Integrated active surveillance system
First Claim
1. An integrated active surveillance system capable of automatically identifying targets of interest, taking and transmitting magnified images of said targets to remote monitors, comprising an image-taking device, an image process device, a memory device, a control device, a transmitting device, and at least one display device;
- said image-taking device including at least one set of cameras for taking wide-angle images of full-view and narrow-angle images of said targets of interest within a surveillance area depending on actual need;
said image process device being connected to said image-taking device and adapted to continuously processing said wide-angle images taken by said image-taking device to search for targets of interest and to inform said control device about the directions of the targets so that the magnified images of said targets can be taken;
said memory device being connected to said image-process device for recording said magnified images of said targets of interest and said wide-angle images;
said transmitting device being connected to said memory device for transmitting images stored in said memory device to said at least one display device; and
said control device being connected to said image-taking device, said image-process device, said memory device, and said transmitting device for coordinating directions in which said wide-angle and narrow-angles images are taken, and processing, storing, and transmitting said images in the system.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an integrated active surveillance system, which can automatically identify targets of interest, take the magnified images of such targets, and store and transmit the images to remote monitors. The system contains: one image-taking device, which includes one camera module to take the wide-angle image of the surveillance area and magnified narrow-angle images of targets of interest; one image process device, which is connected to the image-taking device, screening wide-angle images to search for the targets of interest, and the magnified images of the targets are taken; one memory device, which is connected to the image process device, saving both the wide-angle images and magnified images; one transmitting device, which is connected to the memory device, transmitting image data to at least one remote monitor; and one control device, which is connected to all devices mentioned above, to coordinate the image-taking directions, image data processing, storing, and transmitting.
