VIDEO MONITORING DEVICE, VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEM, VIDEO MONITORING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING VIDEO MONITORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18215428 Titled 'VIDEO MONITORING DEVICE, VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEM, VIDEO MONITORING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING VIDEO MONITORING PROGRAM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a video monitoring device that can track and capture images of a moving object. The device uses position information to control the direction of multiple movable cameras. It evaluates the visibility of the object in the video captured by each camera based on their positions and selects the camera with the best visibility. The selected camera's video of the object is then displayed. The visibility is determined by calculating the angular speed at which each camera needs to move to keep the object in sight.
Original Abstract Submitted
A video monitoring device includes processing circuitry to acquire position information indicating a position of a mobile object; to command image capturing directions of a plurality of movable cameras provided at predetermined positions; to evaluate a viewability level of the mobile object in a video captured by each of the plurality of movable cameras based on the position of the mobile object and the positions of the plurality of movable cameras; to select a movable camera for use for image capturing of the mobile object from the plurality of movable cameras based on the viewability level; and to display the video of the mobile object captured by the selected movable camera, wherein the viewability level is evaluated based on an angular speed of swiveling of each of the plurality of movable cameras necessary for each of the plurality of movable cameras to keep sight of the mobile object.
