Surveillance system having status detection module, method for self-monitoring of an observer, and computer program

1. A surveillance system ( 1 ) for monitoring a plurality of surveillance regions ( 5 ), in which the surveillance system ( 1 ) is controllable and/or controlled by at least one human observer ( 4 ), comprising:

a state detection module ( 8 ) which is designed and/or situated such that the surveillance state of the observer ( 4 ) may be determined on the basis of optically detected state signals of the observer ( 4 ); and

an instruction module ( 13 ) which is designed to guide the observer ( 4 ), via instructions, in the implementation of a specified and/or specifiable surveillance strategy, and to monitor compliance with the instructions via an evaluation of the surveillance state.

2. The surveillance system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the surveillance state includes a fatigue level and/or a focus or viewing direction of the observer.

3. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 1 , wherein the state signals are designed as signals that are generated passively and/or in a manner that is unbeknownst to and/or uncontrolled by the observer ( 4 ).

4. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 1 , wherein the state signals are designed as facial signals and/or head signals.

5. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a human-machine interface (HMI, 6 ) for recording the state signals of the observer ( 4 ), and which includes an evaluation device ( 11 ) for evaluating the state signals that were recorded, the result of the evaluation being the surveillance state of the observer ( 4 ).

6. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 5 , wherein the human-machine interface (HMI) is designed as a camera ( 6 ) which is designed and/or situated to record the observer ( 4 ).

7. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 1 , further comprising warning module ( 12 ) which is designed to output a warning signal depending on the surveillance state.

8. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a training module ( 14 ) which evaluates the surveillance state and generates training instructions in order to improve the quality of surveillance.

9. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a recording module ( 18 ) which is designed to store the surveillance state together with the signal stream from the surveillance system ( 1 ).

10. A surveillance system ( 1 ) for monitoring a plurality of surveillance regions ( 5 ), in which the surveillance system ( 1 ) is controllable and/or controlled by at least one human observer ( 4 ), comprising:

a state detection module ( 8 ) which is designed and/or situated such that the surveillance state of the observer ( 4 ) may be determined on the basis of optically detected state signals of the observer ( 4 ); and

a selection module ( 15 ) which is designed to identify, on the basis of the surveillance state a surveillance monitor ( 3 ) and/or a surveillance object located in the surveillance region ( 5 ) as the selected surveillance object.

11. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 10 , further comprising a control module ( 16 ) which is designed to track the selected surveillance object by selecting and/or actuating and/or controlling surveillance sensors ( 9 ) in the surveillance regions ( 5 ).

12. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 10 , further comprising a tracking module ( 17 ) which is designed to mark and/or track the selected surveillance object using digital image processing.

13. The surveillance system ( 1 ) as recited in claim 10 , further comprising by an instruction module ( 18 ) which is designed to output additional information about the selected surveillance object.

14. A method for the self-monitoring of an observer who monitors a plurality of surveillance regions using a surveillance system,

wherein optical state signals of the observer are recorded, and the surveillance state of the observer is determined on the basis of the state signals, wherein an instruction module ( 13 ) is provided which is designed to guide the observer ( 4 ), via instructions, in the implementation of a specified and/or specifiable surveillance strategy, and to monitor compliance with the instructions via an evaluation of the surveillance state.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program, which when executed by a surveillance system, causes the commuter to carry out all steps of the method as recited in claim 14 .
