Abstract
A monitoring device includes a fixed area setter that sets an area of a part of a display shelf to be monitored as a fixed area, based on a captured image of the display shelf in a store, a shelf detector that detects the display shelf, by determining a similarity between an image of the fixed area set by the fixed area setter and an image at the same position as the fixed area, from the captured image of the store, and an alert notifier that notifies a user that the display shelf to be monitored is not detected, when it is determined that there is no similarity.
