Abstract

The invention is suitable for the field of safety monitoring, and provides a method for controlling the automatic zoom of a PTZ (pan / tilt / zoom) camera. The method comprises the following steps: establishing archival information comprising the hoisting height of a PTZ and the information of the PTZ camera; receiving an instruction, then opening the automatic zoom function of the PTZ camera, and acquiring the vertical rotation angle of the PTZ in real time; according to the current vertical rotation angle and archival information of the PTZ, calculating the focal distance of the PTZ camera; and according to the calculated focal distance of the PTZ camera, zooming the PTZ camera to the focal distance, or zooming the PTZ camera to an integer multiple of the focal distance closest to the calculated focal distance. The automatic zoom method provided by the invention has the advantages that because the zoom parameter of the PTZ camera can automatically be set according to the actual needs of a monitoring scene, the method can be applied more flexibly without carrying out zoom control by detecting the actual size of a target, thereby simplifying the complexity of a target tracking algorithm, facilitating implementing the target tracking more easily, and improving the working efficiency of the monitoring personnel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of video monitoring, in particular to a method for controlling the automatic zooming of a pan-tilt camera. Background technique [0002] At present, the PTZ camera is one of the most commonly used surveillance front-end devices in the field of surveillance today. The pan-tilt camera can drive the camera to rotate in different directions through the rotation of the pan-tilt, and can observe targets or scenes in different distances by adjusting the zoom of the camera, so that it can monitor a very large range. When the PTZ camera shoots a dynamic target, if the focal length of the camera is fixed, the size of the target on the screen will also change with the distance from the target. To maintain a certain accuracy of observation, it is necessary to keep the imaging size of the target at an appropriate Within the size range, the current PTZ cameras support manual zoom, and the image size of the target can be controlled...
