  • Intelligent monitoring system for establishing reliable background information in a complex image environment
    Patent number: 8301577
    Abstract: An intelligent monitoring system aims to perform object surveillance and tracking, and can quickly build accurate and reliable background data in a complex image condition to achieve desired monitoring result. Based on a dynamic background and a temporary static object and user's requirements, monitoring objects in a background module can be added or deleted to match the actual background information. The whole background data can be tracked according to characteristics of a targeted object set by users, and post-processing can be done for the tracked object, such as zooming, identifying, capturing, surveillance of behaviors, and the like. Thus whether a special attention is needed for a dynamic or static object can be notified. And an alert can be issued to relevant people for timely handling.
