Definitions
- the invention relates to an open-air surveillance system with a terrain strip to be monitored and with masts set up along the terrain strip for mounting lighting fixtures and television cameras, which are connected to an image evaluation device.
- Outdoor areas with facilities to be protected are generally fenced and are checked from time to time.
- it is known to illuminate a strip of land surrounding the open-air site to be monitored, generally the strip of land immediately adjacent to the fence, and to monitor it by means of television cameras installed on masts.
- the television channels of the many television cameras must then be checked. This can lead to the fact that the crossing of the terrain strip to be monitored is overlooked because the surveillance personnel are watching another television monitor.
- the continuous observation of a large number of television monitors with constantly similar image information is tiring and leads to poor concentration.
- This image evaluation system detects deviations from recorded image contents compared to pre-stored image contents. In the event of deviations between the stored and the recorded image content, this image evaluation system is capable of automatically triggering a function.
- DE-A-2 439 102 describes a method for storing images taken and digitized with a television camera, in which the coordinates of the brightness or color changes and the lengths measured in the direction of the television lines are stored until the next brightness or color change .
- a method for storing images taken and digitized with a television camera in which the coordinates of the brightness or color changes and the lengths measured in the direction of the television lines are stored until the next brightness or color change .
- only the relevant pixels in which brightness or color changes of the stored target image manifest themselves need to be compared with those of the actual image to be examined for image evaluation. Setpoint and actual value differences can then lead to an automatic signal triggering.
- DE-A-2 949 580 discloses how images recorded by a television camera can be processed so that it can be examined in a simplified manner whether predetermined structures are contained in the recorded image. To do this, the image is divided into grid sections. In the individual raster sections, the individual signal jumps are counted and transferred to a signal jump memory, the cells of which are each assigned to a raster step. The pixels within the raster sections at which the signal jumps occur are determined by means of a pixel counter, which adds up pulses of constant clock frequency during the scanning of each raster section. Its status is transferred to a pixel memory when a signal jump occurs.
- An evaluation device calls up the values contained in the signal jump memory in the order in which they were stored, adds up the received values and, if the received value lies in a range of values predetermined on the basis of the structure to be determined, the number formed by adding up the received values to the address input of the pixel memory and evaluates the contents of the pixel memory cells called up in this way.
- a division of the video image of a terrain strip to be monitored into a number of cells approximately adapted to the size of a man is known from US Pat. No. 4,249,207. Changes in the values of the cells are detected. Changes in, for example, three neighboring cells in a certain direction then indicate a moving object. With such a system, the type of the moving object cannot be recognized. When used in the open air, for example, the moving shadow of a cloud would trigger a false alarm.
- the object of the present invention is to point out a way in which processes relevant to the monitoring can be automatically detected and displayed in the terrain strip to be monitored.
- irrelevant processes for monitoring such as the sudden covering of the sun by clouds, climatic changes, e.g. Snow or rain, as well as other natural events, such as falling leaves in autumn, are displayed or trigger a false alarm.
- the terrain strip according to the invention therefore consists of at least three control strips aligned parallel to one another, each of which has a different gray value, and the lighting fixtures and television cameras assigned to the same area strip area are arranged several meters above the control strip.
- crossing with a body of any gray value in at least one control strip leads to a change in the gray value.
- this also creates the prerequisite for gray value changes that are caused by the climate or are generated by other natural events, to be distinguished from such gray value changes that arise when crossing the strip of land.
- the detection sensitivity can be increased considerably if, in a particularly advantageous development of the invention, the lighting fixtures assigned to a certain terrain strip area on the one hand and the television cameras assigned to the same terrain strip area on the other hand form an opening angle of more than 10 ° with one another as seen from this terrain strip area.
- the television cameras not only detect the gray value of the penetrating object that deviates from a control strip, but also the shadow of this object on the individual control strips in the dark.
- the figure shows a section of an inventive, automatically monitored area strip surrounding an outdoor area to be protected.
- an outdoor area 1 to be monitored can be seen on the left-hand side. This is delimited by a guarded area strip 2 fenced on both sides with respect to an unsecured area 3 located to the right of the area strip.
- the area strip 2 surrounding the outdoor area to be monitored is secured on the side adjacent to the outdoor area with a wire fence 4 which is as tall as a man and secured against climbing.
- the area strip 2 is only secured with a game protection fence 5.
- masts 6, 7, 8 are set up which carry lighting fixtures 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and television cameras 15, 16, 17 aligned on the terrain strip 2.
- the television cameras are aligned with a part of the terrain strip 2 located to the side of the respective mast.
- Her cone forms an acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the strip of land. This allows a larger area to be monitored with fewer television cameras.
- the two lighting elements of each mast illuminate the area of the strip of land located below and to the side of the mast.
- the mutual distance between the individual masts is designed such that the areas 18, 19, 20 of the terrain strip 2 monitored by the individual television cameras 15, 16, 17 overlap over their entire width.
- control strips 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 are applied to the strip of land, which extend parallel to one another along the strip of land 2.
- the control strips are on both sides towards the respective fence 4, 5 of another narrow, with low planting, such as Grass covered strips of terrain 26, 27 edged.
- the individual control strips 21 to 25 in the illustration of the figure are constructed from left to right as follows:
- the first control strip 21 facing the fenced open area 1 is about 0.8 m wide and covered with river gravel.
- a control strip 22, 0.6 m wide which is covered with quartz gravel.
- another 1.0 m wide control strip 23 which in turn is covered with river gravel.
- Two 0.3 m high walls 28, 29 are erected along the 0.45 m wide control strip 24 adjoining this.
- the wildlife protection fence 5 on the outside of the terrain strip 2 and the higher wire fence 4 on the side of the terrain strip 2 facing the outdoor area 1 to be monitored prevents larger animals, such as deer, dogs and rabbits, from entering the terrain strip 2 to be monitored.
- the control strips 21 to 25 are designed in such a way that there are significant gray value changes between adjacent control strips in any weather. In dry and even more in wet weather, the light quartz gravel with its gray value stands out strongly from the two neighboring dark river gravel strips. If there is a closed layer of snow in winter and covers the various gravel strips, the side flanks of the two walls 28, 29 remain free of snow. Even if there should be snow on its upper edge, this snow cap, from the viewing direction of the television recording cameras 15, 16, 17 from diagonally above, contrasts with the gray of the side flanks of these walls.
- gray value in the covered area initially changes only in a certain direction. It becomes either lighter or darker without changing the gray value of the adjacent control strip which has not yet been entered.
- the lighter control strip in the covered area generally becomes darker and the darker control strip in the covered area becomes lighter. This is always the case when the gray value of the covering object lies between the gray values of the two adjacent control strips. If the gray value of the covering object reaches the gray value of one of the two control strips, the gray value of the other control strip will nevertheless change compared to the unchanged gray value of the first control strip.
- false alarms such as e.g.
- gray value per grid is compared with the previously saved gray value of this grid.
- Gray value changes i.e. Differences between the stored gray value signal and the new gray value signal are forwarded as a signal and compared with the change in gray value of the neighboring grid.
- a circuit logic now ensures that only opposite gray value changes in adjacent grid fields lead to a trigger signal, while the signals in the same direction change gray value blocks each other. In this way, processes which result in a change in the same direction of the gray value of adjacent grid fields - which can be assigned to adjacent control strips - such as, for example, Changes in lighting can be suppressed.
- False alarms such as those caused by very small objects, e.g. falling leaves or small animals such as Mice that can be triggered can be avoided if the image evaluation device sums up the trigger signals from several immediately adjacent raster fields resulting from gray value changes, insofar as a gray value change signal is generated in them, and routes the summed signal via a discriminator. If necessary, its threshold can be set so high that small covers, such as those caused by a mouse or a leaf, with their summed signal values are still below the threshold that is necessary for the actual signal triggering. Larger objects, such as a dog or a person, result in such a summation of the trigger signals that a signal is triggered.
