Abstract
The invention relates to a monitoring device 1 for monitoring a man-overboard situation in a ship section 5, wherein the ship section 5 is monitored by video technology using at least one camera 2, and the camera 2 is designed to provide surveillance in the form of video data. The monitoring device comprises an analysis device 9, said analysis device 9 having an interface 10 for transferring the video data, and the analysis device 9 is designed to detect a moving object in the ship section 5 on the basis of the video data and determine a kinematic variable of the moving object. The analysis device 9 is also designed to determine a scale on the basis of the video data and the kinematic variable in order to determine the extent 8 of the moving object and evaluate the moving object as a man-overboard event on the basis of the extent 8 thereof.
