Camera layout determination support device

摘要

A device which can support a determination of a camera layout by automatically preparing the camera layout that satisfies a customer request based on the customer request including a surveillance layout. Specifically, a need table that is a data set of a plurality of arrangement candidate cameras satisfying the customer request is prepared from the customer request including the surveillance layout. An arrangement of the plurality of the arrangement candidate cameras on a map is calculated based on the need table using a clustering method and a temporary layout of cameras is prepared. Then, an arrangement layout of the cameras in the surveillance layout is determined based on the temporary layout.

主权项

1. A camera layout determination support device for supporting a determination of a layout of cameras that conduct surveillance on a surveillance area, comprising:
a need table preparation unit that generates a need table which is a data set including data of candidate cameras to be arranged, desired camera functions satisfying customer requests, and customer-defined small areas into which the surveillance area is divided; and a clustering unit that clusters data sets including the need table, and generates temporary position data of the candidate cameras to be arranged, wherein the need table preparation unit receives data of a surveillance layout including the customer-defined small areas, divides the surveillance area into blocks using grids, and generates a map in which each of the customer-defined small areas is divided into a plurality of the blocks; and receives data of customer requests including desired camera functions for each of the small areas, generates a customer request table that is data concerning whether or not each of the desired functions is necessary for each of the small areas, associates the customer request table with the map, and calculates a number of necessary cameras to be arranged according to the customer request table and the map in order to generate the need table; and the clustering unit receives the data sets including the map and the need table, labels the block using an area vector described using a fuzzy set, and clusters the data sets including the map and the need table, in order to generate the temporary position data of the candidate cameras to be arranged.
