Abstract
Object detection method and apparatus, including an image-pickup unit picking up the image of a target region, a first recording device accumulating, as a reference image, an image signal from the image-pickup unit, a second recording device storing a table which defines surveillance information on the image signal, an object detection processing unit detecting a target object from the image signal and the reference image, a memory table storing a processing result from the processing unit, and a display unit. The image signal from the image-pickup unit is saved based on the table of the second recording device, and the processing result in the memory table is displayed on the display unit. The surveillance information in the table of the second recording device is modified based on the display of the processing result obtained by the object detection processing unit.
