Abstract
A commodity monitoring device includes: an image acquisition unit () that sequentially acquires a sales floor image with the lapse of time; a shortage state detector () that detects a shortage state of commodities displayed on a sales floor based on the sales floor image, every time the image acquisition unit acquires the sales floor image; a duration acquisition unit () that acquires duration of the shortage state in a case where the shortage state of the commodities is detected by the shortage state detector; and a screen generator () that generates a state display image whose display form changes according to a length of the duration based on an output result of the duration acquisition unit to generate a monitoring screen including an image area in which the state display image is superimposed on the sales floor image.
