Video broadcasting equipment, image processing equipment, and camera
First Claim
1. A video broadcasting equipment comprising:
- a communication interfacing section for forming a communication path to an image processing equipment which performs a dynamic image processing on image information which is given by a single or a plurality of camera(s) and individually represents images of coverages of the camera(s);
a dynamic-region discriminating section for discriminating a dynamic region of said image information individually representing the images of said coverages of said single or plurality of camera(s); and
a controlling section for transmitting said image information and a result of said discriminating to said image processing equipment through said communication path.

Abstract
The invention relates to a video broadcasting equipment for downloading image information given from a camera to an image processing equipment, the image processing equipment which accomplishes centralized supervisory of image information, and the camera. The video broadcasting equipment discriminates a dynamic region of image information individually representing an image of a coverage of a camera and transmits the image information and a discrimination result of the dynamic region to the image processing equipment through a communication path. In the centralized supervisory system to which the present invention is applied, traffic on a communication path formed to the cameras does not increase, and image information to be subjected to dynamic image processing is specified according to a result of processing of discriminating the dynamic region. The discrimination processing is generally simple and its throughput is substantially small in comparison with the dynamic image processing.

16. An image processing equipment comprising:
-
a communication interfacing section for receiving image information which is given through a communication path and individually represents images of coverages of a single or a plurality of camera(s) and a discrimination result of as to whether or not the image information includes a dynamic region;
an image selecting section for selecting image information whose discrimination result is true, from the received image information; and
an image processing section for executing dynamic image processing on said selected image information.

27. A camera comprising:
-
an imaging section for imaging an image of a coverage and generating image information representing the image;
a coverage judging section wherein a relative position of said coverage to the coverages of other cameras is given in advance, for judging whether or not the relative position corresponds to adjacent coverages of a coverage assigned from outside; and
a controlling section for outputting said image information generated by said imaging section when a judgement result from said coverage judging section is true.
