The invention relates to a monitoring devicefor monitoring a man-overboard situation in a ship sectionwherein the ship sectionis monitored by video technology using at least one cameraand the camerais designed to provide surveillance in the form of video data. The monitoring device comprises an evaluation devicesaid evaluation devicehaving an interface for receiving the video data, wherein the evaluation deviceis designed to detect a moving object in the ship sectionon the basis of the video data and to determine a kinematic variable of the moving object. The evaluation deviceis designed to determine a starting point in three dimensions on the basis of the video data and the kinematic variable of the moving object and to evaluate the moving object as a man-overboard event on the basis of the starting point.

The invention relates to a monitoring devicefor monitoring a man-overboard situation in a ship section, wherein the ship sectionis monitored by video technology using at least one camera, and the camerais designed to provide surveillance in the form of video data. The monitoring device comprises an analysis device, said analysis devicehaving an interfacefor transferring the video data, and the analysis deviceis designed to detect a moving object in the ship sectionon the basis of the video data and determine a kinematic variable of the moving object. The analysis deviceis also designed to determine a scale on the basis of the video data and the kinematic variable in order to determine the extentof the moving object and evaluate the moving object as a man-overboard event on the basis of the extentthereof.

Monitoring device, and method for monitoring a man overboard situation

In spacious areas or building complexes, it is customary to use monitoring systems that comprise monitoring cameras and other monitoring sensors that record monitoring data and forward said monitoring data to a monitoring control centre or the like for the purpose of evaluation. Depending on the size of the monitored area, the complexity of the monitoring system can increase to a great extent. Upwards of a certain size of monitoring area, it is necessary for several monitoring persons also to be employed in parallel in order to inspect the monitoring data. A monitoring installationfor a monitoring area B having a plurality of monitoring stationsfor usersof the monitoring installation, wherein the monitoring installationis designed to assign a respective user ID ID_, ID_, ID_, ID_to the usersof the monitoring installation, wherein the monitoring stationseach have a display device, wherein the monitoring stationsare designed to present a user interfacefor the monitoring installationhaving a modelof the monitoring areaon the display device, and having a collaboration device, wherein the collaboration deviceis designed to show a first of the user IDs ID_6from a first monitoring stationtogether with an associated piece of user information as collaboration data with the modelon the user interfaceof at least one second monitoring station, is proposed.

Monitoring installation for a monitoring area, method and computer program

A monitoring system for monitoring a monitoring area, having an input interface for accepting monitoring images of the monitoring area, having a localization module for locating at least one moving monitoring object in the monitoring area, wherein the localization module is designed to locate a position of the monitoring object, having a definition module for defining a position-dependent protected area in the monitoring area, and having a monitoring module for monitoring the protected area, wherein the definition module is designed to define the position-dependent protected area on the basis of the position of the moving monitoring object.
