Abstract
A method for tracking a moving object using an image capture device captures a plurality of images of a monitored scene using a lens module of the image capture device, and detects a moving object in the monitored scene from the captured images. The method further determines movement data of the image capture device according to movement data of the moving object, and controls the image capture device to move along a rail system to track the moving object according to the movement data of the image capture device.
Claims16
A method for tracking a moving object using an image capture device, the image capture device being installed on a rail system, the method comprising:
- capturing a plurality of images of a monitored scene using a lens module of the image capture device;
- detecting an area of motion in the monitored scene from the captured images, the area of motion being regarded as a moving object;
- determining movement data of the image capture device according to movement data of the area of motion;
- and
- controlling the image capture device moving along the rail system to track the moving object according to the movement data of the image capture device.
An image capture device installed on a rail system, comprising:
- a lens module;
- a storage device;
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more modules that are stored in the storage device and are executed by the at least one processor, the one or more modules comprising instructions:
- to capture a plurality of images of a monitored scene using a lens module of the image capture device;
- to detect an area of motion in the monitored scene from the captured images, the area of motion being regarded as a moving object;
- to determine movement data of the image capture device according to movement data of the area of motion;
- and
- to control the image capture device moving along the rail system to track the moving object according to the movement data of the image capture device.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an image capture device, causes the processor to perform a method for tracking a moving object using the image capture device, the image capture device being installed on a rail system, the method comprising:
- capturing a plurality of images of a monitored scene using a lens module of the image capture device;
- detecting an area of motion in the monitored scene from the captured images, the area of motion being regarded as a moving object;
- determining movement data of the image capture device according to movement data of the area of motion;
- and
- controlling the image capture device moving along the rail system to track the moving object according to the movement data of the image capture device.
