METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING AND ADJUSTING AN AREA TO BE MONITORED BY A VIDEO CAMERA

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining and setting an area to be monitored by a video camera, wherein a field of vision detected by the camera that results from the installation and calibration of the camera is reduced to the area to be monitored in that the position and orientation of the camera are described by means of georeferenced coordinates, which are taken from a georeferenced map of the area to be monitored, and a mask is automatically determined using the georeferenced coordinates, which mask masks contents of the field of vision outside of the area to be monitored during the mapping onto the field of vision. The invention further relates to a corresponding device and a corresponding camera assembly.
