Conversion of Video Surveillance System into Measurement System based on Video Camera
This work reviews measurement systems applied for static and dynamic detection of object coordinates as well as acquiring information of their position at various distances. The market of measurement systems based on video cameras has been analyzed. Their classification is presented, fields of application are described, advantages and disadvantages are summarized for each type of measurement systems. In addition, it has been revealed that the frequency and extent of measurement errors depend not only on the quality on system components but also on numerous other factors, such as light flare, microvibrations, thermal expansion, etc. The review of measurement systems is necessary for determination of the most efficient method of conversion of video surveillance system into measurement system.
