The image analysis module 23 is connected to the second data module 22 to analyze the image of the ship target to generate a rotation signal. Here, the image analysis module 23 can be a processor with computing capability, preferably an image processor. In some implementation aspects, the warning ship target B occupies more than a certain proportion of the entire image (for example, more than 60% of the entire image area), so that the warning ship target B can be clearly displayed. In addition, the image analysis module 23 can analyze the position of the warning ship target B on the image of the ship target to generate a rotation signal.

In addition, the image analysis module 23 generates a stop signal to drive the second camera module 21 to stop capturing the image of the ship when the image analysis module 23 analyzes the image of the ship target to warn the ship target B to stop at the edge of the land. That is to say, when the image analysis module 23 determines according to the image of the ship target that the warning ship target B has docked at the shore (dock) of the port, the second camera device 2 can no longer record the warning ship target B, and thus generates a stop signal to drive the first The two camera modules 21 stop capturing images.

The rotation module 24 connects the image analysis module 23 and the second camera module 21, and drives the second camera module 21 to rotate according to the rotation signal generated by the image analysis module 23, so that the second camera module 21 is continuously aligned with the warning The ship target B captures the image of the ship target. Therefore, the second camera module 21 can rotate with the sailing movement of the warning ship target B, and thus can continuously capture the image of the ship target when the warning ship target B is sailing. Here, the rotating module 24 may include, for example, a motor, a link mechanism, a gear mechanism, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The servo device 3 can be composed of various memories to store various data, and can be connected with other electronic devices through a network to perform bidirectional transmission of data.

In other words, the image processing module 31 can combine and process the images captured by the first camera device 1 and the second camera device 2 into a monitoring image, and when there is a need to review the video in the future, it can directly access the combined processing. The surveillance video is quite convenient.

In some implementations, the first data module 13 may store an image monitoring rule, and when the image monitoring module 14 identifies the warning ship target B in the warning area A and complies with the image monitoring rule, a tracking message is generated.

Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram (2) of the real-time environment image captured by the second camera module of the creation, and FIG. 5 is the real-time environment captured by the second camera module of the creation. Schematic diagram of the image (3). In some implementations, the image monitoring rule is that when the warning area A identifies a plurality of warning ship targets B, determine the vessel size of the warning ship target B, generate a tracking message for the warning ship target B with a larger vessel size, and monitor the size of the ship. The smaller alert ship target B does not generate a tracking message. In other words, when two vessels meet, a tracking message will be generated for the warning vessel B with the larger vessel size, and the vessel with the smaller vessel size will be abandoned.

In some implementations, the image monitoring module 14 recognizes the land edge image in the real-time environmental image to generate the setting rule, and the setting rule is stored in the first data module 13, therefore, the alert setting module 12 is based on the first data The warning area A is set according to the setting rules stored in the module 13 . Furthermore, the first camera device 1 is connected to an electronic device (not shown, such as a work computer, computer equipment in a control center, a tablet computer, etc.) to receive the setting rules sent by the electronic device, and the setting rules are stored in the first data model. Group 13, therefore, the warning setting module 12 sets the warning area A according to the setting rules stored in the first data module 13. In other words, the image monitoring module 14 can automatically identify the land edge image to generate the setting rule, or can receive the preset setting rule from an external or remote electronic device, so that the warning setting module 12 can set the warning area according to the setting rule A.

In some implementations, the image monitoring module 14 generates a warning message when the warning area A identifies the warning vessel target B that does not conform to the warning vessel data. As mentioned above, the warning ship data may include, for example, the type of ships, such as cargo ships, cruise ships, warships, etc. When the image monitoring module 14 identifies that the ship is a speedboat, a small fishing boat, etc. that does not conform to the warning ship data, a warning message will be generated.
