Installation assistance apparatus, installation assistance method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An installation assistance method comprising, by an installation assistance apparatus:

• acquiring a first image from a first image capture apparatus out of the first image capture apparatus and a second image capture apparatus that are placed in such a way as to face each other in a plan view;
• detecting a position of at least part of the second image capture apparatus in the first image by processing the first image;
• determining whether the position of the second image capture apparatus satisfies a criterion;
• causing a determination result to be output, wherein
• the criterion includes that a lens of a camera of the second image capture apparatus is included in a predetermined area at a predetermined position in the first image, and
• the determination result includes at least one type of information out of information indicating that the criterion is satisfied and information indicating that the criterion is not satisfied;
• and
• repeatedly performing determination processing and outputting the determination result including the information to notify an operator of the information, during executing installation work of the first image capture apparatus and the second image capture apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute:

• a procedure for acquiring a first image from a first image capture apparatus out of the first image capture apparatus and a second image capture apparatus that are placed in such a way as to face each other in a plan view;
• a procedure for detecting a position of at least part of the second image capture apparatus in the first image by processing the first image;
• a procedure for determining whether the position of the second image capture apparatus satisfies a criterion;
• a procedure for causing a determination result to be output, wherein
• the criterion includes that a lens of a camera of the second image capture apparatus is included in a predetermined area at a predetermined position in the first image, and
• the determination result includes at least one type of information out of information indicating that the criterion is satisfied and information indicating that the criterion is not satisfied;
• and
• a procedure for repeatedly performing determination processing and outputting the determination result including the information to notify an operator of the information, during executing installation work of the first image capture apparatus and the second image capture apparatus.
