Abstract
A train monitoring system in the present embodiment is provided with a compartment camera 10 that takes an image of the inside of a compartment of the train, a processing server 30 that calculates a vacancy probability for each reserved seat on the basis of the image taken by the compartment camera 10 while the train is running and detects a resale candidate seat by comparing the vacancy probability with a threshold value, and a touch panel monitor 40 that displays resale candidate seat information indicating the resale candidate seat that has been detected by the processing server 30.
Claims8
A train monitoring system, comprising:
- a camera that takes an image of the inside of a compartment of a train;
- a server that calculates the probability of being vacant or occupied for each reserved seat on the basis of the image that has been taken by the camera while the train is running, and detects a resale candidate seat by comparing the probability with a threshold value;
- and
- a monitor that displays information on the resale candidate seat that has been detected by the server,
- wherein the information on the resale candidate seat displayed on the monitor includes information for identifying the resale candidate seat and the probability that has been calculated for the corresponding reserved seat.
A train monitoring method by means of a camera that can be used to take an image of the inside of a compartment of a train, the method comprising steps of:
- calculating, by a server that is connected to the camera so as to be communicable, the probability of being vacant or occupied for each reserved seat on the basis of an image that has been taken by the camera while the train is running, and detecting a resale candidate seat by comparing the probability with a threshold value;
- and
- causing, by the server, a monitor to display information on the resale candidate seat,
- wherein the information on the resale candidate seat displayed on the monitor includes information for identifying the resale candidate seat and the probability that has been calculated for the corresponding reserved seat.
