Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1037181A2] The invention relates to a method and a system for monitoring an interior. For detecting an object 3 trespassing into the interior a picture of the interior is compared with a previously taken background image showing the interior from the same angle when it is not disturbed by any trespassing object. A detecting means 30 takes a decision for detecting an object 3 trespassing into said interior in the case that there is a shadow 4', 4'' caused by said trespassed object 3 in the picture covering at least a section of said interior. In order to reduce the effort for detecting the object 3 trespassing into the interior the present invention proposes not to evaluate shadows in any part of the picture but only that shadows which cover at least a part of a predetermined relevant area of the interior through which trespassing of an object is most likely expected. <IMAGE>
