[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a monitoring equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, this disclosure provides a monitoring device control method, applied to a monitoring device including at least one fixed-point image acquisition module and a moving-point image acquisition module capable of acquiring images of different areas. The fixed-point image acquisition module is configured to acquire images of a fixed area. The monitoring device control method includes:

[0034] Step 101: Turn on the fixed-point image acquisition module;

[0035] Step 102: When the preset conditions are met based on the images acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module, the moving-point image acquisition module is activated and the images acquired by the moving-point image acquisition module are stored in the first storage unit; when the preset conditions are not met based on the images acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module, the use of the moving-point image acquisition module to acquire images is stopped.

[0036] The solution provided in this embodiment activates and stores the dynamic image acquisition module only when preset conditions are met. If the preset conditions are not met, the dynamic image acquisition module is deactivated. This method of storing images only when the preset conditions are met saves storage space. Compared to a solution that continuously activates the dynamic image acquisition module, the stored monitoring images in this embodiment cover a longer monitoring period. Monitoring equipment stores video content, which involves a large amount of data, while storage space is limited. Therefore, by activating and storing the dynamic image acquisition module only when preset conditions are met, the solution provided in this embodiment can support longer monitoring periods with the same amount of storage space.

[0037] The preset conditions can be set as needed. In an exemplary embodiment, the preset conditions may be considered met when a preset target is detected. The preset target may be a human figure, a face, a vehicle, etc. The solution provided in this embodiment can activate the dynamic image acquisition module when a preset target is detected. In areas with less pedestrian and vehicular traffic, the image can be stored when a target appears, and not stored when no target is present. Generally, the monitoring information when a target is present is more meaningful. Thus, while meeting monitoring requirements, the utilization rate of the storage device can be improved, and effective monitoring information can be stored for a longer period of time.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: storing the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module into a second storage unit.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: when it is determined from the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module that a preset condition is not met, storing the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module in the second storage unit; and when it is determined from the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module that the preset condition is met, stopping the storage of the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module in the second storage unit.

[0040] The solution provided in this embodiment, when it is determined that the preset conditions are met based on the images acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module, still uses the fixed-point image acquisition module to acquire images, but does not store the images acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module. This can reduce the number of images stored and extend the usage time of the storage space. When the preset conditions are met, the images acquired by the moving-point image acquisition module are stored, and no key monitoring information is lost, which can meet the monitoring requirements.

[0041] In one exemplary embodiment, the first storage unit and the second storage unit may be the same storage unit, such as the same memory card, or different storage spaces divided within the same storage unit, or they may be different storage units, such as different memory cards.

[0042] In one exemplary embodiment, when it is determined from the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module that the preset conditions are not met, the method further includes shutting down the first storage unit. Shutting down the first storage unit may involve stopping power supply to the first storage unit. However, this embodiment is not limited to this, and the first storage unit may not be shut down.

[0043] In one exemplary embodiment, when it is determined from the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module that a preset condition is met, the method further includes turning off the second storage unit. Turning off the second storage unit may involve stopping power supply to the second storage unit. However, this embodiment is not limited to this, and the second storage unit may not need to be turned off.

[0044] In one exemplary embodiment, before storing the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module to the second storage unit, the method further includes: detecting that two memory cards are present; or, detecting only one memory card and receiving a user instruction to store the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module and the image acquired by the moving-point image acquisition module to the memory card. That is, in the solution provided by this disclosure embodiment, when two memory cards are detected, one memory card is used as the first storage unit and the other as the second storage unit. When only one memory card is detected, a prompt menu can pop up for the user to select. The user can choose to store only the image acquired by the moving-point image acquisition module, or choose to store both the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module and the image acquired by the moving-point image acquisition module. If the user chooses to store only the image acquired by the moving-point image acquisition module, the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module will not be stored in subsequent operations. This disclosure embodiment is not limited to this; when multiple memory cards are detected, the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module can be left unstored according to user settings.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, when it is determined that a preset condition is met based on the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0046] Based on the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module, the target is determined, and the motor unit is activated to move the moving-point image acquisition module to track the target.

[0047] Start the sound pickup module to pick up sound;

[0048] The system initiates a waiting alert and performs alert operations only when preset alert conditions are met. These preset alert conditions could include detecting a vehicle, a human figure, or a face. The solution provided in this embodiment activates power-intensive modules such as the motor unit and the microphone module only after the preset conditions are met, thus effectively controlling power consumption.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the alarm operation may be any one or a combination of the following: turning on the speaker, turning on the warning light, reporting an alarm to the system, etc.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, when it is determined from the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module that the preset conditions are not met, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0051] Turn off the motor unit;

[0052] Turn off the microphone module;

[0053] Lift the alert and wait.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, determining whether a preset condition is met based on the image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module includes:

[0055] The image acquired by the fixed-point image acquisition module is divided into multiple sub-regions. The sum of pixels in the same sub-region is calculated, and the difference between the sum of pixels in the same sub-region of two adjacent frames is obtained. When the absolute value of the difference between sub-regions is greater than a preset threshold, the preset condition is satisfied.

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, the plurality of sub-regions may be regions of the same size, or they may be regions of different sizes.

[0057] In one exemplary embodiment, the preset condition may be satisfied when the absolute value of the difference between multiple sub-regions is greater than a preset threshold. The preset threshold can be set as needed, for example, different preset thresholds can be set according to different scenarios. For instance, a first preset threshold can be set for scenarios that mainly monitor pedestrian flow, and a second preset threshold can be set for scenarios that mainly monitor vehicle flow.

[0058] The judgment method for satisfying preset conditions described in the above embodiments is merely an example, and other methods may be used. This disclosure does not limit the methods. For example, the sum of all pixels in each frame of an image can be calculated, and the judgment can be made based on the difference between the sums of all pixels in two adjacent frames of an image. Alternatively, the mean of all pixels in each frame of an image can be calculated, and the judgment can be made based on the difference between the mean of all pixels in two adjacent frames of an image, and so on.

[0059] The following description uses a multi-view PTZ camera as an example to further illustrate the technical solution of the embodiments disclosed herein.

[0060] A multi-view PTZ camera includes n fixed-point image sensors and m moving-point image sensors. The n fixed-point image sensors are in fixed positions and together can provide panoramic field of view monitoring (such as 180-degree to 360-degree field of view monitoring). The m moving-point image sensors are in variable positions and can be driven to different positions by motor units, which can monitor local details and track targets.

[0061] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the field of view of a moving sensor and a fixed sensor provided for an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the field of view of a fixed-point sensor can be larger than that of a moving-point sensor. The fixed-point sensor provides an overview of the current scene, while the moving-point sensor performs detailed localization and image acquisition based on the target's position. Figure 2 This is just a schematic diagram of the field of view of a single fixed-point sensor. In actual use cases, there may be multiple fixed-point sensors to achieve panoramic views and enhance image quality.

[0062] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a multi-view PTZ camera structure provided as an example implementation. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 As shown, the multi-view PTZ camera includes a main control module, a control circuit, fixed-point sensors 1 to n, a moving-point sensor (in this embodiment, only one moving-point sensor is used as an example), a motor unit, a microphone unit, a speaker unit, a first storage unit (or interrupt event storage unit), a first switch control circuit, a second storage unit (or regular event storage unit), and a second switch control circuit. The main control module controls the moving-point sensor, the motor unit, the microphone unit, and the speaker unit through the control circuit. The main control module controls the power supply of the first storage unit through the first switch control circuit; the main control module controls the power supply of the second storage unit through the second switch control circuit.

[0063] The multi-view PTZ camera uses the fixed-point images detected by fixed-point sensors 1, ..., n as a prerequisite to determine whether they meet preset conditions. Power management is achieved through hardware and software control of the moving-point sensor, microphone pickup, TF card storage, and alarm / wait functions. The implementation process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring equipment control method provided in this embodiment includes:

[0065] Step 401: After the multi-view PTZ camera is powered on, the fixed-point sensor acquires images, the moving-point sensor goes into sleep mode, and other functions (such as microphone pickup) also go into sleep mode; the fixed-point sensor can acquire images by performing video recording.

[0066] The multi-view PTZ camera receives card slot presence detection signals for two memory cards, confirming that both memory cards are in place. One memory card can be used as the first storage unit, and the other as the second storage unit. In an exemplary embodiment, one memory card can be fixed as the first storage unit and the other as the second storage unit. Alternatively, one memory card can be configured as the first storage unit and the other as the second storage unit according to user instructions. Or, the storage space of the two memory cards can be allocated into two parts, with one part used as the first storage unit and the other part used as the second storage unit, and so on.

[0067] The main control module controls the second switch control circuit through the general purpose input / output port GPIO0, thereby controlling the power supply to the second storage unit, writing the image acquired by the fixed-point sensor into the second storage unit, and controlling the first switch control circuit through the general purpose input / output port GPIO1 to turn off the first storage unit;

[0068] Step 402: Determine whether the preset conditions are met based on the image acquired by the fixed-point sensor. If the preset conditions are not met, continue to determine whether the preset conditions are met based on the image acquired by the fixed-point sensor. If the preset conditions are met, proceed to step 403.

[0069] One method for determining whether a preset condition is met is as follows: For each fixed-point sensor, the current image (called the first frame image) is divided into multiple sub-regions, and the pixel values ​​(i.e., grayscale values) of the pixels in sub-region i in this image are summed to obtain Si. The pixel values ​​of the pixels in sub-region i in the second frame image acquired by the same fixed-point sensor after a preset time interval T0 (i.e., the time interval between the first and second frames T0) are summed to obtain Si'. For the same sub-region in two adjacent frames, the pixel sum difference is calculated as thi = |Si' - Si|, and so on. Figure 5 As shown.

[0070] When the sum of pixels and the difference between all sub-regions thi is less than or equal to the preset threshold TH, the image is considered not to meet the preset conditions. When there is a sub-region whose sum of pixels and the difference between thi is greater than the preset threshold TH, the image is considered to meet the preset conditions.

[0071] When there are multiple fixed-point sensors, each sensor compares its own images that are T0 time intervals apart to determine which fixed-point sensor's image meets the preset conditions.

[0072] The preset threshold TH can be configured according to the scenario, which includes, but is not limited to, human detection in street scenarios, vehicle detection in road scenarios, etc. It can be matched according to customer needs, and the preset threshold TH can be different or the same for different scenarios.

[0073] Step 403: Start the moving point sensor to acquire images;

[0074] The target is determined based on the image acquired by the fixed-point sensor. The main control module starts the moving-point sensor to acquire images through the control circuit logic. The main control module controls the motor unit to track and locate the target captured by the fixed-point sensor and activate functions such as microphone pickup. If the multi-view camera has an alarm function, it will activate the alarm waiting function. When the identified target is judged by a preset comparison algorithm, an alarm operation will be performed, including but not limited to activating the speaker and warning lights.

[0075] The main control module controls the power supply to the first storage unit through the general purpose input / output port GPIO1 and the first switch control circuit, and controls the writing of the image acquired by the moving point sensor into the first storage unit. The main control module can turn off the second storage unit (stop powering the second storage unit) through the second switch control circuit, or it can leave the second storage unit on.

[0076] At this time, the fixed-point sensor continues to acquire images, but the images acquired by the fixed-point sensor are not stored in the second storage unit. That is, after the moving-point sensor is turned on, only the images acquired by the moving-point sensor are stored. In another exemplary embodiment, after the moving-point sensor is turned on, the images acquired by the fixed-point sensor can be stored in the second storage unit.

[0077] Step 404: Determine whether the image acquired by the fixed-point sensor meets the preset conditions. If not, proceed to step 405; if it does, proceed to step 406.

[0078] The method for determining whether the image acquired by the fixed-point sensor meets the preset conditions is the same as step 402, and will not be repeated here.

[0079] Step 405: At this time, the target leaves the monitoring area of ​​the fixed sensor, the moving sensor goes into sleep mode, that is, the moving sensor stops collecting images. The motor unit is turned off by the control circuit, the MIC pickup unit is turned off to stop pickup, the alarm is lifted and waiting is lifted, the main control module turns off the first storage unit by the first switch control circuit, and returns to step 402.

[0080] Step 406: The fixed-point sensor and the moving-point sensor continue to acquire images, then return to step 404.

[0081] In this embodiment, the main control module can interact with the first and second storage units through a Secure Digital Input and Output (SDIO) or Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface.

[0082] The solution provided in this embodiment can effectively utilize storage space, extend the monitoring time supported by the first storage unit, solve the problem of customers who are away from home for a long time but still need to solve storage needs, and enhance the customer's product experience.

[0083] In the above embodiments, the multi-view PTZ camera can support two memory cards (including but not limited to TF cards), but this disclosure is not limited to this and can support more than one memory card. When multiple memory cards exist, one or more memory cards can be used as the first storage unit, and the remaining memory cards can be used as the second storage unit. Alternatively, the storage space of multiple memory cards can be uniformly allocated, with some used as the first storage unit and some as the second storage unit.

[0084] When only one memory card is detected, the storage unit without an inserted memory card will display "No card found." In this case, the images from both the stationary and moving-point sensors can be stored on the present memory card, a design choice for compatibility and ease of use. When a customer inserts a card, a prompt box can appear on the interface, allowing the customer to choose whether to record only the moving-point sensor images or store both images, thus enabling on-demand selection.

[0085] The solution provided in this embodiment can be well adapted to application scenarios such as fishpond and warehouse monitoring with low traffic and Gobi Desert with low traffic. It has the functions of reasonable low power consumption operation and reasonable storage management for applications where customers cannot frequently view stored recordings.
