3 results about "Pan tilt zoom" patented technology

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for controlling a patrol route of a thermal camera, wherein the thermal camera is a pan-tilt camera or a pan-tilt-zoom camera, and the method includes the following steps: obtaining a patrol route, the patrol route including a plurality of views of an area or a facility and the moving order and / or viewing time of the thermal camera for traversing the plurality of views; controlling the thermal camera to traverse the plurality of views according to the moving order and viewing time of the patrol route; for each view: calculating or extracting a temperature distribution based on a thermal image from the thermal camera; estimating whether there is an increased risk of overheating or overcooling in the view based on the temperature distribution; and if there is an increased risk of overheating or overcooling, adjusting the moving order and viewing time of the thermal camera to more frequently show the view with the increased risk of overheating or overcooling. The present disclosure further relates to a monitoring system.

The present disclosure provides an integrated system and method designed to enhance management, control, and monitoring of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras and static cameras, as well as other fabrication units. The present invention includes scale management for efficient large scale operation, precise PTZ control through digital pixel bounding box transformation, and automated camera localization using machine learning models employing remote processing. In addition, the present invention facilitates live PTZ mobile simulation via joysticks, remote monitoring and management through centralized web-based portals, and extension of system capabilities through third party APIs on cloud-based platforms. According to the integration method, the automation, flexibility and control of the video production environment are remarkably improved, so that the overall quality and efficiency are improved.

A video surveillance system and method for a facility includes multiple video cameras mounted at locations with corresponding coordinates. Each camera has an FOV that extends to cover an FOV range defined by coordinates defining a field of view (FOV) volume. A controller receives the coordinates of an event location and determines which cameras have an FOV volume encompassing the event location. The system automatically displays video from cameras covering the event while excluding video from cameras not covering the event. In some cases, the system supports pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras with preset positioning, automatically moving the PTZ cameras to the positioning covering the event location. The system can handle events spanning a range of locations and can identify blind spots not covered by the FOV of any camera.
