Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example: Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6The embodiment of the present invention provides to achieve the above purpose, and the present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions: a camera with intelligent mobile tracking function, including a mounting base 1 for installation and fixing, the bottom side of the mounting base 1 is rotatably connected with a rotating base 2, the rotating base 2 is driven by an internal motor 4, the outer wall of the rotating base 2 is connected with a base 5 through a rod body 3, so as to extend the length of the rod body 3 to expand the range, a spherical shell 6 is arranged on the bottom side of the base 5, and a camera lens 7 is installed on the bottom side of the spherical shell 6, and the lens of the camera lens 7 adopts a fisheye lens, and the fisheye lens is used to The captured wide-angle image expands the camera monitoring range, the inner wall of the base 5 is fixedly connected with the inner shell 8, and the main control board 11 is installed on the bottom side of the inner wall of the inner shell 8. The main control board 11 is electrically connected to the camera lens 7. The middle ends of the two cross-arc traction pieces 9 are provided with slide grooves, and the intersection of the two slide grooves is mounted on the top outer wall of the camera lens 7.

The inner shell 8 moves synchronously with the camera lens 7 to protect the main control board 11.

[0022] Specifically, when the video surveillance lens is offset to track the target, the motor 1 4 will drive the connected rotating seat 2 to rotate, so that the rotating seat 2 drives the structure connected thereto including the support 3, the base 5 and the camera lens 7 to rotate and displace, thereby changing the direction of video surveillance. When the traction arc piece 9 driven by the two motors 2 10 rotates, the slide groove on the traction arc piece 9 will be displaced synchronously, and the camera lens 7 will be dragged to slide in the slide groove, and the position will be offset, thereby changing the video surveillance position of the camera lens 7. The spherical shell 6 connected thereto is deflected in the cavity formed by the base 5 and the adjacent side of the inner shell 8. The design of dual position movement greatly expands the scope of video surveillance, reduces the number of cameras arranged in an area, and reduces the cost of installing and arranging surveillance cameras.

The simulation route tracking module is used to simulate the moving route of the target to quickly track the movement of the target and reduce the identification and tracking time. The signal transmission module 12 is used to transmit the tracking records to the cloud server, and transmit the identification features recorded by the camera in the area to the cameras in other areas to continue the identification and tracking work.

The camera makes a tracking action in advance according to the surveillance camera path for tracking; Step 5: When the target is lost in the monitoring area or leaves the monitoring area, the direction pointing unit 18 confirms the direction according to the target's last active route, and sends the recorded contour features and RGB color features to the nearest camera in the direction through the signal transmission module 12; Step 6: The camera receiving the contour feature and the RGB color feature will be in a patrol state, searching for similar targets in a large range, and pairing similar targets multiple times. The pairing process will first use the contour capture unit 13 for contour pairing, and then use the RGB capture unit 14 for pairing; Step 7: If the pairing fails in step 6, the image is adjusted and re-paired. The specific steps of adjusting the image are: focusing the picture to improve the clarity of the detection area, and re-using the fisheye correction unit 19 to correct the distortion, and using the focus correction unit 20 to correct the blurred area. If the pairing is successful, the tracking is restarted; Step 8: If the target is completely lost, a tracking video is generated through the signal transmission module 12, and the image outline of the target in the tracking video is marked.
