PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a monitoring system whereby an imaging means automatically zooms in by a point entry to an imaged image displayed screen of a display means, succeedingly the execution of detecting a person's face or a person's head is automatically shifted on the basis of the imaged image and the continuity of a monitoring work by an operator can be facilitated. SOLUTION: The monitoring system comprises: a panning mechanism 50; a tilt mechanism 60; and a controller 70 for controlling a zoom mechanism 40, the panning mechanism 50, and the tilt mechanism 60. When the operator uses a pen 35 to designate an area of the displayed image, the controller 70 applies zoom-in control to the zoom mechanism 40 so as to magnify a prescribed image area in the designated area to magnify the imaged image of the prescribed area. Further, the controller 70 detects the person's face or the person's head on the basis of the magnified imaged image. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
