The present invention provides a crowd monitoring system with which it is possible to obtain a crowd density accurately, irrespective of the congestion state. This crowd monitoring systemis provided with: an image acquiring unitwhich acquires a plurality of images; an arithmetic logic unitand a storage unitwhich stores information relating to relationships between image feature quantities and an object density, acquired in advance, and information relating to relationships between motion feature quantities and the object density. The arithmetic logic unitcomprises: an image feature quantity acquiring unitwhich obtains image feature quantities of objects in the acquired images; a motion line acquiring unitwhich obtains motion lines of the objects in the acquired images; a motion feature quantity acquiring unitwhich obtains motion feature quantities of the objects on the basis of the obtained motion lines; and a crowd density acquiring unitThe arithmetic logic unitis characterized in that it obtains a first estimated density of the objects on the basis of the obtained image feature quantities and the stored relationships between the image feature quantities and the object density, and obtains a second estimated density of the objects on the basis of the obtained motion feature quantities and the stored relationships between the motion feature quantities and the object density.

Crowd monitoring system

This crowd monitoring system (MS) is provided with: a storage unit in which a plurality of images of a crowd including moving bodies are stored; a feature-value extraction unit which extracts a feature of each image; a number of persons input image selection unit which takes into account the distribution of the features, and selects, from among the images, a sample image for inputting the number of persons among the moving bodies; the number of persons input reception unit which displays, on a display unit, an input screen for inputting the number of persons among the moving bodies in the sample image, and receives an input of the number of persons among the moving bodies in the sample image; and a feature total number function generation unit which generates a function indicating the relationship between the features and the total number among the moving bodies.

Crowd monitoring system and crowd monitoring method

It is an object of the present invention to provide a monitoring system that captures and inputs video images of a crowd with a surveillance camera for detecting normal and/or various abnormal states. The monitoring system (MS) comprises: a video image input means () that captures and inputs the video images of the crowd; an optical-flow calculating means () that calculates optical flows from the video images captured at different times; a judgment-block setting means () that sets judgment blocks on a surveillance area of each video image, each judgment block serving as a unit to be judged about an abnormality; an optical-flow attribute counting means () that counts an attribute of optical flows generated in each judgment block; a normality-evaluating-index calculating means () that calculates, from the counted attribute of the optical flows, an evaluation value of a normality-evaluating index for evaluating a normality of the judgment block; an abnormal-state judging means () that judges, from the evaluation value of the normality-evaluating index, the abnormal state of the judgment block; and an output means () that outputs a result of the judgment made by the abnormal-state judging means onto the video image.

Monitoring system and monitoring method

A data retrieving apparatus having: an input apparatus for inputting the hierarchical structure data showing the hierarchical structure and operation instruction data; a data storing apparatus for storing the inputted hierarchical structure data; a retrieving apparatus for retrieving data which satisfies conditions from the hierarchical structure data stored in the data storing apparatus on the basis of the operation instruction data which is inputted by the input apparatus; and an output apparatus for outputting the retrieved data. Each data which is stored in the data storing apparatus has items regarding an efficient date and items regarding a data change date. The retrieving apparatus has an apparatus for retrieving the data on the basis of the efficient date and the data change date.

Retrieving apparatus, retrieving method, and retrieving program of hierarchical structure data

An apparatus for assisting decisions for improvement of environmental loads has: environmental load per-process collecting means; proportional distributing condition per-parts storing means for storing conditions to proportionally distribute the environmental loads every parts; parts attribute storing means; manufacturing condition storing means; parts attribute calculating condition storing means for storing environmental load calculating conditions to calculate the environmental load per parts; environmental load per-parts calculating means; environmental load per-parts/process storing means for storing the environmental loads every parts/process; bill of materials (BOM) storing means; product manufacturing amount storing means; contribution degree per-product/process evaluating means for collecting the environmental loads per parts/process and calculating a contribution degree of each product to the environmental load amount of each process by multiplying the collected environmental load amount by the number of products; and environmental load distribution table per-product/process storing means.

Apparatus for assisting decisions for improvement of environmental load

An evaluation implementation of an environmental load includes a design plan information comparing part for extracting a difference in parts structure, material, or process between a plurality of product design plans stored in a design plan information storing part, an environmental load evaluation value comparing part for calculating a difference in environmental load evaluation value between a plurality of product design plans, from which differences in parts structure, material, or process have been extracted by the design plan information comparing means part, using the environmental load evaluation value comparing part, and a display part for displaying the difference in parts structure, material, or process between the plurality of product design plans calculated by the design plan information comparing part, and the differences in the environmental load evaluation values calculated by the design plan comparing part using the environmental load evaluation value comparing part.

Evaluation implement of environmental load and evaluation program of environmental load

The design/manufacture support system has a self company/correspondent parts number correspondence storing unit for storing the correspondence between parts numbers of self company and correspondent parts, a self company parts bill storage unit for storing a structure of parts of a self company product, a correspondent parts bill storage unit for storing a structure of parts purchased from a correspondent, a representative part creation unit for creating a representative part from the correspondence between self company and correspondent parts numbers stored in the self company/correspondent parts number correspondence storing unit, and a parts bill creation unit for creating a parts bill from the representative part created by the representative part creation unit, the self company parts bill stored in the self company parts bill storage unit and the correspondent parts bill stored in the correspondent parts bill storage unit.

Design and manufacture aiding apparatus and method

An apparatus or system is used for planning the rotation of part usage between shafts or plants based at least on schedule information relating to operation and inspection-purpose shutdown, attribute information relating to part life, part maintenance periods, and other part attributes, and part information relating to the parts to be used in the rotation.
