The Design And Implementation Of A Prison-Oriented Intelligent Video Monitor System

The prison, where the prisoners are imprisoned and reformed, is one of the important state machinery. The work of prison security relates to social stability and national peace. The video monitor ensuring that all the activities of inmates are in the police’s sight is the basis of the prison security system. At present, the digital video monitor systems are used widely in China. However the people themselves are acted as monitors in this system, so there are some limitations in the aspect of monitoring capability, and it can’t play a role in prevention and early warning and is used only to produce evidence later in the most time. The intelligent video system could recognize the different matters and find the abnormalities, give the alarm by the quickest and best way and provide the useful information, then it assist security personnel to deal with the crisis effectively and reduce the false alarm and omission.However, actually there is no prison using intelligent video monitor system in China. The reasons are:on the one hand, the requirements of intelligent video monitor system for prison are not clear; on the other hand, because most of the equipment suppliers do not know the actual situation of prisons and could not describe clearly which technologies of intelligent video monitor are fit for prisons, then it leads prisons, which want to, not to apply intelligent video monitor system.Based on the method of software engineer, this paper sets forth the current situation and deficiency of applying video monitor system in prison, analyzes the requirements of intelligent video monitor system for prison, and designs a prison-oriented intelligent video monitor system based on the actual situation and requirements. At the same time, the problem how to deploy and apply the intelligent video monitor system in prison is solved. At last, the program used to recognize the inmate from the video, which is acted as important supplement, is developed and implemented. The prototype system based on IBM SSS is deployed and tested on a prison in Beijing.The deployment and application of a prison-oriented intelligent video monitor system free the police from watching monitor video continuously. Then the scope which is monitored by a police could increase the number of times and the monitoring efficiency is improved greatly.
