Definitions

  • the present invention concerns the preamble claim and therefore involves monitoring devices, in particular cameras.
  • Another known realization is designed to align a system of mirrors that is placed in the optical path, with which a panoramic view is possible and to correct the image that is distorted by the mirror.
  • the image resolution, in particular in the strongly distorted border regions is in spite of the correction poor and observation with a higher resolution is no longer possible or useful.
  • the task of the present invention consists in providing novelties for the commercial utilization.
  • the present invention proposes therefore in a first main concept a monitoring device with a multi-camera device and an object tracking device for the high resolution observation of moving objects, in which it is arranged that the object tracking device contains an image integration device for the creation of a total image from the individual images of the multi-camera device and a cut-out defining device for the, independent from the borders of the individual images, definition of a cut-out that will be observed at high resolution.
  • a first essential aspect of the present invention therefore is that, by the arrangement of a multitude of individual cameras, whose partial images are combined into a single total image, and the arrangement of an additional device that defines which areas are observed with high resolution, independent from the borders of the individual images, a completely in electronic form realized high resolution object tracking is guaranteed, that moreover can track the single object much faster than is possible with pan-and-tilt units of a conventional fixed camera or a moveable camera that is placed in a dome housing. Furthermore, because of the multitude of individual cameras in the multi-camera device, sensors, that are of indeed high but not of the highest resolution, can be used, making possible a very economical design of the system given the present state of sensor technology.
  • the multi-camera device will comprise typical digital individual cameras, that is, for example, CCD and/or CMOS arrays or something similar. These can deliver their images in digital format.
  • CCD and/or CMOS arrays or something similar. These can deliver their images in digital format.
  • already resolutions result with the present sate of the technology with, as an example, 1,280 horizontal dots that already with lesser sensors, for example four sensors, can no longer be meaningfully displayed on a single monitor. For this reason it is arranged that the image information of the overview image that is requested from a sensor, respectively a range of sensors, can be transmitted to the multi-camera device with reduced resolution. This lowers the network load of the image transmission when the image transmission takes place from, for example, typical LAN and/or ISDN capable camera systems.
  • the multi-camera device can comprise data compression means for the reduction of the data transmission rate.
  • the image areas of the individual cameras will at least at the borders overlap. Otherwise parts of the observed space, if necessary however only as very narrow bands, can remain unobserved.
  • an overlapping can vary from multi-camera device to multi-camera device.
  • the installation of the individual cameras can take place without high precision, for example, by gluing the individual cameras, and it is then only ensured that the creation of a total image incorporates the overlapping correctly for the corresponding individual case.
  • Relevant calibration information can, for example, be placed in the multi-camera device, in order to make a precise and exact image reproduction possible, independent from the respective control station and with information that is available there.
  • autodidactic software on the multi-camera device, or a control station that is connected to it can be used.
  • each spatial area is observed by at least two cameras, at least in critical areas such as doors, bank counters, and the like. In this way a greater reliability of the total system in case of camera failure is achieved.
  • the individual cameras may differ from each other in the way that they create an image.
  • every sensor with an automatic exposure appropriate to the lighting conditions of the spatial area that it observes.
  • a first sensor can be aimed at a very dark, not illuminated spatial area, and can accordingly be adjusted to be more sensitive, while another sensor observes a brightly illuminated area of the same space.
  • the image integration device is preferably constructed to correct, preferably automatically, for such differences, in as far as that does not take place in the multi-camera device. If required, status information concerning current illumination information, etc., for the correction, can be transmitted together with the image.
  • the monitoring device will be coupled to a total image display, which has a typical lower resolution as the one that results from the maximal possible combined resolution of the individual image cameras.
  • Preferred detail cut-out display means are then provided that depict detailed information of certain, selected areas. This detail cut-out display can be designated as image cut-out to one and the same monitor and/or it can be assigned to separate monitors.
  • a motion detection is possible that in the cameras themselves detects pronounced image changes, in order to define interesting image cut-outs.
  • a user it is possible for a user to focus on per se interesting areas, that is, image cut-outs that must be displayed principally and/or continuously and/or rather more detailed, for example, the area close to a bank counter or something of a similar kind.
  • a corresponding signal can be passed from the camera, to which the first sensor belongs, to the camera to which the second sensor belongs, so that a continuous observation of the interesting object becomes possible with higher resolution and/or is avoided, and that objects, already identified as uninteresting, can be further followed.
  • sound locating can take place, directional microphones can track and/or several microphones can be evaluated.
  • FIG. 1 a representation of a monitor device according to the invention.
  • the monitoring device 1 in general denoted with 1, comprises a multi-camera device 2 and an object tracking device 3 for the high resolution observation of moving objects, in which it is arranged that the object tracking device 3 contains an image integration device 5 for the creation of a total image 6 from the individual images 6 a , 6 b , etc., of the multi-camera device and a cut-out defining device 7 for the definition, independent from the borders of the individual images, of cut-outs 4 a , 4 b that will be observed at high resolution.
  • the object tracking device 3 contains an image integration device 5 for the creation of a total image 6 from the individual images 6 a , 6 b , etc., of the multi-camera device and a cut-out defining device 7 for the definition, independent from the borders of the individual images, of cut-outs 4 a , 4 b that will be observed at high resolution.
  • the monitoring device 1 serves in the present example to observe the public area of a banking hall and comprises two, through a conventional computer network cable (LAN) 8 connected, areas, namely, on the one hand, the banking hall in which the multi-camera device 2 is arranged, and, on the other hand, a control station area where the observation of the banking hall takes place and in which the object tracking device 3 is arranged.

  • the multi-camera device 2 comprises in the present example an array of 3 ⁇ 3 individual cameras, each with CCD arrays 2 a and comprising a projection optics 2 b as well as an evaluation circuit 2 c for each individual camera.

  • the sensors and optics 2 a , 2 b are oriented with respect to each other in such a way that the spatial areas that are obtained from an individual camera overlap. This is in each case clearly illustrated, by dot and dash, broken, and dotted lines, in the depicted layout by means of the overlap of the fields of view originating from the optics 2 b 1 , 2 b 2 , 2 b 3 .
  • the optics 2 b is immobile and economical.
  • the overlapping areas of these optics are, as is obvious in the figure, not identical, that is, the width of overlapping of the optics 2 a 1 and 2 a 2 is different from the width of the overlapping of the optics 2 a 2 and 2 a 3 .
  • the sensors 2 a 1 , 2 a 2 , 2 a 3 , etc. can be read with different sensitivity by their evaluation circuit 2 c 1 , 2 c 2 , 2 c 3 , etc., in order that without problems a response to a brightness difference of an adjacent area of view is possible, so that, at that time, an adequate sensitivity can be chosen.
  • the evaluation circuit 2 c is designed to condition the image data received from the sensor 2 a and, as is required for the transmission, to reduce them. For disclosure purposes be it referred to the data reduction possibilities according to the aforementioned applications.
  • the evaluation circuit 2 c is moreover in particular designed to send image data, of the area parts of the designated sensor array with a higher compression and data of other area parts of the sensor array without compression, over the cable 3 through the internal bus 8 a and the interface 8 b .
  • each unit 2 c is designed to capture motions of objects 10 inside its designated sensor view array and to define a motion cut-out and to determine the direction of motions. Furthermore, it is designed to transmit to the unit 9 motions in directions towards the sensor borders and to receive from it corresponding information. Such motions of objects 10 a , 10 b are depicted in the figure by arrows 11 a , 11 b.
  • the object tracking device 3 in the monitoring control station comprises a display that, on the one hand, can display a total image that is composed from the individual images 6 of the cameras in the multi-camera device 2 , whereby the display for the reception of the total images is connected to an image integration device 5 , and on the other hand, with which the, likewise from the image integration device 5 received and with the cut-out definition device 7 defined, cut-outs 4 a , 4 b can be displayed with high resolution.
  • the display device could be a conventional, high resolution computer monitor.
  • the individual images 6 a , 6 b are not different and/or isolated from each other.
  • the dot and dash line 12 only serves for visualization during the clarification of the invention.
  • the overlapping areas are only simply represented, thus do not show up twice, even though they are captured by several cameras.
  • the object tracking device 3 accordingly is designed in such a way that a continuous, overlap free image results.
  • a stage can be provided in which the overlap area is cut.
  • the cut-outs 4 a , 4 b are in the present example placed around two moving persons 10 , 10 b and, as is clear, the cut-outs are displayed with higher resolution on a part of the monitor's screen.
  • a display on a separate monitor is also possible.
  • a multi monitor system they can be connected to one and the same computer.
  • it is possible to route to a dedicated monitor by providing a certain local intelligent signal directly to the display of the cut-outs that are to be observed locally.
  • the image integration device 5 consists in the present case of a PC, that is fed via a LAN connection 8 the individual camera images that have reduced resolution as well as reduced data.
  • individual camera image an image, respectively an image sequence
  • image integration device 5 is moreover advantageous, in order to keep the data transmission rate on the network 8 low and it thus makes possible in particular a precise remote observation via ADSL, ISDN, or the like.
  • the total image 6 is built, as mentioned before, from the individual images 6 a , 6 b , etc.
  • cut-out definition device 7 serves initially a touch sensitive area of the display area, on which the total image is displayed and on which a user can mark with the finger or an appropriate object a momentarily relevant area. In the depicted example two of such areas 4 a and 4 b are marked.
  • an automatic evaluation can take place in the image integration device 5 or the communication control unit 9 , for example, by taking into consideration image areas of individual cameras that recently have changed considerately, areas of the total images, etc., and/or by taking into account particularly interesting or less interesting areas, such as decoration areas 6 a .

  • the transmission cables 8 are conventional transmission cables that, however, implicitly may not and/or shall not be loaded with the data rate of the fully resolved individual images.
  • image data and/or other data such as control information, tone signals, etc.
  • control signals from the image integration device 5 can be transmitted, concerning in particular those areas that a user, according to a, with the cut-out definition device 7 made-up cut-out definition, wants to display with high resolution.
  • the communication control unit 9 is designed to evaluate the single image data obtained from the evaluation circuit 2 c in particular concerning the there detected motion of objects, in order to, when an object that has to be represented with high resolution oversteps an image boundary, automatically transmit a message to every neighboring individual camera of the multi-camera device 2 , with which the moving object will be captured as the next view of the observed motion, as is represented by arrow 11 a or 11 b.
  • the multi-camera device 2 is assembled with a multitude of identical cameras without an expensive alignment taking place during the assembly. Then the multi-camera device 2 is mounted in the area that has to be observed, and namely in such a way that it captures with the individual cameras the whole interesting spatial area. After this mounting and the one-time alignment the multi-camera device 2 is fixated so that subsequently all cameras continuously will observe an in every case fixed area. Now the multi-camera device 2 is connected to the cable 8 and at first a learning phase is started, in which through the evaluation of image signals it is ensured that objects that occur in the overlapping image areas, are represented only once in the total image. This can take place in an autodidactic manner with pattern recognition and/or through a calibration phase with known patterns, if necessary, a calibration before mounting is possible in the manufacturing process.
  • an observer in the control station can create on the area of a touch sensitive monitor 7 that displays the total image 6 , a corresponding marking and thereby demand high resolution images of the persons.
  • the areas that should be displayed at high resolution are demanded via the cable 8 independently of the borders of the individual images and are by means of the borders of the image area, that is to be transmitted at high resolution, assigned by the communication control unit 9 to the individual cameras.
  • a cut-out choice can be made-up by the user and transmitted to the multi-camera device 2 and/or an automatic choice takes place in the multi-camera device 2 , in particular in a processor circuit that implements if possible the communication control unit 9 and the image integration stage 5 in an integrated manner.
  • An image compression dependent on the position and motion of different resolution stages, can be produced, whereby then, for example, image areas that are in the in the multi-camera device 2 identified as uninteresting during magnification of the total image and/or cut-out choice, which can in particular take place on the receiver side, can be displayed blurred,
