Abstract
A control device includes a detection section, a determination section, and a controller. The detection section detects a tracking state of an image capturing device that tracks a tracking target object. The determination section determines a control option of the image capturing device. The controller controls the image capturing device according to the control option. The determination section determines the control option based on a change location where the tracking state with respect to the tracking target object has changed.
Claims16
A control device comprising:
- a detection section configured to detect a tracking state of an image capturing device that tracks a tracking target object;
- a determination section configured to determine a control option of the image capturing device;
- and
- a controller configured to control the image capturing device according to the control option, wherein
- the determination section determines the control option based on a predetermined change location where the tracking state with respect to the tracking target object has changed,
- when the detection section detects that the tracking state of the image capturing device is a detection tracking state in which movement of the tracking target object is detected by the image capturing device, the determination section determines that the controller is to control the image capturing device to continue tracking the tracking target object,
- when the detection section detects that the tracking state of the image capturing device has changed at the predetermined change location from the detection tracking state to a non-detection tracking state in which movement of the tracking target object is not detected by the image capturing device, the determination section determines that the controller is to control the image capturing device to terminate tracking of the tracking target object,
- the determination section determines the control option according to a number of security guards on guard over the tracking target object,
- the determination section sets a flag value according to the tracking state of the image capturing device, and
- the controller controls the image capturing device to continue tracking the tracking target object according to the flag value.
