Some or all of the blocks illustrated in FIG. 3 may be software modules composed of various programming languages ​​or scripting languages ​​that run on a processor.

[0064] First, referring to FIG. 3, the processor (110) of the port security system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a surveillance data acquisition unit (111), a shooting data acquisition unit (112), a security threat evaluation unit (113), and a security measure execution unit (115).

[0065] The above-mentioned surveillance data acquisition unit (111) sets a surveillance area in the port (10) and acquires surveillance data for objects moving within the surveillance area.

[0066] The surveillance data acquisition unit (111) can set a predetermined area including the surroundings of the port (10) and the storage yard as a surveillance area. At this time, it is preferable to set the area where surveillance targets such as fences (13) and container cargo are located and the surroundings as a surveillance area, but it is not limited thereto, and the surveillance area may be set based on the location where multiple lidars (11) and multiple cameras (12) are installed.

[0067] Additionally, the surveillance data acquisition unit (111) can collect LiDAR data from a plurality of LiDARs (11) in real time or at regular intervals, and acquire LiDAR data as surveillance data in which an object recognized as a person exists among the objects moving within the surveillance area.

[0068] That is, the aforementioned surveillance data may be lidar data acquired by at least one lidar (11), such surveillance data may be provided to a security threat evaluation unit (113) for the evaluation of security threats, and information regarding the location of the lidar (11) that provided the surveillance data may be provided to a shooting data acquisition unit (112).

[0070] The shooting data acquisition unit (112) can identify at least one camera (12) capable of capturing an object recognized as a person among a plurality of cameras (12) based on the location of the lidar (11) that provided surveillance data, and can acquire shooting data captured from the identified camera (12).

[0071] At this time, the shooting data acquisition unit (112) checks whether the identified camera (12) is activated, and if it is confirmed that it is already activated, it collects shooting data from the camera (12), and if it is confirmed that it is deactivated, it first sends a command to activate the camera (12) and then collects shooting data from the activated camera (12).

[0072] In addition, the shooting data acquired from the shooting data acquisition unit (112) can be provided to the security threat evaluation unit (113).

[0073] At this time, the shooting data acquisition unit (112) may provide the shooting data to a control room or security officer for security management. In this case, the entire shooting data may be provided, but it is preferable to provide an image captured from the shooting data.

[0074] The above security threat evaluation unit (113) evaluates security threats to surveillance targets within the surveillance area based on surveillance data and shooting data.

[0075] The security threat evaluation unit (113) can generate object evaluation data by fusing surveillance data and shooting data, predict the future path of an object recognized as a person based on the generated object evaluation data, and then evaluate security threats based on the predicted future path.

[0076] Here, the aforementioned object evaluation data may be a fusion of shooting data by projecting surveillance data onto a two-dimensional plane, a calibration that matches the relationship between coordinate systems, an object segment information obtained from shooting data and an object distance and position extracted from surveillance data, or a fusion of pixel information of shooting data and point cloud information of surveillance data, and in addition, may be generated by various LiDAR (11) and camera (12) data fusion technologies.

[0077] Additionally, the security threat evaluation unit (113) can analyze the speed, direction, and movement path of an object recognized as a person from the object evaluation data, and predict the future path that the object recognized as a person may move based on the analyzed speed, direction, and movement path.

[0078] At this time, the security threat assessment unit (113) may be equipped with an artificial intelligence model for predicting future paths or a path prediction algorithm based on the object's speed, direction, and past movement paths, and in addition, various techniques that can predict future paths using the object's movement patterns, past movement paths, etc. may be applied.

[0079] Additionally, the security threat evaluation unit (113) can evaluate security threats based on whether there is at least one monitored object on the future path and the security level set on the monitored object on the future path. At this time, the security threats evaluated by the security threat evaluation unit (113) can be divided into at least multiple stages.

[0080] That is, the security threat assessment unit (113) can raise the level of the security threat if there is at least one monitored object on the future path, and lower the level of the security threat if there is no monitored object on the future path.

[0081] In addition, a security level can be pre-set for each monitored object, and the security threat evaluation unit (113) can evaluate the security threat by adjusting the level of the security threat upward or downward according to the security level of the monitored object.

[0082] Meanwhile, a security level DB (114) can be established to store information on the security level set for each monitored object, and the security threat evaluation unit (113) can check the security level of a monitored object existing on the object's future path from the security level DB (114).

[0083] In this way, the security threat evaluation unit (113) can improve the accuracy of the security threat evaluation by evaluating the security threat based on the future path of an object recognized as a person.

[0084] The above security measure execution unit (115) can execute predefined security measures based on the results of evaluating security threats.

[0085] The security measure execution unit (115) receives the results of the security threat evaluation from the security threat evaluation unit (113), identifies a security measure scenario that matches the results, and executes the identified security measure scenario. For example, it can execute security measures such as outputting an alarm, providing a warning about the security threat to the security control room and security personnel, or securing evidence about the security threat.

[0086] In addition, multiple security measure scenarios that are subdivided according to the results of the security threat assessment may be defined in advance, and a security measure scenario DB (116) in which such security measure scenarios are stored may be constructed.

[0087] That is, the security measure execution unit (115) can quickly identify at least one security measure scenario corresponding to the current security threat from the security measure scenario DB (116), and can execute the security measure most suitable for the current situation according to the security measure scenario.

[0088] The present invention can be implemented by the processor (110) executing at least one executable instruction or at least one executable program stored in memory (130), and in the case of the port security method according to an embodiment of the present invention described below, it can be implemented in the same way by the processor (110) executing at least one executable instruction or at least one executable program stored in memory (130).

At this time, it generates object evaluation data by fusing the surveillance data and shooting data (S310), predicts the future path of an object recognized as a person based on the generated object evaluation data (S320), and evaluates security threats based on the predicted future path (S330).
