Abstract
A surveillance apparatus for indicating the detection of motion is provided that can perform a surveillance method. A motion detection unit is configured to detect motion of an object in the field of view of a camera. A processor is configured to identify a region of video data captured by the camera that includes the motion of the object. A determination unit is configured to determine perimeter data that represents at least a portion of a perimeter of the region of the video data. A combining unit is configured to combine the perimeter data with a video feed captured by a different camera.
Claims10
A surveillance apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to execute instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- detect a moving object in a field of view of a first camera;
- identify a region of the moving object in a first video captured by the first camera;
- determine a perimeter of the region of the moving object in the first video, the perimeter tracing a shape of the moving object in the first video;
- overlay the perimeter of the region of the moving object in the first video on a second video captured by a second camera which is different from the first camera;
- and
- output the second video, which is captured by the second camera and is to be displayed on a display, on which the perimeter tracing the shape of the moving object in the first video captured by the first camera is overlaid,
- wherein an interior region of the perimeter overlaid on the second video is semi-transparent, and
- wherein a type of the moving object is identified from the shape that is represented by the perimeter, for controlling display of the perimeter tracing the shape of the moving object based on the identified type.
A surveillance method comprising:
- detecting a moving object in a field of view of a first camera;
- identifying a region of the moving object in a first video captured by the first camera;
- determining a perimeter of the region of the moving object in the first video, the perimeter tracing a shape of the moving object in the first video;
- overlaying the perimeter of the region of the moving object in the first video on a second video captured by a second camera which is different from the first camera;
- and
- outputting the second video, which is captured by the second camera and is to be displayed on a display, on which the perimeter tracing the shape of the moving object in the first video captured by the first camera is overlaid,
- wherein an interior region of the perimeter overlaid on the second video is semi-transparent, and
- wherein a type of the moving object is identified from the shape that is represented by the perimeter, for controlling display of the perimeter tracing the shape of the moving object based on the identified type.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that, when implemented by a surveillance apparatus, causes the surveillance apparatus to perform a surveillance method comprising:
- detecting a moving object in a field of view of a first camera;
- identifying a region of the moving object in a first video captured by the first camera;
- determining a perimeter of the region of the moving object in the first video, the perimeter tracing a shape of the moving object in the first video;
- overlaying the perimeter of the region of the moving object in the first video on a second video captured by a second camera which is different from the first camera;
- and
- outputting the second video, which is captured by the second camera and is to be displayed on a display, on which the perimeter tracing the shape of the moving object in the first video captured by the first camera is overlaid,
- wherein an interior region of the perimeter overlaid on the second video is semi-transparent, and
- wherein a type of the moving object is identified from the shape that is represented by the perimeter, for controlling display of the perimeter tracing the shape of the moving object based on the identified type.
