BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a surveillance camera apparatus having a function of automatically switching a photographing mode by a camera to color or black and white (automatic color / monochrome switching function) and a function of panning / tilting the camera (pan / tilt function). The present invention relates to a monitoring camera device that controls switching of shooting modes during operation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The color / monochrome automatic switching function of conventional surveillance camera devices includes a color shooting mode in which a near-infrared cut filter is placed in front of the image sensor, and black-and-white shooting that increases sensitivity by removing the near-infrared cut filter from the front of the image sensor. A color / monochrome switching method for automatically switching between modes is mainly used, and the selection of switching between shooting modes is based on, for example, the illuminance level of a subject detected by an illuminance sensor or the like. When the illuminance level falls below a certain level, it switches from the color shooting mode to the monochrome shooting mode, and when the illuminance level exceeds a certain level, the monochrome shooting mode changes to the color shooting mode. It is controlled to switch.
[0003]
In addition, the surveillance camera device has a pan / tilt function in which a panning / tilting unit, a tilting rotation unit, and a camera are integrated into a pan / tilt, for example, a photographer pans / tilts the camera to an arbitrary subject using a remote controller (remote controller) or the like.

The pan / tilt in a low speed region that is lower than a predetermined pan / tilt speed is used mainly for shooting a subject during the pan / tilt operation.
[0018]
Reference numeral 8 denotes a pan / tilt control unit of the pan / tilt control system of the surveillance camera apparatus 1, which will be described later based on a control signal from a camera control unit described later and setting information from the operation unit 7 sent via the camera control unit. A pan / tilt operation signal is output to the pan / tilt operation driving unit. Reference numeral 9 denotes a pan / tilt operation drive unit of a pan / tilt control system for driving the pan / rotation unit 5 and the tilt rotation unit 6 based on a pan / tilt operation signal from the pan / tilt control unit 8 and setting information from the operation unit 7. Aim in the set shooting direction. Reference numeral 10 denotes a pan / tilt memory of the pan / tilt control system, in which high-speed area information and low-speed area information of preset panning speed and tilting speed are stored.
[0019]
A camera control unit 11 of the camera control system of the monitoring camera device 1 receives setting information from the operation unit 7 and outputs setting information and a control signal to the pan / tilt control unit 8, as well as setting information and monitoring from the operation unit 7. Based on the illuminance information from the subject detected by the illuminance sensor 18 provided in the camera device 1 and various information stored in the camera memory described later, switching of the photographing mode of the camera 2 is controlled. Reference numeral 12 denotes a camera memory of the camera control system, which stores zoom information and focus information for driving the camera 2, illuminance level information serving as a reference for switching to a color photographing mode or a black and white photographing mode.
[0020]
The camera control system also includes a camera 2. The camera 2 is inserted into the optical path of the imaging light from the subject in the color photographing mode and the lens 2a, and the imaging light from the subject in the monochrome photographing mode. Near-infrared cut filter 13 that is removed from the optical path, motor 14 that inserts or removes near-infrared cut filter 13, and imaging such as a CCD that receives imaging light from the subject through lens 2 a and near-infrared cut filter 13 An element 15 and a camera signal processing unit 16 that converts an optical signal from the image sensor 15 into an electrical signal, further converts the optical signal into a video signal, and outputs the image signal to a display device 17 such as a monitor. The camera control unit 11 switches the photographing mode to the color photographing mode or the black and white photographing mode based on the illuminance information from the illuminance sensor 18 and the reference illuminance level information stored in the camera memory 12, that is, the motor. 14 is controlled, and the camera signal processing unit 16 and the like are controlled to enlarge, reduce, and focus the captured image.
[0021]
Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG. First, in order to point the camera 2 in an arbitrary shooting direction, the photographer sets the panning speed and rotation direction and the tilting speed and rotation direction by using the operation unit 7, and a shooting start switch ( (Not shown) to output a shooting start signal to the camera control unit 11 together with setting information. Next, when receiving a shooting start signal from the operation unit 7, the camera control unit 11 outputs a pan / tilt operation signal which is one of setting information and a control signal to the pan / tilt control unit 8. At this time, the camera control unit 11 outputs a shooting start signal to the camera signal processing unit 16.
[0022]
When the pan / tilt control unit 8 receives various control signals including the pan / tilt operation signal from the camera control unit 11 (step S21 in FIG. 3), the pan / tilt control unit 8 determines whether the control signal is a pan / tilt operation signal (step S22). When the signal is not a pan / tilt operation signal, a shooting operation signal is output to the camera control unit 11, and illuminance information (detected illuminance level) by the illuminance sensor 18 by the camera control unit 11 and a reference illuminance level stored in the camera memory 12. And a selection is made as to whether the photographing mode is the color photographing mode or the black and white photographing mode (step S23). The camera control unit 11 compares the detected illuminance level with the reference illuminance level. When the detected illuminance level exceeds the reference illuminance level, the camera control unit 11 selects the color photographing mode and drives the motor 14 to drive the near-infrared cut filter 13. Is inserted into the optical path of the imaging light. At this time, if the previous shooting mode is the color shooting mode, the near-infrared cut filter 13 is kept inserted in the optical path of the imaging light without driving the motor 14. Next, the imaging light (optical signal) from the subject incident on the imaging element 15 of the camera 2 is converted into a video signal by the camera signal processing unit 16, and a color image is displayed on the display device 17. The pan / tilt control unit 8 waits for the next control signal, and the camera control unit 11 waits for an instruction from the operation unit 7.
[0023]
Further, the camera control unit 11 compares the detected illuminance level with the reference illuminance level. When the detected illuminance level is equal to or lower than the reference illuminance level, the camera control unit 11 selects the monochrome photographing mode and drives the motor 14 to cut the near-infrared cut filter. 13 is removed from the optical path of the imaging light. At this time, if the previous shooting mode is the monochrome shooting mode, the motor 14 is not driven and the near-infrared cut filter 13 remains removed from the optical path of the imaging light. Next, imaging light (optical signal) by infrared rays from the subject incident on the imaging device 15 of the camera 2 is converted into a video signal by the camera signal processing unit 16 and a monochrome image is displayed on the display device 17. The pan / tilt control unit 8 waits for the next control signal, and the camera control unit 11 waits for an instruction from the operation unit 7.
[0024]
On the other hand, when the pan / tilt control unit 8 determines that the control signal from the camera control unit 11 is a pan / tilt operation signal (step S22), the pan / tilt control unit 8 outputs the pan / tilt operation signal together with the setting information of the operation unit 7 to the pan / tilt operation driving unit 9. Then, the pan / tilt operation drive unit 9 causes the pan / tilt operation of the pan rotation unit 5 and the tilt rotation unit 6 of the turntable 3 based on the setting information (step S24). Next, the pan / tilt control unit 8 determines the set panning speed and tilting speed based on the setting information and the high speed area information and low speed area information of the panning speed and tilting speed stored in the pan / tilt memory 10. It is determined whether the area is the high speed area or the low speed area (step S25). If the area is the high speed area, the pan / tilt operation is switching (moving) of the captured image, so a shooting operation signal is output to the camera control unit 11 The unit 11 compares the illuminance information (detected illuminance level) from the illuminance sensor 18 with the reference illuminance level stored in the camera memory 12, and selects whether the photographing mode is performed in the color photographing mode or the black and white photographing mode. . The camera control unit 11 executes the selected shooting mode (step S23), the pan / tilt control unit 8 waits for the next control signal, and the camera control unit 11 waits for an instruction from the operation unit 7.
[0025]
The pan / tilt control unit 8 determines whether the set panning speed and tilting speed are in the high speed region or the low speed region (step S25). Since it is shooting of the subject, a shooting operation continuation signal is output to the camera control unit 11, and the shooting mode currently being executed by the camera control unit 11 is continued as it is (step S26). Next, the pan / tilt control unit 8 determines whether the pan / tilt operation is being performed by the pan / tilt operation driving unit 9 (step S27). If the pan / tilt control unit 8 is operating, the current shooting mode is continuously executed, and the operation is completed. Indicates that the camera 2 has reached the set position, outputs a shooting operation signal to the camera control unit 11, and the camera control unit 11 outputs illuminance information (detected illuminance level) from the illuminance sensor 18 and the reference stored in the camera memory 12. The illuminance level is compared, and the user selects whether the shooting mode is the color shooting mode or the monochrome shooting mode. Then, the camera control unit 11 executes the selected shooting mode (step S28). At this time, even when the pan / tilt operation speed is low, the pan / tilt operation has already been completed, so that the shooting mode can be switched. The pan / tilt control unit 8 waits for the next control signal, and the camera control unit 11 waits for an instruction from the operation unit 7.
[0026]
In this way, when the set pan / tilt speed exceeds the predetermined pan / tilt speed, the shooting mode is switched during the pan / tilt operation, and when the pan / tilt speed is lower than the predetermined pan / tilt speed. Since the shooting mode is switched after the pan / tilt operation is completed, it is possible to prevent unsightly shot images due to the switching of the shooting mode in the low speed region, and to obtain an optimal shot image.
[0027]
In the first embodiment described above, when the set pan / tilt speed is in the low speed region, the shooting mode is selected and switched after the pan / tilt operation is finished. However, before the pan / tilt operation is finished, that is, The shooting mode may be selected during the pan / tilt operation. In this case, since the switching is not performed only by selecting the shooting mode, the same effect as described above can be obtained, and the selected shooting mode can be executed immediately after the pan / tilt operation is completed.
[0028]
Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the second embodiment according to the present invention, in the surveillance camera device 1 according to the first embodiment, the pan / tilt memory 10 stores a plurality of shooting points, that is, pan / tilt position information corresponding to preset positions, and the operation unit 7. The pan / tilt control unit 8 continuously pans / tilts a plurality of preset positions based on the pan / tilt position information corresponding to the preset positions, and images are taken by the camera 2 at each preset position. It is.
[0029]
Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG. First, the photographer presses a continuous shooting switch (not shown) provided on the operation unit 7 to continuously pan and tilt the camera 2 to a plurality of preset positions, and to take an image at the preset positions. The continuous shooting signal is output to the camera control unit 11. Next, when receiving a continuous shooting signal from the operation unit 7, the camera control unit 11 outputs a continuous shooting signal and a pan / tilt operation signal, which are one of the control signals, to the pan / tilt control unit 8. At this time, the camera control unit 11 outputs a shooting start signal to the camera signal processing unit 16.
[0030]
When the pan / tilt control unit 8 receives various control signals including a continuous shooting signal and a pan / tilt operation signal from the camera control unit 11 (step S31 in FIG. 4), the pan / tilt control unit 8 determines whether the control signal is a pan / tilt operation signal (step S31). S 32) When the control signal is not a pan / tilt operation signal, a shooting operation signal is output to the camera control unit 11, and the camera control unit 11 stores the illuminance information (detected illuminance level) by the illuminance sensor 18 and the camera memory 12. The comparison with the reference illuminance level is performed, and the user selects whether the photographing mode is the color photographing mode or the black and white photographing mode (step S33). Then, the camera control unit 11 compares the detected illuminance level with the reference illuminance level, and when the detected illuminance level exceeds the reference illuminance level, selects the color photographing mode, and the detected illuminance level is equal to or lower than the reference illuminance level. Select black and white shooting mode. Then, the shooting mode selected as described above is executed, the pan / tilt control unit 8 waits for the next control signal, and the camera control unit 11 waits for an instruction from the operation unit 7.
[0031]
On the other hand, when the pan / tilt control unit 8 determines that the control signal from the camera control unit 11 is a pan / tilt operation signal (step S32), the pan / tilt control unit 8 determines whether the control signal is a continuous operation signal (step S34). Is not a continuous operation signal, a shooting operation signal is output to the camera control unit 11, the illuminance information (detected illuminance level) by the illuminance sensor 18 by the camera control unit 11, and the reference illuminance level stored in the camera memory 12 Are compared to select whether the shooting mode is the color shooting mode or the monochrome shooting mode (step S33). Then, the camera control unit 11 compares the detected illuminance level with the reference illuminance level, and when the detected illuminance level exceeds the reference illuminance level, selects the color photographing mode, and the detected illuminance level is equal to or lower than the reference illuminance level. Select black and white shooting mode. Then, the shooting mode selected as described above is executed, the pan / tilt control unit 8 waits for the next control signal, and the camera control unit 11 waits for an instruction from the operation unit 7.
[0032]
When it is determined that the control signal is a continuous shooting signal (step S34), a pan / tilt operation signal is output to the pan / tilt operation driving unit 9, and a plurality of presets stored in the pan / tilt memory 10 by the pan / tilt operation driving unit 9 are output. The pan / tilt operation of the pan rotation unit 5 and the tilt rotation unit 6 of the turntable 3 based on the pan / tilt position information corresponding to one of the positions is performed to pan / tilt the camera 2 to the corresponding preset position (step S35). Next, the pan / tilt control unit 8 determines whether the pan / tilt operation is being performed by the pan / tilt operation driving unit 9 (step S36). If the pan / tilt control unit 8 is operating, the pan / tilt control unit 8 waits until the camera 2 pans / tilts to the preset position. In this case, the camera 2 has panned and tilted to the corresponding preset position, and a shooting operation signal is output to the camera control unit 11, and the camera control unit 11 stores the illuminance information (detected illuminance level) by the illuminance sensor 18 and the camera memory 12. The comparison is made with the reference illuminance level, and the user selects whether the photographing mode is the color photographing mode or the black and white photographing mode. Then, the camera control unit 11 executes the selected shooting mode (step S37). At this time, since the shooting mode is not switched during the pan / tilt operation, it is possible to prevent an unsightly shot image from being switched.
[0033]
Next, the pan / tilt control unit 8 receives a control signal from the camera control unit 11 (step S38), and determines whether the control signal is a continuous shooting stop signal (step S39). If the received control signal is not a continuous shooting stop signal, continuous shooting is continued, and the camera 2 is panned and tilted to the next preset position as described above to perform shooting at that position. The camera 2 is continuously pan-tilted to each preset position until a continuous shooting stop signal is received. When the received control signal is a continuous shooting stop signal, the pan / tilt control unit 8 stops the pan / tilt operation of the camera 2 to the next preset position by the pan / tilt operation driving unit 9, waits for the next control signal, and waits for the next control signal. 11 waits for an instruction from the operation unit 7.
[0034]
As described above, when continuous shooting is set, the camera 2 is continuously pan-tilted to a preset position set in advance, and the shooting mode is not switched during the pan-tilt operation, and shooting at each preset position is completed after pan-tilt is completed. Since the mode is switched, it is possible to prevent unsightly captured images at the time of panning and tilting at each preset position, and an optimal captured image can be obtained even if continuous operation is performed.
[0035]
