MONITORING APPARATUS, MONITORING SYSTEM AND MONITORING METHOD

摘要

A person is detected from a moving image of the monitoring area, and position information on the person is acquired. Temporal statistical processing is performed on the position information, statistical information relating to a staying situation of the person is acquired in accordance with setting of a target period of time for the statistical processing, and thus a heat map moving image is generated. Furthermore, a mask image corresponding to a person image area is generated at every predetermined point in time based on the position information on the person. A monitoring moving image that results from superimposing the heat map image and the mask image onto a background image is generated and is output at every predetermined point in time.

主权项

1. A monitoring apparatus that generates and outputs a monitoring moving image that results from superimposing a foreground image showing an activity situation of a moving object in a monitoring area onto a background image, the monitoring apparatus comprising:
a processor; a memory in which an instruction is stored; a position information acquirer that detects a moving object from a moving image of the monitoring area and acquires position information on every moving object; a statistical information acquirer that performs temporal statistical processing on the position information acquired by the position information acquirer and acquires statistical information relating to a staying situation of the moving object in accordance with setting of a target period of time for the statistical processing; a first foreground image generator that generates a first foreground image that results from visualizing the statistical information acquired by the statistical information acquirer; a second foreground image generator that generates a second foreground image corresponding to an image area of the moving object at every predetermined point in time based on the position information acquired by the positional information acquirer; and a moving image output controller that generates and outputs the monitoring moving image that results from superimposing the first and second foreground images that are generated by the first and second foreground image generators, respectively, onto the background image at every predetermined point in time, wherein the position information acquirer, the statistical information acquirer, the first foreground image generator, the second foreground mage generator, and the moving image output controller are configured to execute the instruction of the processor.
