Definitions

  • the invention relates to a video control device for the detection of stationary and moving objects in a delimited, preferably flat area with the aid of a surveillance camera.
  • Light barriers are often used to detect such objects. Although this type of monitoring is not very complex, it has the disadvantage that only objects that interrupt a light beam are recognized, so that the network of light beams must be very narrow. In order to recognize people lying down or flat obstacles, the light barriers must be installed very low, which, however, can easily lead to errors in the evaluation, e.g. if There is snow. Additional video surveillance is required, so that in the event of an alarm, the surveillance personnel can check the surveillance area for the cause of the alarm so that the train is not stopped in the event of a false alarm.
  • a more advantageous method is monitoring with television cameras and automatic evaluation with a video controller.
  • movements are detected here, so that a pedestrian or a car in the surveillance area triggers the alarm. Since in this type of monitoring two images in succession are checked for changes, the detection of an object depends on its movement. Objects at rest are not recognized.
  • a source of error arises from changes in the image caused by the moving shadow of passing clouds or trees moving in the wind. In the dark there are problems with the headlights of car headlights.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a monitoring device that is both stationary and also reliably detects moving objects in the surveillance area and at the same time reduces the probability of false alarms.
  • This object is achieved by taking two images for evaluation and storing them in an image memory, one of the images being taken without artificial lighting, while the second image with a flash which is arranged opposite the camera, the axis of the radiation cone of the Flash forms an angle with the camera axis, which is smaller than 180 °, is recorded.
  • a difference image is now created from the two images stored in the image memory, which only contains portions which have arisen from the lighting by the flash, while portions which have arisen as a result of normal light are extinguished. If there is an object in the monitored area, the difference image results in a signal in the shadow areas that arise behind an object on the side facing away from the flash. The extent of these signals is evaluated. An alarm is triggered when a shadow is detected.
  • the monitoring device With the monitoring device according to the invention, three-dimensional objects can be recognized, it being irrelevant whether these are moving or at rest. By hiding the part of the image that is created by normal lighting, changes in the image that are caused by shadows as a result of normal lighting and the like and that lead to interference in known image processing systems are suppressed.
  • the area to be monitored can be limited by a mask if the detection range of the camera is larger than the area to be monitored.
  • the mask is electronically determined so that the excluded areas are not taken into account in the evaluation.
  • a second flash device which is arranged at a short distance next to the first, so that, for example, ruts in snow in the direction of the plane in which the axis of the camera optics and the flash cone of lightning lying, do not cause shadows. It is advantageous if the axis of the second flash has a slightly changed angle to the camera axis.
  • Limiting the spectral range of the flash and advantageously also of the camera also contributes to increasing the evaluation reliability, since the interference is reduced by this exclusion.
  • a range from dark red to infrared can still be processed well by the television cameras with semiconductor sensors (CCD cameras), the blue, green and yellow areas are suppressed and an appropriate optical filter makes the scene still appear natural. In this way, the image signals triggered by a limited spectral range can be fed to a central monitoring station for evaluation.
  • the light loss caused by the filter is compensated for by opening the diaphragm by 2 to 3 steps.
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an arrangement according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of flash unit (hereinafter referred to as flash) and camera using the example of a level crossing
  • FIG. 3 shows the image section with a restricted area and a three-dimensional object.
  • the camera 1 is connected to the masking device 2. From this masking device 2, lines lead to the synch separator 3 to the image processing unit 12 and to the switch S1, which optionally connects the signal at the output of the masking device 2 to the image memory 6 or to the image memory 7.
  • the switch S1 is controlled by the switch control 5.
  • the synch separator 3 is still connected to the field recognition 4. This in turn has a connection to the switch control 5 and to the flash control 8, which is connected to the switch S2 and to the flash 9.
  • the image memories 6 and 7 are also connected to the differential circuit 11, to which the image processing unit 12 connects.
  • a connection leads from the image processing unit 12 to the alarm transmitter 13, which is connected to an alarm output unit 14.
  • the camera 1 and the flash 9 are arranged elevated on opposite sides of the surveillance area.
  • a possible arrangement is shown in FIG. 2a using the example of a level crossing.
  • the arrangement can consist of the camera K and the flash B or of the camera K and the flashes B1 and B2. Furthermore, an arrangement with more than two flashes is also possible if the area to be monitored has other conditions that require this.
  • a side view of the arrangement is shown in Fig. 2b. 2c shows a view from above.
  • the switch S2 is coupled to the barrier at a level crossing so that it activates the monitoring device when the barrier is closed.
  • the camera When the monitoring device is activated, the camera first records a first field and then a second field with flash lighting. These video signals pass through the masking device 2, in which everything is hidden that does not belong to the area to be monitored.
  • the masking device 2 In Figure 3a, the parts that are masked out by the masking device are shown hatched, so that only the area between the barriers remains. In the masking device 2 However, ascertained bumps or the rails, which can also interfere with the evaluation, can be hidden.
  • the manipulated in the masking device 2 image signal is firstly applied to the synch separator 3, in which the synchronization signals are separated, which are then processed in the field recognition 4.
  • the image portions hidden by the mask are fed to the image processing unit, so that these image portions are not taken into account in the image evaluation.
  • the manipulated image signal is optionally sent to the image memory 6 or the image memory 7 via the switch S1.
  • the switch S1 is brought into the respectively required position by the switch control 5, a switching signal being given by the field recognition 4 to the switch control 5.
  • the control takes place in such a way that a first field is stored in the image memory 6. This first field is under normal conditions, i.e. taken by the camera without flash.
  • the field detection 4 again sends a switching signal to the switch control 5 and the flash control 8 and the flash image now generated is stored in the image memory 7.
  • the field detection can output a switching signal after each field or every frame, which is evaluated in the switch control 5 or in the flash control 8.
  • the evaluation can advantageously take place in such a way that after the first Field in the image memory 6, one field is not evaluated and the next field is then written into the image memory 7, the flash 9 being triggered by the flash control 8 when this field is recorded.
  • This field now contains image information that was obtained due to the normal lighting and additionally the image information that was caused by the flash.
  • the two fields are located in the image memories 6 and 7 and are subsequently manipulated in the differential circuit 11 by forming the difference from the corresponding image points of the image memory 6 and the image memory 7.
  • the resulting image which is evaluated in the image processing unit 12, only contains image information that was caused by the light of the flash. When this image was displayed on the monitor, everything would be largely shown and visible, just like on a normal picture. However, the disturbing external light sources, such as car headlights and their light cones, and their effects, such as the shadows caused by these light sources, are missing. Shadows are also invisible, which are caused by passing clouds or trees swaying in the wind and which can only be eliminated with great effort or not at all during image evaluation using known image recording methods.
  • the image information that only results from the light of the flash creates a shadow on the side of the object facing away from the flash, as shown in FIG. 3 is represented by the area S, which indicates the presence of a three-dimensional object O in the surveillance area.
  • the unlit side of the object also remains black and is also referred to as shadow in the following.
  • the simplest way to evaluate the image is to use a shadow, i.e. recognize an area whose image values have black levels. If such an area is recognized, the alarm device 13 can emit an alarm, which is indicated acoustically or optically by the alarm output unit 14.
  • the image evaluation in the image processing unit 12 can be expanded as far as is necessary for meaningful monitoring. For example, the extent and shape of the area can be evaluated with a black level. In this way, an alarm can be suppressed, for example by a cigarette packet. Thanks to a more complex image processing system, brightening of the shadows created by scattered light can also be taken into account.
  • the size of the shadow depends on the position to the flash. An object that is close to the flash creates a smaller shadow than an object of the same size that is further away because the angle of incidence is flatter here.
  • Three-dimensional objects which, as already mentioned, are constantly in the same area in the area to be monitored, can be masked out by the masking device 2 or they can be excluded from the evaluation in the image processing unit 12.
  • An adaptation to different places of use is easily possible here, in that the surveillance area is recorded in the manner described above when the surveillance system is set up, and the shadows that are created are taught in and are not taken into account in the evaluation in the surveillance area.
  • the surveillance camera of the surveillance system is also used for surveillance by surveillance personnel, i.e. for displaying an image on a monitor, the field that was additionally exposed by flash can be replaced by the previous field stored in the other image memory.
