The invention discloses an automatic
monitoring system which uses one camera to realize large extent monitoring and has no dead corner. In the
system, a photographic device transmits the shot picture to a
signal processing device; a storage device is connected with the
signal processing device, the storage device stores
background image and head candidate area in an
image storage part according to the command of the
signal processing device and also stores a classifier for judging whether a
human body exists in the image, in a classifier storage part; a result
output device is connected with the
signal processing device; and when the
system detects a person exists, a monitor is used to display the image, send an abnormal signal and transmit the image to the user side. The
system adopts a fish-eye camera with the visible angle of 180 degrees to realize the human detection to the fish-eye image. By using the invention, the
human body in the fish-eye image can be correctly detected, all the human areas in the
video image can be determined, the human areas can be rectified to form two-dimensional images, and the two-dimensional images can be displayed in a
display device and sent to the user side.
