ENTITY ANALYSIS AND TRACKING IN A SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

Abstract:

A surveillance system having one or more cameras, each configured with a field-of-view (FOV) in a map displayed on a screen of a panel viewer. An entity may be tagged within an FOV of a current camera of the one or more cameras by clicking or drawing with a cursor on a screen showing the entity within the FOV, which results in a closed geometrical line around at least a portion of the entity displayed within the FOV. When the entity moves, the geometrical outline may move with the entity from an FOV of one camera to an FOV of another camera. One or more adjacent cameras having FOV's that are close to, adjacent to or overlapping to the FOV of the current camera, may be loaded with the map on the screen of the panel viewer.
