IMAGE PROCESSING BASED DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTING SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An image processing based dynamically adjusting surveillance system comprising:
- at least one camera configured to capture a view containing a key region that encompasses a desired view;
a control unit receiving a camera image from the camera, the control unit using image processing based detection configured to detect desired objects in a region of the image of the camera; and
a monitor that displays images it receives from the control unit.

Abstract
An image processing based dynamically adjusting surveillance system includes a camera configured for capturing a view that contains a key region encompassing a desired key view. The system further includes a control unit receiving images from the camera and a monitor that displays images it receives from the control unit. The system may include a first and a second predetermined region of camera view. In one application, the first predetermined region is chosen to include the blind spot of the side mirror. The second predetermined region is chosen to correspond generally to a region observed in a conventional side mirror. When there is no object of interest in the blind spot of a driver, the controller displays the view of the camera that is in the second predetermined region. When there is an object of interest in the blind spot of a driver, the controller displays the first predetermined region.
