Dynamic Display Control for Surveillance Image Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing number of surveillance cameras in public areas burdens watchers and existing techniques fail to efficiently switch displays to provide effective visual recognition of suspicious persons moving within the camera's range, especially in dynamic environments.
Innovation Solution
A display control apparatus that includes a processor and display unit capable of acquiring and processing multiple images from different directions, detecting human behavior and movement, and switching to display the relevant images in real-time to ensure visual recognition by aligning the display direction with the person's movement, using a head-mounted display with image capture units and a half-mirror display system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the number of surveillance cameras is increased to extend surveillance range, then the surveillance coverage is improved, but the burden on watchers increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display control apparatus dynamically switches between multiple camera views based on detected suspicious behavior, transforming the static monitoring task into a dynamic, adaptive process that automatically prioritizes relevant feeds, thereby reducing watcher burden while maintaining comprehensive surveillance coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses behavior detection results as feedback to automatically control display switching, creating a closed-loop system where detected suspicious activities trigger automatic view changes to relevant camera feeds, enabling watchers to focus on priority areas without manually monitoring all cameras
2Measurement precision
If displays are switched to images from cameras detecting suspicious persons, then visual recognition of suspicious persons is improved, but the response time and efficiency in dynamic environments deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary behavior analysis on captured images to detect suspicious patterns before they become critical threats, enabling proactive switching to relevant camera views in advance, which improves both early detection accuracy and response time to developing situations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual watcher decision-making with automated image processing and behavior detection algorithms that analyze captured images, detect suspicious patterns, and control display switching, thereby eliminating human reaction time delays and enabling faster, more consistent responses to suspicious activities
Data Source
AI summary
A display control apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire a peripheral image around a predetermined object captured by image capture units. The predetermined object is different from the image capture units. The processor is also configured to determine whether or not a moving situation of an image of a moving subject included in the acquired peripheral image corresponds to a predetermined specific situation. The moving situation is a moving situation of the image of the moving subject with respect to the predetermined object. The processor is further configured to execute control to produce an output so as to display distinguishably on a display an image of a partial region among the peripheral image, the partial region including the image of the moving subject, when the moving situation of the image of the moving subject corresponds to the predetermined moving situation.
