Abstract

A method and system of evaluating a valid analysis region of a specific scene, wherein the method and system performs image analyses on continuous images/frames of a specific scene to obtain detectable object or event information therein, so as to generate a closed valid analysis region to reduce the overall data and loading of image analyses during actual monitoring, processing and analyzing of the specific scene.

Claims (23)

1. A method for evaluating the valid analysis region of a specific scene, comprising:

extracting a plurality of continuous images in a specific scene during a time interval;

performing image analyses on the plurality of continuous images to obtain detectable objects in the plurality of continuous images/frames;

generating a static and closed valid analysis region based on a first plurality of different objects of said detectable objects obtained by said image analyses on the plurality of continuous images with the boundary of the static and closed valid analysis region being not formed by the boundary of any object of the first plurality of different objects, wherein said first plurality of different objects are located entirely inside the static and closed valid analysis region, wherein said static and closed valid analysis region is not set through a user's selection and is not changing for tracking a particular object; and

performing real-time monitoring of the static and closed valid analysis region that is not changing for tracking a particular object, wherein image analyses are performed to obtain a second object that is being monitored with the second object being present inside the static and closed valid analysis region after the static and closed valid analysis region is generated, and the image analyses outside the static and closed valid analysis region are not performed during the real-time monitoring of the static and closed valid analysis region.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprises displaying the static and closed valid analysis region on a monitor to assist a user to configure a detection condition for monitoring the static and closed valid analysis region.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the detection condition is a line segment in the static and closed valid analysis region.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the detection condition is a sub-region of the static and closed valid analysis region.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of different objects comprise a person or a vehicle.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprises distinguishing the objects obtained from analyzing the specific scene in different time intervals, so as to obtain different valid analysis regions of the specific scene in different time intervals, respectively.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprises distinguishing and respectively connecting the objects obtained from analyzing the specific scene in different levels of brightness, so as to obtain different valid analysis regions of the specific scene corresponding to different levels of brightness respectively.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprises automatically configuring a detection condition for monitoring the static and closed valid analysis region.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprises assisting a user in selecting different detection technologies.

10. A system for evaluating the valid analysis region of an image, comprising:

an extracting module, for extracting a plurality of continuous images within a time interval in a specific scene;

an analysis module, for performing image analyses on the plurality of continuous images to obtain detectable objects therein;

a learning module, for generating a static and closed valid analysis region according to a first plurality of different objects of the detectable objects obtained by said image analyses on the plurality of continuous images with the boundary of the static and closed valid analysis region being not formed by the boundary of any object of the first plurality of different objects, wherein said first plurality of different objects are located entirely inside the static and closed valid analysis region, wherein said static and closed valid analysis region is not set through a user's selection and is not changing for tracking a particular object; and

a configuring module for displaying the static and closed valid analysis region on a monitor to assist a user to configure a detection condition for real-time monitoring of the static and closed valid analysis region that is not changing for tracking a particular object, wherein image analyses are performed to obtain a second object that is being monitored with the second object being present inside the static and closed valid analysis region after the static and closed valid analysis region is generated, and the image analyses outside the static and closed valid analysis region are not performed during the real-time monitoring of the static and closed valid analysis region.

11. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the detection condition is a line segment in the static and closed valid analysis region.

12. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the detection condition is a sub-region of the static and closed valid analysis region.

13. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the first plurality of different objects comprise a person or a vehicle.

14. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the learning module further comprises distinguishing objects obtained from analyzing the specific scene in different time intervals so as to obtain different valid analysis regions of the specific scene in said different time intervals, respectively.

15. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the learning module further comprises distinguishing and respectively connecting the objects obtained from analyzing the specific scene in different levels of brightness so as to obtain different valid analysis regions of the specific scene in said different levels of brightness, respectively.
