APPRATUS FOR MONITORING BY USING MICROPHONE ARRAY AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A monitor using a micro phone array by rotating a camera in a noise generation direction is provided to warn an intruder about criminal by generating an alarming sound or an alarming lamp. CONSTITUTION: A monitor using a micro phone array by rotating a camera in a noise generation direction is as follows. A microphone array(100) senses surrounding noise. A comparison unit(110) compares a standards sound level in the sound level of the sensed noise. A sound source direction estimating unit(120) estimates the direction of sound source of the noise if the sound level of the sensed noise exceeds the standards sound level. A camera driving part(140) rotates the camera in the presumed direction of sound source. A memory stores the image in which the camera takes a picture.
