The invention discloses a distributed tracking and monitoring method and
system. The monitoring method includes the step of central control, the step of selecting a specific
video camera and the step of monitoring through the specific
video camera, wherein in the step of central control, a central service
station sends a control instruction to a
video camera group and receives feedback information of the video camera group; in the step of selecting the specific video camera, the central service
station selects at least one video camera from the video camera group to serve as the specific video camera according to the feedback information and performs linkage monitoring; in the step of monitoring through the specific video camera, the specific video camera takes the initiative to recognize, track, report and monitor a target to complete continuous tracking and monitoring of the monitored target according to the control instruction of the central service
station. To overcome the defects in the prior art, the distributed tracking and monitoring method and
system can solve the problems that in an ultra-
high definition image, a mobile target is large in recognition and calculation amount and difficult to track, the monitoring efficiency can be greatly improved particularly for the situation that the mobile target is tracked all over the city, and the distributed tracking and monitoring method and
system has important significance for
fast tracking and monitoring the target in real time.
