the object group in the image areas defined by the moving object areas. | 09-04-2008 |
20080211910 | Surveillance Camera, Method For Calibrating the Surveillance Camera, and Use of the Surveillance Camera - Video monitoring systems are commonly used for monitoring streets, junctions, squares, and also public buildings, museums, prisons. Video monitoring systems which output the results for the viewing areas/objects in the scene in metric units, such as lengths in meters and speed in meters per second, or the absolute and/or relative positioning in a camera network, require knowledge of camera parameters such as e.g. the position, orientation, and aperture angle of the camera(s). These parameters are usually manually measured at high cost during the installation process, for example special patterns (sample patterns) are used, or people walking backwards and forwards in front of the camera.

20090060276 | METHOD FOR DETECTING AND/OR TRACKING OBJECTS IN MOTION IN A SCENE UNDER SURVEILLANCE THAT HAS INTERFERING FACTORS; APPARATUS; AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A method for detection and/or tracking of objects in motion | 03-05-2009 |
20100177936 | DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AND/OR CLASSIFYING MOVEMENT PATTERNS IN AN IMAGE SEQUENCE OF A SURVEILLANCE SCENE, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - The invention relates to video surveillance systems that are used, for example, for surveying public places, stations, streets, industrial estates, buildings or similar. Said video surveillance systems comprise one or more surveillance cameras that are oriented towards surveillance scenes and transfer image data streams, in the form of image sequences, to an evaluation centre. The invention also relates to a device ( | 07-15-2010 |
20100201821 | SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM HAVING STATUS DETECTION MODULE, METHOD FOR SELF-MONITORING OF AN OBSERVER, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - Monitoring systems typically comprise a plurality of monitoring cameras, which are disposed in different locations for monitoring one or more monitoring regions. Monitoring systems of said type are used, for example, to monitor places, inter-sections, buildings, libraries, train stations, factories, prisons, retirement homes and the like. The invention relates to a monitoring system ( | 08-12-2010 |
20100202688 | DEVICE FOR SEGMENTING AN OBJECT IN AN IMAGE, VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A device for segmenting an object in an image, in which a surveillance region containing one or more objects is depicted or depictable in image, has an estimating module which is designed to estimate a distance in the surveillance region based on a possible object pixel of object in image, a segmenting module which is designed to segment object containing object pixel according to a segmentation strategy, and a strategy module which is programmed and/or electronically configured to adapt the segmentation strategy to object depending on the estimated distance. | 08-12-2010 |

20110175738 | SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETECTING AND/OR TRACKING A SURVEILLANCE OBJECT - The invention relates to a monitoring system ( | 07-21-2011 |
20120207350 | APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF AN OBJECT QUEUE, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - In daily life, people are often forced to join a queue in order, for example, to pay at a checkout or to be dealt with at an airport, etc. Because of the various forms of a queue, these are not usually recorded automatically, but are analyzed manually. For example, if a long queue is formed at a supermarket, as a result of which the predicted waiting time for the customers rises above a threshold value, this situation can be identified by the checkout personnel, and a further checkout can be opened.
