Hand-off monitoring method and hand-off monitoring system

A hand-off monitoring system for monitoring a space divided into a plurality of monitoring regions, wherein each of the monitoring regions is monitored by a surveillance camera, comprising:

• a signal receiving module for receiving a warning signal;
• a signal analyzing module for identifying a source location where the warning signal comes from and a first surveillance camera related to the source location according to the warning signal;
• an image analyzing module for identifying an object triggering the warning signal according to a video signal provided by the first surveillance camera;
• a moving path predicting module for predicting a moving path of the object according to a non-linear movement prediction model, wherein the moving path comprises the object moving from a first monitoring region monitored by the first surveillance camera to a second monitoring region monitored by a second surveillance camera and from the second monitoring region to a third monitoring region monitored by a third surveillance camera;
• and
• a control module for performing a control operation, according to the moving path, to control at least the first surveillance camera, the second surveillance camera and the third surveillance camera so as to hand-off monitor the object.

A computer apparatus for communicating with a plurality of surveillance cameras to hand-off monitor a space, wherein the space is divided into a plurality of monitoring regions and the monitoring regions are monitored by the surveillance cameras respectively, comprising:

• a signal transceiver for receiving a warning signal and a plurality of video signals provided by the surveillance cameras;
• and
• a processor for executing a computer readable program having a plurality of procedure steps comprising:
• identifying a source location where the warning signal comes from and a first surveillance camera related to the source location according to the warning signal;
• identifying an object triggering the warning signal according to a first video signal provided by the first surveillance camera;
• predicting a moving path of the object according to a non-linear movement prediction model, wherein the moving path comprises the object moving from a first monitoring region monitored by the first surveillance camera to a second monitoring region monitored by a second surveillance camera and from the second monitoring region to a third monitoring region monitored by a third surveillance camera;
• and
• performing a control operation, according to the moving path, to control at least the first surveillance camera, the second surveillance camera and the third surveillance camera so as to hand-off monitor the object.
