Abstract
In a method for detecting an abnormity of an image capturing device, an image of a monitored area is captured, and an image texture of the image is calculated according to the image. When a count of image textures recorded in a history record list is greater than a predetermined value, the method compares the image texture with at least two image textures recorded in the history record list, to determine whether the image is abnormal. If the image is abnormal, the method increments an abnormity record value of the image capturing device by a value of one. Once the abnormity record value is equal to an alert value, the method generates an alarm to warn of an abnormity of the image capturing device.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method of an image capturing device, the method comprising:
- capturing an image of a monitored area, and calculating an image texture of the image;
- upon the condition that a count of image textures recorded in a history record list is greater than a predetermined value, calculating texture difference values between the image texture of the image and at least two image textures recorded in the history record list;
- determining that the image is abnormal and incrementing an abnormity record value of the image capturing device by a value of one, upon the condition that all of the texture difference values are greater than a threshold value;
- and
- generating an alarm upon the condition that the abnormity record value is equal to or greater than an alert value, the alert value being a value that represents how many abnormal images lead to the alarm generation.
An electronic device detecting an abnormity of an image capturing device, the electronic device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a storage system;
- and
- one or more modules that are stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more modules comprising:
- a calculation module that captures an image of a monitored area, and calculates an image texture of the image;
- the calculation module further calculates texture difference values between the image texture of the image and at least two image textures of the area recorded in a history record list that is stored in the storage system, upon the condition that a count of image textures recorded in the history record list is greater than a predetermined value;
- a determination module that determines that the image is abnormal and increments an abnormity record value of the image capturing device by a value of one, upon the condition that all of the texture difference values are greater than a threshold value;
- and
- an alarm module that generates an alarm upon the condition that the abnormity record value is equal to or greater than an alert value, the alert value being a value that represents how many abnormal images lead to the alarm generation.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a method for detecting an abnormity of an image-capturing device, the method comprising:
- capturing an image of a monitored area, and calculating an image texture of the image;
- upon the condition that a count of image textures of the area recorded in a history record list is greater than a predetermined value, calculating texture difference values between the image texture of the image and at least two image textures recorded in the history record list;
- determining that the image is abnormal and incrementing an abnormity record value of the image capturing device by a value of one, upon the condition that all of the texture difference values are greater than a threshold value;
- and
- generating an alarm upon the condition that the abnormity record value is equal to or greater than an alert value, the alert value being a value that represents how many abnormal images lead to the alarm generation.
