Abstract
An image capture assist device includes a moving speed determining unit that determines whether or not a moving speed of a camera is greater than or equal to a threshold, a target outline determining unit that, if the moving speed determining unit has determined that the moving speed of the camera is greater than or equal to the threshold, determines, on a basis of a capture image obtained from the camera, whether a candidate inspection target, being an object that may be a target to be inspected, appears in the capture image, a moving speed instruction unit that, if the target outline determining unit has determined that the candidate inspection target appears in the capture image, outputs an instruction to reduce the moving speed of the camera, a target type determining unit that, if the moving speed determining unit has determined that the moving speed of the camera is less than the threshold, determines a type of a target appearing in the capture image on a basis of the capture image, and a shooting location determining unit that determines whether the type of the target determined by the target type determining unit matches a type of an inspection target to be currently inspected, and if the type of the target matches the type of the inspection target, determines that a current location of the camera is a shooting location, and outputs an instruction to stop a movement of the camera.
