Abstract

Sensor data is received. The sensor data includes event related data relating to at least one of scale of the event and occurrence location of the event from at least one of a number of sensors. At least one of the number of sensors is actuated, based on the sensor data and coverage information relating to imaging range which each of the sensors is able to image.

Claims (47)

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

at least one memory storing instructions;

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 scale of the event and occurrence location of the event from at least one of the plurality of sensors; and

actuating at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the sensor data and coverage information relating to imaging range which each of the plurality of sensors is able to image.

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

comparing the coverage information with the sensor data; and

actuating at least one of the plurality of cameras based on the comparing result.

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

actuating at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the type of the event.

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

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

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

actuating at least 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.

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

selecting at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the coverage information and the sensor data; and

actuating the selected sensor.

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

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

actuating at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the sensor data and coverage information relating to imaging range which each of the plurality of sensors is able to image.

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

comparing the coverage information with the sensor data; and

actuating at least one of the plurality of cameras based on the comparing result.

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

actuating at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the type of the event.

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

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

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

actuating at least 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.

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

selecting at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the coverage information and the sensor data; and

actuating the selected sensor.

13. 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 sensors comprising:

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

actuating at least one of the plurality of cameras based on the sensor data and coverage information relating to imaging range which each of the plurality of sensors is able to image.

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

comparing the coverage information with the sensor data; and

actuating at least one of the plurality of cameras based on the comparing result.

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

actuating at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the type of the event.

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

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

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

actuating at least 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.

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

selecting at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the coverage information and the sensor data; and

actuating the selected sensor.
