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 (38)

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

at least one memory storing instructions;

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

generating event-related data based on an image that has been captured, the event-related data being at least a size or a movement of an event;

executing coverage analysis for the plurality of cameras by comparing imaging range to the event-related data; and

listing cameras, out of the plurality of cameras, which can capture an image of the event, based on a result of the coverage analysis, so that an operator can select one of the listed cameras.

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

in the listing, identifying the cameras based on the type of the event.

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

in listing, identifying the cameras 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 camera selected by the operator.

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

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

6. A surveillance control method controlling a plurality of cameras comprising:

generating event-related data based on an image that has been captured, the event-related data being at least a size or a movement of an event;

executing coverage analysis for the plurality of cameras by comparing imaging range to the event-related data; and

listing cameras, out of the plurality of cameras, which can capture an image of the event, based on a result of the coverage analysis, so that an operator can select one of the listed cameras.

7. The surveillance control method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

in the listing, identifying the cameras based on the type of the event.

8. The surveillance control method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

in listing, identifying the cameras based on map information including wall or other space defining structures.

9. The surveillance control method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

actuating the camera selected by the operator.

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

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

11. A non-transitory storage medium storing at least one program causing at least one computer to execute a surveillance control method controlling a plurality of cameras comprising:

generating event-related data based on an image that has been captured, the event-related data being at least a size or a movement of an event;

executing coverage analysis for the plurality of cameras by comparing imaging range with the event-related data; and

listing cameras, out of the plurality of cameras, which can capture an image of the event, based on a result of the coverage analysis, so that an operator can select one of the listed cameras.

12. The non-transitory storage medium storing at least one program causing at least one computer to execute the method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

in the listing, identifying the cameras based on the type of the event.

13. The non-transitory storage medium storing at least one program causing at least one computer to execute the method according to claim 11 , comprising:

in listing, identifying the cameras based on map information including wall or other space defining structures.

14. The non-transitory storage medium storing at least one program causing at least one computer to execute the method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

actuating the camera selected by the operator.

15. The non-transitory storage medium storing at least one program causing at least one computer to execute the method according to claim 14 , further comprising:

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