Abstract:
A situation recognition apparatus and method analyzes an image to convert a position and motion change rate of an object in a space and an object number change rate into energy information, and then changes the energy information into entropy in connection with an entropy theory of a measurement theory of a disorder within a space. Accordingly, the situation recognition apparatus and method recognizes an abnormal situation in the space and issues a warning for the recognized abnormal situation. Therefore, the situation recognition apparatus and method recognizes an abnormal situation within a space, thereby effectively preventing or perceiving a real-time incident at an early stage.
