METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AN ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for monitoring an environment through a plurality of sensors, wherein a control system receives information from on e or more sensors of said plurality and uses said information in order to mo nitor said environment. The method comprises a setup stage wherein an operat or creates a model of an environment by defining a plurality of cells corres ponding to areas of said environment, and then creates cell/sensor relations hips by defining for each sensor at least one possible position which is ass ociated with at least one cell. For each position the sensor is assigned by the operator a monitoring judgment for the associated cell. The method also comprises an operational stage wherein the control system, in order to perfo rm a surveillance function, finds those sensors which can be used for carryi ng out the requested surveillance function and controls them based on the mo nitoring judgments and the cell/sensor relationships.
