Abstract

An intelligent security method, system, and storage medium based on a quadruped robot are provided. The method includes receiving first coordinates corresponding to a target object and formulating a navigation path; dynamically correcting the navigation path during movement; when a distance between the quadruped robot and the target object reaches a preset tracking threshold, activating a surveillance camera and capturing a contour image of the target object; calculating a similarity between the contour image and a preset reference image; when the similarity is less than the preset value, initiating an attack and/or an alarm action, and calculating second coordinates; updating the navigation path and continuously tracking. Problems of limited surveillance coverage of traditional systems, inability to actively track moving targets, and untimely response to unexpected targets are solved.

Claims (29)

1 . An intelligent security method based on a quadruped robot, comprising:

receiving, by a quadruped robot located in a surveillance area and being on standby at a waiting point, first coordinates corresponding to a target object, formulating a navigation path based on the first coordinates, and moving toward the target object along the navigation path;

dynamically correcting the navigation path during movement of the quadruped robot according to the first coordinates received in real time;

when a distance between the quadruped robot and the target object reaches a preset tracking threshold, activating a surveillance camera mounted on the quadruped robot and capturing a contour image of the target object based on the surveillance camera;

calculating a similarity between the contour image and a preset reference image;

when the similarity is greater than or equal to a preset value, stopping tracking and returning to the waiting point;

when the similarity is less than the preset value, initiating an attack and/or an alarm action, and calculating second coordinates of the target object based on the contour image;

updating the navigation path based on the second coordinates and continuously tracking the target object; and

iteratively optimizing the second coordinates during tracking by periodically acquiring the contour image;

further comprising:

receiving, by a server, video streams captured by the security cameras in real time;

wherein when the similarity is less than the preset value, the quadruped robot further transmits the contour image to the server, and the server tracks a position of the target object in the video streams based on the contour image and generates third coordinates according to the position; and

when the quadruped robot loses the target object, the server transmits the third coordinates to the quadruped robot, and the quadruped robot updates the navigation path based on the third coordinates and moves accordingly.

2 . The intelligent security method according to claim 1 , wherein the first coordinates are generated by:

arranging a plurality of security cameras at intervals in the surveillance area;

performing, by the server, image detection processing on the video streams;

when a moving target object is detected, generating first coordinates corresponding to the target object and transmitting the first coordinates to the quadruped robot in a standby state.

3 . The intelligent security method according to claim 2 , wherein

when the similarity is greater than or equal to the preset value, the quadruped robot returns first information to the server, and the server suspends processing of the video streams for a preset period based on the first information;

when the similarity is less than the preset value, the quadruped robot feeds back second information to the server and transmits the second coordinates corresponding to the target object to the server in real time.

4 . The intelligent security method according to claim 3 , wherein the server sends a notification message to a mobile terminal based on the second information.

5 . The intelligent security method according to claim 1 , wherein the server further predicts a movement trajectory of the target object based on the second coordinates to generate a target position of the target object at a next moment and generates fourth coordinates according to the target position;

when both the quadruped robot and the security cameras simultaneously lose the target object, the server transmits the fourth coordinates to the quadruped robot, and the quadruped robot updates the navigation path based on the fourth coordinates and moves accordingly.

6 . The intelligent security method according to claim 1 , wherein during movement of the quadruped robot, environmental sensors equipped in the quadruped robot detects the surrounding environment in real time, and when an obstacle is detected, the quadruped robot adjusts the navigation path based on position coordinates of the obstacle to avoid the obstacle.

7 . The intelligent security method according to claim 1 , wherein the quadruped robot is further equipped with a light sensor and a light assistance system,

when the light sensor detects that a current ambient brightness is below a first preset value, the light assistance system activates a fill light;

when the light sensor detects that the current ambient brightness exceeds a second preset value, the light assistance system activates a light filter device to cover the surveillance camera.

8 . An intelligent security system, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein programs comprising computer-readable instructions are stored in the memory, and the processor is configured to implement the intelligent security method of claim 1 by executing the computer-readable instructions.

9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising a computer program executable by a processor to implement the intelligent security method of claim 1 .
