In accordance to invention at least one video camera is mounted in auditorium for producing image of auditorium, and at least one computer with memory, interconnected via a local area network, while in memory of computer a database is generated, storing data, reflecting filling of auditorium, in accordance to sold tickets, and computer can process video signal received from video camera for producing data about filling of auditorium with possible storage of these data in memory for following analysis, and also with possible comparison of produced data to data stored in database and with possible generation of signal of disruption of set mode in case if mismatch of data being compared exceeds the predetermined threshold value.

System to prevent accidents on railway tracks

System to prevent accidents on railway tracks

Invention relates to safety devices to be installed on dangerous section of railways. Observation and warning equipment with video processor subsystem for processing and recording images, alarm signaling unit and transmitting part of wireless communication subsystem is installed in area of potential dangerous section of track, for instance, crossing area. Train is furnished with train movement inter locking equipment, sound annunciator, video monitor and receiving part of wireless communication subsystem. Said video processor subsystem includes two video cameras covering potentially dangerous section of track. It includes also video image processor, image recorder, timer, video camera control unit, illumination pickup, lighting unit and resolver. Transmitting and receiving parts of wireless communication subsystem are made in form of video image transmitter and receiver with voice accompaniment. Display of video monitor is in field of vision of driver. Train movement inter locking equipment is operated by driver. System provides driver with on-line information on situation at nearest dangerous zone of crossing. Driver takes decision on emergency braking of train or continuation of movement basing of information available.

Multichannel video-audio surveillance method and integrated high-frequency system for realization of said method

Multichannel video-audio surveillance method and integrated high-frequency system for realization of said method

Method includes surveillance of state of object, by surveillance blocks, each of which includes camera and microphone, low-frequency signals received from each block are converted to high-frequency television modulated signals, which are inputted into unified cable main, formed by coaxial television cable, along which received independent signals are sent to input of control panel, in form of television receiver or computer, provided with extension board, allowing to receive and display images of several surveillance objects concurrently, while power is fed along coaxial chamber of television cable main.

Method for multichannel video-audio surveillance and system for realization of said method (variants)

Method for multichannel video-audio surveillance and system for realization of said method (variants)

Method includes video surveillance of controlled object state, while into television cable main of object high-frequency television modulated signal is sent, while to receive signal concerning state of S objects, each of which includes group of N video surveillance blocks, including camera and microphone, video-audio signals from each group of N video surveillance blocks are combined along low frequency, received complex video signal is converted from each group of N video surveillance blocks into high-frequency television modulated signal and it is synchronized with unified cable main - coaxial television cable, in arbitrary groups combination, via which received independent S signals are sent to input of visualization and/or recording systems.

Method of detecting objects

Method of detecting objects

Method comprises subtracting reference and current images, breaking the image series to be processed into fragments, and converting the characteristic features of the images into signals. The signals from one of the images are recorded as reference ones and are compared, e.g., by subtracting, with corresponding current signals, and, after the threshold processing, the difference signals obtained are converted into the binary signals for control of spatial filtration . As a result, the fragments of the current image, for which the control signals exceed the threshold, are transmitted, whereas the fragments, for which the signals are equal or less than the threshold value, are suppressed.
