Monitoring System Selective Video Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Monitoring systems face resource shortages due to the transmission of multiple monitoring images from various cameras, leading to communication resource and human resource bottlenecks as all images are typically transmitted to a computation device for processing.
Innovation Solution
A monitoring system that identifies and determines if the same target is captured by multiple cameras within the same time span, allowing for selective image capturing and video feeding based on predetermined conditions, thereby controlling resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all monitoring images from multiple cameras are transmitted to the computation device, then complete monitoring coverage is achieved, but communication resources and human resources are depleted
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and transmits only the necessary monitoring images containing targets of interest rather than all images from multiple cameras. The determination unit identifies which cameras are actually capturing targets, and only those specific images are transmitted to the computation device, eliminating unnecessary data transmission while maintaining effective monitoring coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system segments the image transmission task by dividing cameras into groups based on whether they are capturing targets of interest. Instead of transmitting all images uniformly, the system selectively processes and transmits images from specific camera segments that are relevant, thereby reducing overall communication resource consumption.
2Measurement precision
If all monitoring images are transmitted for analysis, then accurate motion recognition is achieved, but human workload increases due to increased load on monitors
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and presents only the relevant monitoring images that contain targets of interest to the computation device and ultimately to the monitors. By filtering out images without targets before transmission, the system maintains accurate motion recognition capabilities while significantly reducing the number of images that require human review, thereby easing human workload.
3Reliability
If multiple cameras capture videos of the same target simultaneously, then comprehensive target tracking is achieved, but data redundancy increases causing resource waste
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit extracts and identifies redundant data by detecting when multiple cameras are capturing the same target. The system then selects only the necessary images for transmission based on this identification, eliminating redundant data copies while maintaining comprehensive target tracking through strategic selection of representative images from each camera.
