FIELD: panoramic television surveillance.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to panoramic television surveillance, which is performed by a computer system using a television camera. Television camera of such a system has two sensors: "annular" and "rectangular" (matrix) photodetectors, which are made according to the technology of complementary structures "metal-oxide-semiconductor" (CMOS). Also, the television camera includes four panoramic lenses and a sensor positioning unit (SPU), made on the basis of a stepper motor, shaft of which is directly or through reduction gear is mechanically connected to sensor unit, providing by operator command coming from computer to television camera, spatial rotation of the sensor unit through angle of 90 degrees in step-by-step mode four times per cycle, so that its target is set by default symmetrically to the position opposite each of the four panoramic lenses. Each new digital video signal generated in the television camera after the completion of each of the four turns of the photodetector is successively recorded in the corresponding cell of the random access memory of the server, which provides consistently and parallel circular view in four spherical layers of surrounding spherical area of space.
EFFECT: monitoring panoramic scene in four layers of surrounding space.
