20120155769 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing device comprises a region dividing unit which divides a captured image obtained by a camera unit into a plurality of regions, and an image compressing unit which compresses each of region images obtained by the division by the region dividing unit while changing the compression rate according to the distance from a predetermined point in the captured image to each of the region images and the distance from the camera unit to a target included in each of the regions. For example, the image compressing unit compresses the region image having a larger angle from the optical axis at a larger compression rate, thereby achieving compression in which the amount of data in low-quality regions is greatly reduced and the quality of high-quality regions is maintained. | 06-21-2012 |

The people counting device further includes: a portion detection process unit which performs a portion detection process for detecting a portion of a person based on the portion detector information; and a people counting unit which obtains a number of people within the input image from a portion detection process result. | 09-05-2013 |
20130278774 | IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM, CAMERA CONTROL DEVICE FOR USE THEREIN, IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD, CAMERA CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - Each camera comprises an image generation unit for generating an image by capturing the image, a moving object detection unit for detecting a moving object from the image and transmitting information on the position of the moving object to the server, and an image transmission unit for, when the camera is selected by the server, transmitting an image. The server comprises an image delivery camera selection unit for selecting some cameras as image delivery cameras from among the cameras based on the information on the position of the moving object transmitted from each of the cameras, an image delivery camera notification unit for notifying the selection result to the cameras, and an image input unit for inputting the images transmitted from the image delivery cameras. | 10-24-2013 |
20140098996 | IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD - An image display apparatus is provided that can obtain a stable and easy to view detection frame and cut-out image in a captured image in which there is a possibility that a congested region and a non-congested region are mixed, such as an omnidirectional image. Congested region detecting section detects a congested region in a captured image by detecting a movement region of the captured image. Object detecting section detects images of targets in the captured image by performing pattern matching. Detection frame forming section forms a congested region frame that surrounds a congested region detected by congested region detecting section, and object detection frame that surround image of target detected by object detecting section. | 04-10-2014 |
20140313415 | CAMERA DEVICE, SERVER DEVICE, IMAGE MONITORING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE MONITORING SYSTEM, AND CONTROL PROGRAM OF IMAGE MONITORING SYSTEM - An image monitoring system that efficiently utilizes a network band and decrease the processing load of a server is provided. A second image decision processor analyzes an extracted image transmitted from a monitoring terminal, and evaluates the quality (reliability) of the extracted image. A reliability decision unit outputs an individual ID of the analyzed extracted image to a load estimation unit when the numerical value from the analysis output by the second decision processor becomes less than the preset threshold. The load estimation unit estimates the server processor load of a server and the network load. A resend request unit controls the resend request for an individual ID output from the negative load estimation unit corresponding to the server processor load and the network load. | 10-23-2014 |
20140341472 | PERSON DETECTION DEVICE AND PERSON DETECTION METHOD - The purpose of the invention is to increase accuracy in detecting a person on the basis of the size of an object detection region in an omni-directional image. A height-and-width switching section for switching between the height and the width of the object detection region on the basis of the position of the object detection region in the omni-directional image is provided. It is determined on the basis of the height and the width of the object detection region for which the height and the width are switched by the height-and-width switching section whether the object detection region is a person detection region. As a result, the person detection region and a shadow detection region can be correctly separated in the omni-directional image. | 11-20-2014 |
