Abstract: A design scheme of video monitoring system of coal mine based on embedded Web server was proposed. In the system, embedded Web server is established in S3C2410 microprocessor and real-time video data is gotten form USB cameras. By use of JPEG, Video4Linux programming technology and multi-thread communication technology synthetically, the video data is sent to monitoring center, then the video data is recomposed and compounded to create video pictures by the monitoring center, so as to realize the function of remote video monitoring. The testing result showed that the system has clear pictures, low rate of bad frame and good stability and reliability.
