Description

影像監控裝置與方法Image monitoring device and method

本發明是有關於一種監控裝置與方法,且特別是有關於一種影像監控裝置與方法。The present invention relates to a monitoring device and method, and more particularly, to an image monitoring device and method.

隨著醫療技術的進步,人類的平均壽命被延長,因此出現了銀髮健康照護的需求。此外,在銀髮居家的現象中,獨居銀髮族的數量佔有一定的比例,而機構及社區照護人力有限,因此全球均借助科技協助,往居家照顧服務發展。With the advancement of medical technology, the average life expectancy of human beings has been extended, so there is a need for silver hair health care. In addition, in the phenomenon of silver-haired people living at home, the number of silver-haired people living alone accounts for a certain proportion, and institutional and community care manpower is limited. Therefore, the world is developing home care services with the help of technology.

銀髮族的主要意外動作傷害如臥室離床行為、不良異常動作、地面濕滑等。因此預防發生與即時處理是居家安護的重要需求。舉例而言,銀髮族夜間起床跌倒,到隔天上午才被發現。又例如銀髮族在床上身體不適無法向外求助。因此,動作異常的即時通報是急迫需求。The main accidental movement injuries of silver-haired people are the behavior of getting out of bed in the bedroom, abnormal abnormal movements, and the ground is slippery. Therefore, prevention and immediate treatment are important needs of home security. For example, silver-haired people get up at night and fall, only to be found the next morning. Another example is a silver-haired person who is unwell in bed and cannot seek help. Therefore, real-time notification of abnormal movements is an urgent need.

現有照護系統多以穿戴式感測裝置或是壓力墊為主,然而,感測器需要長時間配戴,長者配戴意願低或是會自行拔除。此外,壓力墊鋪設範圍有限,無法隨時感測異常跌倒事件。另一方面,目前人工智慧(artificial intelligence, AI)辨識技術在動作辨識上已有很高準確率,但卻是採用一般影像來辨識。一般影像是指會看到使用者的臉部特徵、穿著或身體表面等隱私內容,因此被照護者會因為感到隱私被侵犯而使得裝設意願低落。Most of the existing care systems are based on wearable sensing devices or pressure pads. However, the sensors need to be worn for a long time, and the elderly are not willing to wear them or they will be removed by themselves. In addition, the limited range of pressure pads makes it impossible to sense abnormal fall events at any time. On the other hand, the current artificial intelligence (AI) recognition technology has a high accuracy rate in motion recognition, but it uses general images for recognition. General images refer to the user's facial features, clothing, or body surface and other privacy content. Therefore, the care recipients will feel that their privacy has been violated and will reduce their willingness to install.

本發明提供一種影像監控裝置與方法,其能夠利用被照護者的低敏感度影像的情況下提供良好、有效的安全監控。The present invention provides an image monitoring device and method, which can provide good and effective safety monitoring under the condition of using the low-sensitivity image of the care recipient.

圖1為本發明的一實施例的影像監控裝置的示意圖,而圖2示出圖1之影像監控裝置所取得的非可見光動態影像。請參照圖1與圖2,本實施例的影像監控裝置100包括一影像感測模組110及一處理器120。影像感測模組110經配置以取得一目標場景的一非可見光動態影像,且此非可見光動態影像包括數個圖像幀(圖2示出其中之一圖像幀),也就是所述非可見光動態影像是由分別在不同時間點感測成像的所述數個圖像幀組成。在本實施例中,此非可見光動態影像為熱影像,並且影像感測模組110可為偵測熱影像的熱影像攝影機。然而,在其他實施例中,此非可見光動態影像亦可以是射頻回波影像或超音波影像,並且影像感測模組110可以為超音波收發器或射頻電磁波收發器。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an image monitoring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a non-visible light dynamic image obtained by the image monitoring apparatus of FIG. 1 . Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the image monitoring device 100 of this embodiment includes an image sensing module 110 and a processor 120 . The image sensing module 110 is configured to obtain a non-visible light dynamic image of a target scene, and the non-visible light dynamic image includes several image frames (one of which is shown in FIG. 2 ), that is, the non-visible light dynamic image. The visible light dynamic image is composed of the several image frames that are imaged at different time points respectively. In this embodiment, the non-visible light dynamic image is a thermal image, and the image sensing module 110 can be a thermal image camera for detecting the thermal image. However, in other embodiments, the non-visible light dynamic image can also be a radio frequency echo image or an ultrasonic image, and the image sensing module 110 can be an ultrasonic transceiver or a radio frequency electromagnetic wave transceiver.

處理器120經配置以執行下列步驟。首先,處理器120根據非可見光動態影像的至少一圖像幀(例如圖2示出之圖像幀)執行運算,決定對應於目標場景中至少一活體60的狀態為數個狀態類別之一及非可見光動態影像的至少一狀態有效區塊A1。接著,依據此至少一活體60的狀態類別設定此至少一狀態有效區塊A1的每一像素的一場景為數個場景類別之一。舉例而言,活體60為人體,而狀態類別包括站、坐、躺、爬及未定義中至少一者,而圖2所示的活體60的狀態類別例如為躺。此外,舉例而言,這些場景類別包括地板52、床舖54、座椅56及未定義類別其中至少一者。The processor 120 is configured to perform the following steps. First, the processor 120 performs an operation according to at least one image frame of the non-visible light dynamic image (eg, the image frame shown in FIG. 2 ), and determines that the state corresponding to at least one living body 60 in the target scene is one of several state categories and non- At least one active block A1 of the visible light dynamic image. Next, according to the state class of the at least one living body 60 , a scene of each pixel of the at least one state valid block A1 is set as one of several scene classes. For example, the living body 60 is a human body, and the state class includes at least one of standing, sitting, lying down, crawling, and undefined, and the state class of the living body 60 shown in FIG. 2 is, for example, lying. Furthermore, these scene categories include, for example, at least one of floor 52, bed 54, seat 56, and undefined categories.

在圖1、2所示之實施例中,在處理器120決定此至少一活體60的狀態類別是站時,處理器120設定此至少一狀態有效區塊A1的每一像素的場景為地板。在處理器120決定此至少一活體60的狀態類別是坐時,處理器120設定此至少一狀態有效區塊A1的每一像素的場景為座椅。在處理器120決定此至少一活體60的狀態類別是躺時,處理器120設定此至少一狀態有效區塊A1的每一像素的場景為床舖。以圖2所示的活體60為例,處理器120判斷其狀態類別為躺,並且對應的場景類別為床舖,因此處理器120進一步將狀態有效區塊A1中的每一像素的場景設定為床舖。In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , when the processor 120 determines that the state type of the at least one living body 60 is station, the processor 120 sets the scene of each pixel of the at least one state valid block A1 as the floor. When the processor 120 determines that the state type of the at least one living body 60 is sitting, the processor 120 sets the scene of each pixel of the at least one state valid block A1 as a seat. When the processor 120 determines that the state type of the at least one living body 60 is lying down, the processor 120 sets the scene of each pixel of the at least one state valid block A1 as a bed. Taking the living body 60 shown in FIG. 2 as an example, the processor 120 determines that its state type is lying down and the corresponding scene type is a bed, so the processor 120 further sets the scene of each pixel in the state valid block A1 as a bed .

圖3A、圖3B及圖3C為在依序的三個不同時間中對應於目標場景的像素之監控場景的分佈圖,而圖4A、圖4B及圖4C為圖3A、圖3B及圖3C的區域P1中的像素所具有的場景類別的機率分布。請先參照圖3A與圖4A,在本實施例中,非可見光動態影像中的每一像素具有上述這些場景類別的機率分布(如圖4A所示),而處理器120經配置以將每一像素的場景類別的機率分布中機率最高的場景類別設定為此像素的一監控場景。在本實施例中,每一像素所具有的這些場景類別的機率分布所包括的場景類別包括地板(例如4A中的場景類別A)、床舖(如場景類別B)、座椅(如場景類別C)及未定義類別(如場景類別D)。此外,在本實施例中,處理器120經配置以根據上述至少一圖像幀的至少一狀態有效區塊A1及此至少一狀態有效區塊A1的每一像素的場景來更新狀態有效區塊A1中的每一像素的場景類別的機率分布。3A, 3B, and 3C are distribution diagrams of the monitoring scenes of pixels corresponding to the target scene at three different times in sequence, and FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C are the images of FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C The probability distribution of the scene class that the pixels in the region P1 have. Referring first to FIGS. 3A and 4A , in this embodiment, each pixel in the non-visible light dynamic image has the above-mentioned probability distributions of these scene categories (as shown in FIG. 4A ), and the processor 120 is configured to The scene category with the highest probability in the probability distribution of scene categories of the pixel is set as a monitoring scene of the pixel. In this embodiment, the scene categories included in the probability distribution of these scene categories of each pixel include floor (eg scene category A in 4A), bed (eg scene category B), seat (eg scene category C) ) and undefined categories (such as scene category D). In addition, in the present embodiment, the processor 120 is configured to update the state effective block according to the scene of the at least one state effective block A1 of the above at least one image frame and each pixel of the at least one state effective block A1 The probability distribution of the scene class for each pixel in A1.

舉例而言,當影像監控裝置100安裝完畢後,一開始整個場景的非可見光動態影像的所有像素的監控場景預設為場景類別D(即未定義類別),而場景類別D也是像素的預設類別。此時,安裝人員可在地板52上走動,而處理器120則對多個圖像幀進行運算與判斷,而判斷各圖像幀中活體60(即安裝人員)的狀態類別為站並決定其對應的狀態有效區塊,再依據各圖像幀中活體60的狀態類別,更新各圖像幀中活體60對應的狀態有效區塊(如圖3A中的左右兩側)的像素的場景類別的機率分布。在本實施例中,狀態類別為站是對應場景類別A(即地板52),因此狀態有效區塊(如圖3A中的左右兩側)的像素的場景類別的機率分布中,場景類別A(即地板52)之機率提升,而超過了場景類別B、場景類別C及場景類別D。因此,處理器120將此狀態有效區塊(如圖3A中的左右兩側)中的像素的監控場景設為場景類別A(如圖3A所示)。此外,安裝人員沒有行走與站立的區域,例如目標場景的中央,因此圖3A安裝人員沒有行走與站立的區域(鄰近中央的區域)未新增與累積場景類別的資訊,使其場景類別的機率分布沒有更新與變動,因此監控場景維持為預設類別,即場景類別D。For example, after the installation of the image monitoring device 100 is completed, the monitoring scene of all pixels of the non-visible light dynamic image of the entire scene is preset as scene category D (ie, the category is undefined), and scene category D is also the default of the pixel. category. At this time, the installer can walk on the floor 52 , while the processor 120 performs operations and judgments on a plurality of image frames, and determines that the status category of the living body 60 (ie, the installer) in each image frame is a station, and determines its status. The corresponding state valid block, and then according to the state type of the living body 60 in each image frame, update the scene type of the pixel of the state valid block (the left and right sides in FIG. 3A ) corresponding to the living body 60 in each image frame. probability distribution. In this embodiment, the state class of the station corresponds to the scene class A (that is, the floor 52 ). Therefore, in the probability distribution of the scene class of the pixels of the valid state block (the left and right sides in FIG. 3A ), the scene class A ( That is, the probability of the floor 52) increases, and exceeds the scene category B, scene category C and scene category D. Therefore, the processor 120 sets the monitoring scene of the pixels in the valid state block (the left and right sides in FIG. 3A ) as scene category A (as shown in FIG. 3A ). In addition, the installer does not have a walking and standing area, such as the center of the target scene, so the area where the installer does not walk and stand (the area adjacent to the center) in Figure 3A does not add and accumulate scene category information, making the probability of the scene category The distribution has not been updated or changed, so the monitoring scene remains the default category, namely scene category D.

接著,安裝人員在目標場景的中央區域躺下,並維持躺的狀態一段時間,處理器120則對此段時間的數個圖像幀進行運算與判斷,並判斷各圖像幀中活體60(即安裝人員)的狀態類別為躺並決定其對應的狀態有效區塊,再依據各圖像幀中活體60的狀態類別,更新各圖像幀中活體60對應的狀態有效區塊(也就是在目標場景中鄰近中央的區域)的像素的場景類別的機率分布。在本實施例中,狀態類別為躺是對應場景類別B(即對應於床舖的類別),因此狀態有效區塊(也就是在目標場景中鄰近中央的區域)的像素的場景類別的機率分布中,場景類別B(即對應於床舖的類別)的機率提升。當場景類別B的機率成為場景類別的機率分布中機率最高者時,處理器120設定狀態有效區塊(也就是在目標場景中鄰近中央的區域)的像素的監控場景為場景類別B。Next, the installer lies down in the central area of the target scene, and maintains the lying state for a period of time, and the processor 120 performs operations and judgments on several image frames during this period, and judges the living body 60 ( That is, the state class of the installer) is lying down and its corresponding state valid block is determined, and then according to the state class of the living body 60 in each image frame, the state valid block corresponding to the living body 60 in each image frame is updated (that is, the state valid block corresponding to the living body 60 in each image frame is updated. The probability distribution of the scene class of the pixels in the target scene near the center). In this embodiment, the state category of lying is corresponding to scene category B (that is, the category corresponding to the bed), so the probability distribution of the scene category of the pixels in the valid state block (that is, the area near the center in the target scene) is in the scene category , the probability of scene category B (that is, the category corresponding to the bed) increases. When the probability of scene category B becomes the highest probability in the probability distribution of scene categories, the processor 120 sets the monitoring scene of the pixels of the valid state block (ie, the area near the center in the target scene) as scene category B.

然而,在狀態有效區塊(也就是在目標場景中鄰近中央的區域)與左右兩側區域的邊界處(例如區域P1處),其場景類別的機率分布尚未有明確較高者,即區域P1處內的像素的場景類別的機率分布中,場景類別A機率與場景類別B機率相近的情況下,處理器120未能對區域P1進行場景類別的判斷。此時,安裝人員可以繼續躺著,且也可以移動一下身體,以改變或擴張躺的位置,繼續累積圖像幀供處理器120執行運算及判斷,在經過一定的時間之後,如圖3C與圖4C所示,區域P1內的像素的場景類別的機率分布中場景類別B的機率成為所有場景類別中最大者,此時處理器120決定區域P1內的所有像素的監控場景為場景類別B(即對應於床舖54的類別)。至此,雖然非可見光動態影像(例如熱影像)並未包含人臉、服裝、身體表面及室內擺設物品等較為敏感的細節資訊,但處理器120仍可判斷床舖54的所在範圍即為圖3C中場景類別B所在的範圍,以據此判斷異常。However, at the boundary between the valid state block (that is, the area near the center in the target scene) and the left and right areas (for example, the area P1), the probability distribution of the scene category has not yet been clearly defined, that is, the area P1. In the probability distribution of the scene categories of the pixels within the region, when the probability of scene category A is similar to the probability of scene category B, the processor 120 fails to judge the scene category for the region P1. At this time, the installer can continue to lie down, and can also move his body to change or expand the lying position, and continue to accumulate image frames for the processor 120 to perform operations and judgments. After a certain period of time, as shown in FIG. 3C and FIG. As shown in FIG. 4C , in the probability distribution of the scene categories of the pixels in the area P1, the probability of the scene category B becomes the largest among all the scene categories. At this time, the processor 120 determines that the monitoring scene of all the pixels in the area P1 is the scene category B ( i.e. the category corresponding to bed 54). So far, although the non-visible light dynamic image (such as thermal image) does not include more sensitive details such as human face, clothing, body surface and indoor furnishings, the processor 120 can still determine that the range of the bed 54 is the one shown in FIG. 3C . The range in which the scene category B is located, so as to judge the abnormality accordingly.

在本實施例中,影像監控裝置100更包括一儲存器130,電性連接至處理器120,其中處理器120經配置以將非可見光動態影像及各像素對應的場景類別儲存於儲存器130中。舉例而言,處理器120可將如圖3C的場景類別的機率分布的資料儲存於儲存器130中,亦可將非可見光動態影像的各像素的監控場景儲存於儲存器130中,以便作為異常活動判斷的基礎。儲存器130例如為硬式磁碟、快閃記憶體、隨機存取記憶體或其他適當的儲存器。上述實施例是以安裝人員的活動來建構目標場景的非可見光動態影像的各像素的監控場景,然而,在其他實施例中,亦可以是由被照顧者的活動來建構,或者由其他人來建構。In this embodiment, the image monitoring device 100 further includes a storage 130 electrically connected to the processor 120 , wherein the processor 120 is configured to store the non-visible light dynamic image and the scene category corresponding to each pixel in the storage 130 . For example, the processor 120 may store the data of the probability distribution of the scene types as shown in FIG. 3C in the storage 130, and may also store the monitoring scene of each pixel of the non-visible light dynamic image in the storage 130, so as to be regarded as abnormal Basis for Activity Judgment. The storage 130 is, for example, a hard disk, flash memory, random access memory, or other suitable storage. In the above-mentioned embodiment, the monitoring scene of each pixel of the non-visible light dynamic image of the target scene is constructed by the activities of the installers. However, in other embodiments, the activities of the care recipients can also be constructed, or by other people. construct.

此外,在本實施例中,處理器120經配置以根據非可見光動態影像的另一圖像幀執行運算,決定對應於目標場景中的一監控活體(例如被照顧者)的狀態為上述這些狀態類別之一及對應於此監控活體的至少一偵測有效區塊,依據此監控活體的此至少一偵測有效區塊、此監控活體的狀態及此監控活體的此至少一偵測有效區塊的像素對應的監控場景或場景,判斷監控活體之狀態是否異常,且在判斷此監控活體之狀態異常時輸出警告訊號,例如是透過區域網路將警告訊號傳給區域內(如社區內)的辦公室的電腦或監控系統,或者透過網際網路將警告訊號傳給遠方的監控中心的監控主機或電腦。In addition, in this embodiment, the processor 120 is configured to perform an operation according to another image frame of the non-visible light dynamic image, and determine the state corresponding to a monitored living body (eg, a person in care) in the target scene to be the above-mentioned states One of the categories and at least one detection valid block corresponding to the monitored living body, according to the at least one detection valid block of the monitored living body, the state of the monitored living body, and the at least one detection valid block of the monitored living body The monitoring scene or scene corresponding to the pixels of the monitored living body is judged whether the state of the monitored living body is abnormal, and a warning signal is output when the state of the monitored living body is judged to be abnormal. The computer or monitoring system in the office, or sending the warning signal to the monitoring host or computer of the remote monitoring center through the Internet.

舉例而言,當處理器120判斷監控活體的狀態類別為躺,且監控活體的偵測有效區塊之像素為場景類別A(即地板52),且監控活體之狀態維持一預設時間(例如30分鐘)後,該處理器120判斷監控活體(例如被照顧者)躺在地板52時間過長,而有異常狀況,因此處理器120輸出警告訊號,以通知照護或醫療單位人員前來查看,或通知遠方的監控中心的人員通知他人前來查看。或者,當處理器120判斷監控活體(例如被照顧者)的狀態類別為躺,且監控活體的偵測有效區塊之像素為場景類別B(即床舖54),並且監控活體之狀態超過另一預設時間(例如超過12小時)時,處理器120則判斷監控活體狀態異常,例如身體發生狀況而無法起床,並輸出警告訊號。For example, when the processor 120 determines that the state type of the monitored living body is lying down, and the pixels of the detection effective block of the monitored living body are scene type A (ie, the floor 52 ), and the state of the monitored living body is maintained for a predetermined time (eg, After 30 minutes), the processor 120 determines that the monitored living body (such as the care recipient) has been lying on the floor 52 for too long and has an abnormal condition, so the processor 120 outputs a warning signal to notify the nursing or medical unit personnel to come and check, Or notify the personnel of the remote monitoring center to notify others to come and check.

請參照圖7,其顯示步驟S220及S230的細節步驟,說明如下。在本實施例中非可見光動態影像是熱影像資料,而在取得非可見光動態影像後,處理器120執行步驟S104,對非可見光動態影像的至少一圖像幀執行色域轉換圖像幀(熱影像資料)由單通道轉換成三通道色彩資訊。處理器120執行步驟S106,對步驟S104中經色域轉換後之輸出執行正規化運算強化影像中不同溫度之對比,舉例而言,可以是依據一溫度範圍內的最高溫來進行正規化,以凸顯影像中在此溫度範圍內的不同溫度的對比。接著,處理器120執行步驟S108,依據步驟S106運算處理後的結果執行機器學習,運算出非可見光動態影像中熱源,也就是活體之狀態類別及區域,也就是藉此判別出非可見光動態影像中的活體。Please refer to FIG. 7 , which shows the detailed steps of steps S220 and S230 , which are described as follows. In this embodiment, the non-visible light dynamic image is thermal image data, and after obtaining the non-visible light dynamic image, the processor 120 executes step S104 to perform color gamut conversion on at least one image frame of the non-visible light dynamic image (thermal image frame). image data) is converted from single-channel to three-channel color information. The processor 120 executes step S106, and performs a normalization operation on the output after the color gamut conversion in step S104 to enhance the contrast of different temperatures in the image. For example, normalization may be performed according to the highest temperature in a temperature range to Highlights the contrast of different temperatures within this temperature range in the image. Next, the processor 120 executes step S108, and executes machine learning according to the result of the operation processing in step S106, and calculates the heat source in the non-visible light dynamic image, that is, the state type and area of the living body, which is used to determine the non-visible light dynamic image. the living body.

再執行步驟S110,對步驟S108運算所得的非可見光動態影像之圖像幀及資訊執行運算,決定非可見光動態影像之圖像幀中對應於活體之活體框定區塊,例如在圖8A的非可見光動態影像之圖像幀中,決定對應於活體之活體框定區塊A2,並執行運算以將活體框定區塊A2收縮到活體框定區塊A3,也就是判斷對應於活體之活體框定區塊由包含四肢(活體框定區塊A2)收縮到包含軀幹(活體框定區塊A3),而步驟S110的細節進一步包括步驟S112與步驟S114。步驟S112中,處理器在活體框定區塊A2內,沿X軸方向(即橫軸方向)逐一運算活體框定區塊A2內Y軸方向(即縱軸方向)的像素總數,並框定出由累加運算後像素數量最大值所對應X軸座標向左右各擴展至最大值之30%處為區塊邊界。步驟S114中,處理器在活體框定區塊A2內,沿Y軸方向(即縱軸方向)逐一運算活體框定區塊A2內X軸方向(即橫軸方向)的像素總數,並框定出由累加運算後像素數量最大值處所對應Y軸座標向上下各擴展至最大值之30%處為區塊邊界。在執行完步驟S110(內含步驟S112與S114)後,由活體框定區塊A2收斂至活體框定區塊A3,亦即決定出活體本身範圍(以軀幹為主的區塊)。Step S110 is then executed to perform an operation on the image frame and information of the non-visible light dynamic image obtained by the operation in step S108 to determine the in vivo framed area corresponding to the living body in the image frame of the non-visible light dynamic image, such as the non-visible light in FIG. 8A . In the image frame of the moving image, the living body framing block A2 corresponding to the living body is determined, and an operation is performed to shrink the living body framing block A2 to the living body framing block A3, that is, it is determined that the living body framing block corresponding to the living body is composed of The limbs (living frame area A2 ) are contracted to include the trunk (living frame area A3 ), and the details of step S110 further include steps S112 and S114 . In step S112, the processor calculates the total number of pixels in the Y-axis direction (ie, the vertical axis direction) in the living body framed block A2 one by one along the X-axis direction (ie, the horizontal axis direction) in the living body framed block A2, and the frame is determined by the accumulation of the total number of pixels. After the calculation, the X-axis coordinate corresponding to the maximum number of pixels is extended to the left and right to 30% of the maximum value, which is the block boundary. In step S114, the processor calculates the total number of pixels in the X-axis direction (ie, the horizontal axis direction) in the living body framed block A2 one by one along the Y-axis direction (ie, the vertical axis direction) in the living body framed block A2, and the frame is determined by the cumulative After the operation, the Y-axis coordinate corresponding to the maximum number of pixels is extended up and down to 30% of the maximum value, which is the block boundary. After performing step S110 (including steps S112 and S114 ), the living body framed block A2 converges to the living body framed block A3 , that is, the scope of the living body itself (the body-based block) is determined.

然後,執行步驟S116,處理器120依活體框定區塊A3及狀態類別進行運算以取得狀態有效區塊,而步驟S116的細節進一步包括步驟S118、步驟S120及步骤S122。步驟S118中,處理器120判斷活體的狀態類別為站或躺,或在其他實施例中亦可判斷狀態類別為站、坐或躺。在判斷活體之狀態為站的情況下,執行步驟S120,擷取步驟S112、S114執行後產生之活體框定區塊A3下方高度為50個像素的範圍為狀態有效區塊A4,並設定狀態有效區塊A4之各像素之場景類別為地板52,如圖8A所示。然而,本發明不限定為50個像素的高度範圍,在其他實施例中,亦可以是其他數目的像素的高度。在判斷活體之狀態為躺的情況下,則執行步驟S122,設定步驟S112、S114執行後產生之活體框定區塊為狀態有效區塊A1,並設定其場景類別為床舖54,如圖2所示。Then, step S116 is executed, the processor 120 performs operations according to the living body framed block A3 and the state type to obtain a state valid block, and the details of step S116 further include steps S118 , steps S120 and steps S122 . In step S118, the processor 120 determines that the state type of the living body is standing or lying down, or in other embodiments, it can also determine that the state type is standing, sitting or lying down. In the case of judging that the state of the living body is standing, step S120 is executed, and the area with a height of 50 pixels below the living body framed block A3 generated after the execution of steps S112 and S114 is extracted as the state effective block A4, and the state effective area is set The scene class of each pixel of block A4 is floor 52, as shown in FIG. 8A. However, the present invention is not limited to a height range of 50 pixels, and in other embodiments, the height of other numbers of pixels may also be used. When it is judged that the state of the living body is lying down, step S122 is executed, and the living body framed block generated after the execution of steps S112 and S114 is set as the state valid block A1, and the scene type is set as bed 54, as shown in FIG. 2 .

執行了步驟S120或步驟S122後,執行步驟S124,更新狀態有效區塊內像素之場景類別的機率分布,而步驟S124的細節進一步包括步驟S126、步驟S128、步骤S130及步驟S132。步驟S126中,處理器120判斷狀態有效區塊內像素是否已存在場景類別之資訊,即判斷是否存在場景類別D(即未定義類別)以外的類別。若已存在場景類別之資訊,則執行步驟S128,處理器120依狀態有效區塊內像素之場景類別,增減場景類別機率分布。然後,執行步驟S130,判斷各像素之場景類別的機率分布中機率最大的場景類別是否發生改變。若機率最大的場景類別發生改變,則執行步驟S132,更新監控場景,例如區域P1中的監控場景從圖3B的區域P1中像素的場景類別更新為圖3C的區域P1中像素的場景類別。若機率最大的場景類別未發生改變,則重新執行步驟S126。在步驟S126中,若判斷不存在類別定義,則執行步驟S132,更新監控場景。After step S120 or step S122 is performed, step S124 is performed to update the probability distribution of the scene type of the pixels in the state valid block, and the details of step S124 further include step S126, step S128, step S130 and step S132. In step S126 , the processor 120 determines whether the pixels in the state-valid block already have scene category information, that is, whether there is a category other than scene category D (ie, undefined category). If the information of the scene type already exists, step S128 is executed, and the processor 120 increases or decreases the probability distribution of the scene type according to the scene type of the pixels in the state valid block. Then, step S130 is executed to determine whether the scene category with the highest probability in the probability distribution of scene categories of each pixel has changed. If the scene category with the highest probability changes, step S132 is executed to update the monitoring scene, for example, the monitoring scene in the area P1 is updated from the scene category of the pixels in the area P1 in FIG. 3B to the scene category of the pixels in the area P1 in FIG. 3C . If the scene category with the highest probability has not changed, step S126 is executed again. In step S126, if it is determined that there is no category definition, step S132 is executed to update the monitoring scene.
