SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE MONITORING AT LEAST ONE OBSERVATION AREA

摘要

System and method for remote monitoring of at least one observation area, comprising at least one first camera (110) arranged on a rotating platform (120), said first camera (110) is a line scanning camera for providing high definition panorama pictures of said observation area; at least one second camera (130) arranged on a stationary platform (140), said second camera (130) is a video camera with Pan/Tilt/Zoom functionality for providing real time video from a selected scene within said observation area; an angular position sensor device for triggering the read-out of each line in said first line scanning camera for providing each pixel in the panorama image with a corresponding azimuth and elevation angle; a processing device (150) connected to said first and second cameras (110, 130) for capturing, processing and coordinating azimuth and elevation signals received from said first and second cameras (110, 130).
