It is possible to provide a user with progress information of an unattended object after the appearance in a monitoring area. An unattended object monitoring device is configured to include an image acquirer that acquires a captured image of the monitoring area imaged by the imaging device, an object tracker that detects an object appearing in the monitoring area from the captured image and tracks between the captured images for each appearing object, an unattended object detector that detects an appearing object not displaced beyond a predetermined time as an unattended object based on a tracking result for each appearing object, a progress information generator that generates progress information of the unattended object after the appearance in monitoring area based on the tracking result for each appearing object, and a notification image generator that generates notification image by superimposing the progress information on the captured image.

Unattended object monitoring device, unattended object monitoring system equipped with same, and unattended object monitoring method

An alarm issuing time according to the degree of suspiciousness or danger of an unattended object is controlled. Unattended object monitoring apparatus is configured to include image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image of an monitoring area imaged by imaging apparatus, object tracker that detects an object appearing in the monitoring area from the captured image and tracks between the captured images for each detected object, unattended object detector that detects an object not displaced beyond a predetermined time as an unattended object based on a tracking result for each detected object by the object tracker, unattended object type determination unit that determines a type of the detected unattended object, alarm issuing time controller that controls an alarm issuing time from the time when an unattended object is detected to the time when an alarm is issued based on the determined type of the unattended object.

Provided is a captured image recognition device that enables the performance of an image recognition function to be sufficiently evinced. A field-of-view splitting estimation unit () estimates the splitting of the field of view of a camera unit () using a captured image (S). On the basis of the estimated splitting of the field of view, a candidate application selection unit () selects, from among a plurality of image recognition applications, candidates for an image recognition application that is favorable or able to execute processing with respect to a current captured image. An image recognition processing unit () executes the image recognition application selected by a user from among the candidate applications. As a result, the performance of an image recognition function can be sufficiently evinced as a result of it being possible to execute an image recognition application that is suitable to the current captured image.

Captured image recognition device, captured image recognition system, and captured image recognition method

An apparatus for verifying subjects includes: a camera for photographing a plurality of subjects; a subject detector for detecting subject images of each of the subjects from the pieces of image information photographed by the camera; a subject tracking unit for tracking each of the subjects based on the movement of the subject images corresponding to each of the subjects and for forming tracking information of each of the subjects; a tracking information storage for storing the tracking information of each of the subjects; a subject selector for selecting a subject to be verified from the plurality of subjects based on the tracking information; a verification unit for verifying the selected subject; and a notification unit for notifying the verified result.
