Abstract
An UGV 1 acquires a moving image of an captured imaging area, detects a receiver of an article on the basis of frame images forming the moving image, sets, as the monitoring area, an area including at least a part of the receiver and the area at a point in time when the receiver appears, detects a outsider entering the monitoring area or a outsider heading for the monitoring area on the basis of a frame image that is temporally later than a first frame image at the point in time when the receiver appears, and executes processing for notifying the receiver of outsider detection information.
Claims16
A monitoring system that monitors a monitoring area using an imaging device, the monitoring system comprising:
- an acquiring circuitry configured to acquire a moving image of an imaging area captured by the imaging device;
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and at least one processor configured to access the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
- first detecting code configured to cause the at least one processor to detect a first person on a basis of frame images forming the moving image;
- first setting code configured to cause the at least one processor to set, as the monitoring area, an area including at least a part of the first person and the area at a point in time when the first person appears, the area being narrower than the imaging area;
- second detecting code configured to cause the at least one processor to detect a second person entering the monitoring area or a second person heading for the monitoring area, the second person being a person different from the first person, on a basis of a frame image that is temporally later than a first frame image at the point in time when the first person appears;
- and
- a notification processing circuitry configured to execute processing for notifying the first person of information concerning the detection of the second person.
An unmanned vehicle that monitors a monitoring area using an imaging device, the unmanned vehicle comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and at least one processor configured to access the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
- acquiring code configured to cause the at least one processor to acquire a moving image of an imaging area captured by the imaging device;
- first detecting code configured to cause the at least one processor to detect a first person on a basis of frame images forming the moving image;
- first setting code configured to cause the at least one processor to set, as the monitoring area, an area including at least a part of the first person and the area at a point in time when the first person appears, the area being narrower than the imaging area;
- second detecting code configured to cause the at least one processor to detect a second person entering the monitoring area or a second person heading for the monitoring area, the second person being a person different from the first person, on a basis of a frame image that is temporally later than a first frame image at the point in time when the first person appears;
- and
- notification processing code configured to cause the at least one processor to execute processing for notifying the first person of information concerning detection of the second person.
