Abstract

Event-related data based on an image that has been captured is generated. Coverage information relating to imaging range is compared to the event-related data. The cameras that can capture an image of the event, based on a comparing result, are listed so that an operator can select one of the listed cameras.

Claims (43)

1 . A surveillance control system controlling a plurality of sensors comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor connected to the memory that, based on the instructions, performs operations comprising:

receiving sensor data including event related data relating to at least one of a scale of the event and an occurrence location of the event from at least one of the plurality of sensors;

selecting, based on the at least one of the scale of the event, the occurrence location of the event, and a sensing range of the at least one of the plurality of sensors, at least a second one of the plurality of sensors based on a type of the event, the sensor data and coverage information relating to imaging range which each of the plurality of sensors is able to image; and

actuating the selected at least the second one of the plurality of sensors.

2 . The surveillance control system according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

comparing the coverage information with the sensor data; and

selecting the at least second one of the plurality of sensors based on a comparing result of comparing the coverage information with the sensor data.

3 . The surveillance control system according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

in the selecting, identifying the at least second one of the plurality of sensors based on map information including wall or other space defining structures.

4 . The surveillance control system according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

actuating the at least second one of the plurality of sensors by changing at least one of direction, resolution or pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) settings of at least one of the plurality of sensors.

5 . The surveillance control system according to claim 1 , wherein the coverage information includes information concerning Field of View (FOV) of the plurality of sensors.

6 . The surveillance control system according to claim 1 , wherein the coverage information includes information concerning Field of Regard (FOR) for non-directional or movable sensors included in the plurality of sensors.

7 . The surveillance control system according to claim 1 , wherein the selecting includes selecting the at least second one of the plurality of sensors further based on map information concerning wall or other space defining structures.

8 . The surveillance control system according to claim 1 , wherein the selecting includes selecting the at least second one of the plurality of sensors further based on capabilities of sensor actuators of the plurality of sensors.

9 . A surveillance control method controlling a plurality of sensors comprising:

receiving sensor data including event related data relating to at least one of a scale of the event and an occurrence location of the event from at least one of the plurality of sensors;

selecting, based on the at least one of the scale of the event, the occurrence location of the event, and a sensing range of the at least one of the plurality of sensors, at least a second one of the plurality of sensors based a type of the event, the sensor data and coverage information relating to imaging range which each of the plurality of sensors is able to image; and

actuating the selected at least second one of the plurality of sensors.

10 . The surveillance control method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

comparing the coverage information with the sensor data; and

selecting the at least second one of the plurality of sensors based on a comparing result of comparing the coverage information with the sensor data.

11 . The surveillance control method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

in the selecting, identifying the at least second one of the plurality of sensors based on map information including wall or other space defining structures.

12 . The surveillance control method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

actuating the at least second one of the plurality of sensors by changing at least one of direction, resolution or pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) settings of at least one of the plurality of sensors.

13 . The surveillance control method according to claim 9 , wherein the coverage information includes information concerning Field of View (FOV) of the plurality of sensors.

14 . The surveillance control method according to claim 9 , wherein the coverage information includes information concerning Field of Regard (FOR) for non-directional or movable sensors included in the plurality of sensors.

15 . The surveillance control method according to claim 9 , wherein the selecting includes selecting the at least second one of the plurality of sensors further based on map information concerning wall or other space defining structures.

16 . The surveillance control system according to claim 9 , wherein the selecting includes selecting the at least second one of the plurality of sensors further based on capabilities of sensor actuators of the plurality of sensors.

17 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium causing a computer controlling a plurality of sensors to execute operations comprising:
