Abstract
A method is provided for monitoring at least one object in a scene, which method provides that, once a moving object stops and comes to a standstill, the dwell time at standstill is counted so as to generate a signaling as a function of the dwell time. The object is described by a list or a matrix characterizing the direction of movement and the time.

17. A video monitoring system for tracking at least one object in a scene, comprising:
-
at least one image detector for detecting a sequence of images of the scene;
a processor connected to the image detector for determining a movement of at least one object in the scene based on the sequence of images, wherein the processor starts a time count when the movement of the at least one object comes to a standstill; and
an output arrangement connected to the processor for generating a signal when the time count value reaches a predetermined threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
