Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a technology which adaptively switches video analysis methods according to a congestion situation within a video, and which carries out a suitable video analysis by a limited computational volume. Provided is an image processing device, wherein a congestion estimation unitestimates a congestion situation within a video which is acquired from an image input unit. A control unitswitches methods for video analysis according to the congestion situation. In a situation of low congestion, an image analysis unit for use in normal situationscarries out the video analysis by a basic method. In a situation of high congestion, an image analysis unit for use in congested situationscarries out a high-precision video analysis, such as an analysis which spans a plurality of frames.
