A monitoring device that includes an imaging unit which images an image, a turning unit which turns an angle of the imaging unit between a plurality of predetermined positions, an interference detection unit which detects an interference action based on an image sequence imaged in one of the plurality of predetermined positions. A past image storage unit stores an image imaged before the imaging unit turns, and a turning-period interference detection unit detects an interference action in a period the imaging unit turns, using the image imaged in a predetermined position before the imaging unit turns and the image stored in the past image storage unit, when the imaging unit turns after the past image storage unit stores the image, and turns back to a predetermined position before its turn.

Monitoring device and interference detection method

Network equipment which is connected to other network equipment through a network is disclosed. The equipment includes: a detection unit processing picture data and detecting a moving object and a non-moving object; a metadata generation unit generating metadata including information indicating detection statuses of the detection unit and information concerning the moving object and the non-moving object detected in the detection unit; and a data transmission unit transmitting the picture data and the metadata generated in the metadata generation unit to the other network equipment.

Network equipment, network system and surveillance camera system

The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program capable of searching for and tracking a person desired to be searched for and tracked from images captured by a plurality of cameras with high precision. By inputting decision information used for a user to decide a searching target in a moving-object image PA captured by a monitoring camera imaging an imaging area CamA on a screen Pindicating a searching and tracking result, as indicated by a hand H, and by erasing a plot E from the searching and tracking result because of a distant position to which a person may not travel at an average human movement speed for about 5 seconds despite moving for a time of 5 seconds (1:00:05 to 1:00:00) from a plot A to the plot E by time-space comparison between detection results of the plots A and E, it is possible to improve precision of the searching and tracking result. The present technology can be applied to a security system or a marketing research system.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

There is provided an image processing device including an image input unit configured to input captured image data of a portion of parking stalls that are compartmented at least by a first side line extending in a first direction and a second side line extending in the first direction, an image processing unit configured to generate edge image data by performing an edge extraction process on the captured image data, and a parking determination unit configured to obtain an integrated value of edge pixels of the first direction portion corresponding to the parking stalls in each position of a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction based on the edge image data, and then to determine whether or not vehicles are parked in the parking stalls based on the obtained integrated value of each position of the second direction.

Image processing device, image processing method, and program

Monitoring system is provided which includes an image capturing apparatus including a basic analysis section that performs analysis processing based on image data input from an image capturing section that captures an image of a subject and generates first metadata, and a first metadata output section that outputs the first metadata and second metadata different from the first metadata to a monitoring apparatus connected to a network via the network, and an analysis apparatus including an extended analysis section that performs analysis processing different from that of the basic analysis section based on the image data received from the image capturing apparatus and generates the second metadata, and a second metadata output section that outputs the second metadata to the image capturing apparatus.

Monitoring system, image capturing apparatus, analysis apparatus, and monitoring method

An image processing system includes: an object detecting unit that detects a moving body object from image data of an image of a predetermined area; an object-occurrence-position detecting unit that detects an occurrence position of the object detected by the object detecting unit; and a valid-object determining unit that determines that the object detected by the object detecting unit is a valid object when the object is present in a mask area set as a non-detection target in the image of the predetermined area and the occurrence position of the object in the mask area detected by the object-occurrence-position detecting unit is outside the mask area.

Image processing system, image processing method, and computer program

A target object texture mapping unit makes correspondence of image data of a measured target object to shape data. A reference object texture mapping unit makes correspondence of image data of a measured reference object to shape model of the reference object. A normal correspondence making unit compares normal data of the target object with normal data of the reference object and makes correspondence of the normals having the corresponding directions. A light source influence eliminating unit prepares target object light source influence-eliminated image data on the basis of the correspondence made by the normal correspondence making unit. A correction light source influence adding unit adds an influence of a light source to the target object light source influence-eliminated image data, thus preparing target object corrected image data.

Image processing device and method, and recording medium

A plurality of sets of range data and texture data obtained at different visual points are generated with respect to a measuring object, and relative shift processing of the range data is carried out. At a point to which the range data is shifted, corresponding points of the range data are calculated, and the correlation of the texture data is calculated on the basis of the calculated corresponding points. The minute shift of the range data, the corresponding point calculation processing, and the calculation of the correlation value of the texture data are repeatedly carried out for each minute shift of the range data. The corresponding point for the data exhibiting the highest texture correlation is outputted and the shift quantity of the range data is calculated on the basis of the outputted corresponding point.
