Surveillance camera system and surveillance camera control apparatus

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, wherein the programs stored in the memory cause, when executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors to operate to:
• obtain motion directions for each of a first plurality of objects detected from a first image captured by a first image capturing device;
• determine, from among the first plurality of objects detected from the first image, an object on which recognition processing is performed;
• associate, in a case where the recognition processing performed on the object determined from among the plurality of objects detected from the first image is failure, failure information indicating that the recognition processing is failure with a motion direction of the object;
• determine a target object on which the recognition processing is performed from among a second plurality of objects detected from a second image captured after the first image by the first image capturing device based on a score of each of the second plurality of objects, wherein the score is determined by the one or more processors based on the failure information and the associated motion direction so that a score of a first object whose motion direction in the second image falls within a predetermined range from a motion direction of an object in the first image on which the recognition processing is failure is lower than a score of a second object whose motion direction in the second image does not fall within the predetermined range in a condition where the moving speeds of the first and second objects in the second image are the same with each other;
• and
• perform the recognition processing on the target object in the second image which is captured by the first image capturing device.
