CONFIGURATION MODULE FOR A VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM COMPRISING THE CONFIGURATION MODULE, METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

Video surveillance systems typically comprise a plurality of video cameras that are distributed in a surveillance region at different locations. The image data recorded by the surveillance cameras is collected in a surveillance center and automated or evaluated by surveillance personnel. It is known with the automated surveillance that certain image regions of a surveillance camera are selected and continuously monitored by means of digital image processing. A configuration module 6 for a video surveillance system 1 is proposed, comprising a plurality of surveillance cameras 2a-d, which are and/or can be arranged in a surveillance region 3 at different locations, comprising a model storage 7, which is designed to provide a model 10 of the surveillance region 3, wherein camera data of the surveillance cameras 2a-d is input and/or referenced in the model 10, further comprising an input interface 11 for the input of at least one surveillance target 5 into the model 10 and comprising a computing device 12, which determines at least one camera-specific surveillance target section 13a, b, for one of the surveillance cameras 2a, b based on the surveillance target 5 that was input.
