DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a security surveillance camera system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a structural diagram illustrating the installation state of the ATM device of the security monitoring camera system of the present invention.
[0012]
1, a security surveillance camera system of the present invention includes a surveillance camera 1, an image recognition unit 2, a control unit 3, a drive unit 4, a housing unit 5, a communication unit 6, a network 7, a central monitoring control device 8, and an ATM device 9. , And the alarm device 10.
[0013]
The monitoring camera 1 is a camera that monitors a vehicle parked or parked around the ATM device 9. The video information of the vehicle photographed by the monitoring camera 1 is divided into two parts, one is transmitted to the image recognition unit 2, and the other is transmitted to the central monitoring device 8 connected to the network 7 via the communication unit 6. The The image recognizing unit 2 recognizes the image of the vehicle transmitted from the surveillance camera 1, generates a warning signal and transmits it to the control unit 3 when it is recognized as a distrusted vehicle.
[0014]
That is, the image recognition unit 2 always recognizes image information of a vehicle parked or stopped around the ATM device 9 taken by the monitoring camera 1. If the vehicle is recognized as a general passenger car, truck, or the like, the determination result of “abnormal pear” is transmitted to the control unit 3 and video monitoring by the monitoring camera 1 is continued.
[0015]
However, when the image recognition unit 2 recognizes that the vehicle parked or stopped around the ATM device 9 is a special vehicle such as a shovel car, a warning signal is transmitted from the image recognition unit 2 to the control unit 3.
[0016]
The monitoring camera 1 or the ATM device 9 is attached with an alarm device 10 such as a safe sensor. When the alarm device 10 detects an abnormality in the storage unit 5, an alarm signal is transmitted to the control unit 3.
[0017]
When receiving a warning signal from the image recognition unit 2 or an alarm signal from the warning device 10, the control unit 3 generates an ATM alarm signal and is connected to the network 7 via the communication unit 6. Send to. In addition, the control unit 3 generates a control signal in response to the warning signal from the image recognition unit 2 and transmits it to the drive unit 4.
[0018]
The drive unit 4 moves the ATM device 9 up and down, and normally pushes up the ATM device 9 on the ground part. However, when the control signal is received, the drive unit 4 drives the ATM device 9 to be stored in the underground storage unit 5. .
[0019]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an installation structure of an ATM device, for example, which is a monitoring target of the present invention.
[0020]
In FIG. 2, the ATM device 9 is installed on a drive unit 4 that moves up and down. The drive unit 4 is installed in the storage unit 5 provided in the basement of the installation place of the ATM device 9, and the ATM device 9 is taken out from the storage unit 5 to the ground by a control signal from the control unit 3 (FIG. )) Or move up and down as shown in FIG. 2 (b). Moreover, the structure of the attachment part of the lower part of ATM apparatus 9 is a structure wider than the ground part exposure, and the removal of ATM apparatus 9 is made into a structure difficult also with a shovel car.
[0021]
In the following explanation, the ATM device 9 is operated 24 hours a day, installed in a public place such as a supermarket or transportation, and installed in a small outdoor building where a parked or parked vehicle can be parked nearby. It is assumed that
[0022]
A vehicle that is parked or parked around the ATM device 9 is constantly monitored and photographed by the monitoring camera 1, and the video information is transmitted to the image recognition unit 2. The image recognizing unit 2 recognizes the video information of the vehicle and generates a warning signal when the vehicle is recognized as a distrusted vehicle, and transmits the warning signal to the control unit 3.
[0023]
That is, when a vehicle parks around the ATM device 9, the image recognition unit 2 performs image feature extraction from the video information captured by the monitoring camera 1, and determines whether the vehicle is a general vehicle or a shovel car (special vehicle). I do. The determination method is, for example, extracting an entire image corresponding to a projected image of a vehicle, and detecting that a shovel car has a large portion of the silhouette corresponding to the shovel and a portion of the driver's seat where the driver is in two silhouettes. Perform feature extraction. As another means, an algorithm such as a method of storing a shovel car silhouette pattern and collating the stored silhouette pattern with a silhouette of a photographed image is used. In this way, when the vehicle is recognized as a shovel car, a warning signal is transmitted to the control unit 3.
[0024]
When the control unit 3 receives the warning signal, the control unit 3 generates an ATM alarm signal and transmits the ATM alarm signal to the central monitoring control device 8 connected to the network 7 via the communication unit 6. When the ATM alarm signal is transmitted to the central monitoring control device 8, the operator monitors the video information from the monitoring camera 1 displayed on the monitor of the central monitoring control device 8. When a crime such as an intrusion or theft is expected, the security guard or the police is notified and the ATM device 9 is urgently installed.
[0025]
On the other hand, the ATM device 9 is normally fixed by a method such as a ratchet in a jack-up state when the ATM device 9 is pushed up to a predetermined height by the jack structure of the drive unit 4. And when the drive part 4 receives the control signal based on a warning signal from the control part 3, the ratchet will be open | released, a jack will return to the original lower position, and the ATM apparatus 9 will be accommodated in the accommodating part 5. FIG.
[0026]
If the jack is an oil dump jack, the ATM device 9 quickly sinks to the underground storage unit 5 by its own weight because the jack descends downward at a slow falling speed. When using the fall due to its own weight, it is desirable to provide a buffer mechanism such as an oil dump or a spring.
[0027]
Therefore, by installing the ATM device 9 as in the first embodiment, when an abnormality occurs or is predicted, the ATM device 9 is accommodated in the underground storage unit 5 and is prevented from being destroyed or removed by the shovel car. Can do. Moreover, since it takes time if the criminal continues the destruction work forcibly at the place where the ATM device 9 is installed, there is an effect that the criminal is arrested and the crime is attempted.
[0028]
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the configuration showing the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0029]
In the second embodiment, the image recognition unit 2 is connected to the central monitoring device.
[0030]
Therefore, in the second embodiment, when the video information captured by the monitoring camera 1 and the alarm signal from the alarm device 10 are transmitted to the control unit 3, the ATM alarm signal from the control unit 3 passes through the communication unit 6. To the central supervisory control device 8 connected to the network 7 via the network. The video information of the vehicle photographed by the monitoring camera 1 is transmitted to the central monitoring control device 8 of the network 7 via the communication unit 6. Then, the video information is transmitted to the image recognition unit 2 connected to the central monitoring control device 8. Similar to the first embodiment, the image recognition unit 2 extracts image features from the video information and determines whether the vehicle is a general vehicle or a shovel car. And when it recognizes as a shovel car, a warning signal is transmitted to the central supervisory control apparatus 8.
[0031]
Then, the central monitoring control device 8 generates an alarm signal from the warning signal and transmits it to the control device 2 via the network 7 and the communication unit 6. The operation in which the drive unit 4 stores the ATM device 9 in the underground storage unit 5 based on the control signal from the control unit 3 that has received this alarm signal is the same as in the first embodiment.
[0032]
In the embodiment, the ATM device 9 is accommodated in the underground storage unit 5, but is not limited to the monitoring target ATM device, and other than the method of accommodating the monitoring target in the underground storage unit, the wall surface of the building A method may be employed in which a storage unit is provided in the storage unit to store the monitoring target.
[0033]
Further, the control for accommodating the monitoring target is performed by a warning signal generated by image recognition, or may be a method of accommodating the monitoring target in the storage unit by the above-described alarm signal.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, even if it is an unattended ATM device operated for 24 hours, the monitoring object can be protected by the storage means when the special vehicle is detected. The target can be prevented from being destroyed or taken away.
