The invention discloses an intelligent visual sensor network moving target relay tracking system based on a GPS (global positioning system) and a GIS (geographic information system). The intelligent visual sensor network moving target relay tracking system comprises a plurality of monitoring camera shooting unit, each monitoring camera shooting unit comprises a monitoring camera, a GPS receiving positioning module and a wired/wireless communication module are embedded into or disposed in each monitoring camera shooting unit, each monitoring camera shooting unit is used for acquiring video sequences in a monitoring area, and each wired/wireless communication module is used for transmitting the video sequences to a monitoring center via a wired or wireless digital communication network. The monitoring center comprises a wired/wireless communication module, a target analysis module, a relay tracking scheduling module, a relay tracking network generation module, a database server, a display interactive module and the GIS. The intelligent visual sensor network moving target relay tracking system can achieve independent discovery, real-time positioning and relay tracking of movable suspicious targets, integrally display monitoring videos of the targets on an electronic map and achieve multiple functions of emergency linkage, video monitoring, scheduling commanding and the like.
