[0014] Compared with the prior art, the camera device and the method for dynamically tracking a specific object use the preset movement path table to dynamically track the detected specific object and automatically adjust the camera device. Detection sensitivity improves the efficiency and accuracy of safety monitoring. [Embodiment] [0015] Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a network architecture of a preferred embodiment of the monitoring system of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the monitoring system 12 includes a plurality of imaging devices A-K (i.e., A-E, F-K), a network 14 and a client computer 16. Wherein, the plurality of camera devices are located in a monitoring area, 099112877 Form No. A0101 Page 5 of 27 0992022800-0 201138465 A connection is established in a point-to-point manner through the network 14 to electronically monitor the monitored area. The client computer 16 can log in to the setting page of one of the camera devices (such as the camera device A) via the network 14 to set various materials. After all the data are set in the camera device A, the camera device A transmits the set data to other camera devices in a point-to-point manner to realize data synchronization of all the camera devices. The network 14 can be an intranet or an internet or other type of communication network. [0016] Referring to Figure 2, there is shown a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of an image pickup apparatus of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the image pickup apparatus (such as the image pickup apparatus A) includes a material setting unit 121, an image acquisition unit 122, an object detection unit 123, a dynamic tracking unit 124, a storage device 125, and a processor 126. The camera device includes, but is not limited to, a patrol camera that can be driven by a software or a hardware circuit, a SpeedDome, and a Pan, a Tilt, and a Zoom PTZ (Pan). /Tilt/Zoom) Cameras, etc. The processor 126 is configured to control the execution of the units 121 to 124 to complete dynamic tracking of a specific object. [0017] The data setting unit 121 is configured to set a movement path table and monitoring parameters. The specific steps are as follows. [0018] (1) The client computer 16 logs into the setting page of a camera device (such as the camera device A) in the monitoring area via the network 14. [0019] (2) uploading an electronic map of the monitoring area through the setting page, and storing the electronic map in the storage device 125. Referring to FIG. 3, it is the 099112877 Form No. A0101 Page 6 / 27 pages 0992022800-0 201138465 [0020] [0021] [0022] Schematic diagram of the electronic map 18 of the monitoring area, where the block reaches the area Block * is an impassable area, and warehouse 41 is a monitoring object. (3) The mounting position and IP address of all the image pickup devices are indicated on the electronic map 18, and the mounting position of each camera device and the Ιρ address are stored in the storage device 125. Continuing to refer to FIG. 3, the imaging devices indicated on the electronic map 18 are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, k (ie, multiple cameras in FIG. 1)^ (4) According to the positional relationship of each camera shot indicated on the electronic map 18, a movement path table is set, and the movement path table is stored in the storage device 125. In the present embodiment, the movement path table includes two columns, one of which records all of the image pickup devices on the electronic map 18, and the other of which records the image pickup devices adjacent to each of the image pickup devices. Referring to Fig. 4, it is a movement path table set based on the electronic map 18 in Fig. 3. The first column (Cam_era ID) records all the camera devices on the electronic map 18: a, B, C, D, E, F, G, Η, I, J, K; the second column (Next Camera ID) record There is a distinction between each camera and the camera. For example, the image pickup devices adjacent to the image pickup device 为 are the image pickup devices Β and D, and the image pickup devices adjacent to the image pickup device B are the image pickup devices A, F, and C.

"% The key acquisition unit 122 is configured to acquire an image of the monitoring area. In the embodiment, the image acquisition unit 122 is a charge coupled device (CCD). The object detection unit 123 is configured to identify a specific object from the acquired image by using an object detection technology. . In the present embodiment, the specific object 20 includes a face, a license plate, a pedestrian, and the like. For example, if the type of the object detection technology of the device is a face detection technology, the object detection unit 123 can use the skin color theory (such as the YCbCr color space model) to identify the face from the acquired image. Faces can also be identified from the acquired pictures using face feature sample comparison 099112877 Form No. A0101 Page 8 / Total 27 Page 0992022800-0 201138465 Technology (Face Template Matching) or other facial recognition techniques. [0027] The dynamic tracking unit 124 is configured to: after the object detecting unit 123 identifies the specific object 20 from the acquired image, read the preset moving path table from the storage device 125, query the moving path table, and obtain The next camera device that may identify the particular object 20. In the present embodiment, the next image pickup device that may recognize the specific object 20 is any one of all the image pickup devices adjacent to the current image pickup device. Referring to FIG. 5, assuming that the position of the specific object 20 is at the image pickup apparatus A, it can be seen from the movement path table in FIG. 4 that the image pickup apparatuses adjacent to the image pickup apparatus A are the image pickup apparatuses B and D, so the next possible The imaging device that recognizes the specific object 20 is B or ]).

Further, the dynamic tracking unit 124 can also adjust the lens direction of the next camera to be aligned with the identified specific object 20. [0030] Referring to FIG. 6 , it is assumed that the position of the specific object 20 is moved from the imaging device A to the imaging device B. For the query of the movement path table in FIG. 4 , the imaging device adjacent to the imaging device B is the imaging device A. , F and C, so the next camera device that may recognize the particular object 20 is A, F or C. The dynamic tracking unit 124 will adjust the detection sensitivity of the camera to A, F, and C. In FIGS. 5 to 7, the solid arrows represent the moving path of the specific object 20, and the dotted arrows represent the path that the specific object 20 may move next time. [0031] Referring to FIG. 7, it is assumed that the position of the specific object 20 continues to move from the imaging device B to the imaging device F. As can be seen from the movement path table in FIG. 4, the imaging device adjacent to the imaging device F is an imaging device. B, G, and Η, so the next camera device that may recognize the particular object 20 is Β, G, or Η. The dynamic tracking unit 124 will adjust the detection sensitivity of the camera to Β, G, and Η. Since the camera device Η is in the vicinity of the monitoring object storeroom 41, the dynamic tracking unit 124 can also issue an alarm to remind the manager of the 〇 [0032] Referring to FIG. 8, the present invention utilizes the camera device to move the specific object 20 to 099112877.
