A trainable security system emthod for the same

TLDR
In this article, a method for determining whether an area under surveillance is in a desired state or an undesired state is presented, which comprises the steps of collecting data in a computer about the area which defines when the area is in the desired states or the undesired states.
Abstract
A security system comprised of a device for monitoring an area under surveillance. The monitoring device produces images of the area. The security system is also comprised of a device for processing the images to determine whether the area is in a desired state or an undesired state. The processing device is trainable to learn the difference between the desired state and the undesired state. In a preferred embodiment, the monitoring device includes a video camera which produces video images of the area and the processing device includes a computer simulating a neural network. A method for determining whether an area under surveillance is in a desired state or an undesired state. The method comprises the steps of collecting data in a computer about the area which defines when the area is in the desired state or the undesired state. Next, training the computer from the collected data to essentially correctly identify when the area is in the desired state or in the undesired state while the area is under surveillance. Next, performing surveillance of the area with a computer such that the computer determines whether the area is in a desired state or the undesired state.

Visual Image sensor system

TL;DR: In this article, a visual image sensor system for detecting an abnormal change in a monitored scene is disclosed, wherein normal changes which may occur in the monitored scene are previously memorized to be selectively compared with changes in monitored scene, whereby the normal changes are discriminated from the actual abnormal change to be detected.

Image-data reduction technique

TL;DR: In this article, a foveated electronic camera employing a spatial-frequency spectrum analyzer and data-reduction means utilizing movable spatial windows for converting a high-resolution, wide field-of-view image into a group of subspectrum band images ranging in resolution and field of view from a lowest-resolution image of the entire field- of-view to a highest-resolution images of a selectably positionable smallest spatial subregion of the whole field-ofthe-view.
Patent

Video movement detector.

TL;DR: In this article, a motion detection system with the aid of a detector consisting of a video directing at least one of television camera (20) in the surveillance zone and to the image of this camera on a television screen of (25) is characterized in that the projection onto TV monitor is divided into a matrix of individual detection zones (15) positioned in a selected number of columns (1 to 14), each detection area having a height corresponding to a number selected scan lines (0-8), a process of individual detecting zones in each column in a sequential manner by integration (28)

Method for the three-dimensional surveillance of the object space.

TL;DR: In this article, two video cameras at different angles with respect to each other are installed to register the space, and the object coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the observed object points can be solved in a real-time process on the basis of the image coordinates (x, y) registered by the video cameras and by making use of projective intersection.
