Monitoring apparatus, method, and program

摘要

An entrance and in-store matching unit searches a first mismatched face image that is not matched with a face image captured at an entrance from all face images, which are captured in a store and registered in a biological information DB. An entrance and exit matching unit searches a second mismatched face image that is not matched with a face image captured at an entrance from all the face images, which are captured at an exit and registered in the biological information DB. An exit and in-store matching unit searches a matched face image that is matched with the second mismatched face image among the first mismatched face images. An entrance information registration unit registers the searched matched face image in the biological information DB as the face image captured at the entrance. The present invention can be applied to a monitoring system.

主权项

1. A monitoring apparatus comprising:
a plurality of image capturers configured to capture a face image of a matching target person in at least first to third areas; storage configured to store the face image of the matching target person captured in each of the first to third areas in a database together with information identifying each of the first to third areas; a first search unit configured to match the face images captured in the first area among the face images registered in the database against the face images captured in the second area, and searching a first mismatched face image that is not matched with the face images captured in the first area for all the face images captured in the second area; a second search unit configured to match the face images captured in the first area among the face images registered in the database against the face images captured in the third area, and searching a second mismatched face image that is not matched with the face images captured in the first area from all the face images captured in the third area; a third search unit configured to search a matched face image, which is matched with the second mismatched face image, among the first mismatched face images; and a registration unit configured to register the matched face image searched by the third search unit in the database as the face image captured in the first area.
