Abstract
An image information provision device includes: a setting unit configured to set a collection point or a collection section for an image on a target road; and an image acquisition unit configured to request an on-board unit of a vehicle present within a predetermined range from the collection point or the collection section to transmit a captured-image captured at the collection point or in the collection section, and store, in a storage, a captured-image received from the on-board unit that has received the request.
Claims8
An image information provision device comprising:
- a setting unit that sets a collection point or a collection section for an image on a target road;
- an image acquisition unit that:
- request each of a plurality of on-board units of a respective one of a plurality of vehicles present within a predetermined range from the collection point or the collection section to transmit an image captured at the collection point or in the collection section, and
- store, in a storage, a plurality of captured-images that were captured at the collection point or in the collection section and received from the plurality of on-board units;
- and
- an image generation unit that generates, as a monitoring image, a video in which:
- the plurality of captured-images captured in the collection section are connected in time series, and
- a last frame of one of the plurality of captured images is displayed as a still view until a start of capturing a next one of the plurality of captured images connected in time series.
An image information provision method comprising:
- setting, by an image information provision device, a collection point or a collection section for an image on a target road;
- requesting, by the image information provision device, each of a plurality of on-board units of a respective one of a plurality of vehicles present within a predetermined range from the collection point or the collection section to transmit an image captured at the collection point or in the collection section;
- storing, by the image information provision device, in a storage, a plurality of captured-images that were captured at the collection point or in the collection section and received from the plurality of on-board units;
- and
- generating, by the image information provision device, as a monitoring image, a video in which:
- the plurality of captured-images captured in the collection section are connected in time series, and
- a last frame of one of the plurality of captured-images is displayed as a still view until a start of capturing a next one of the plurality of captured-images connected in time series.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that cause an image information provision device to execute processing comprising:
- setting a collection point or a collection section for an image on a target road;
- requesting each of a plurality of on-board units of a respective one of a plurality of vehicles present within a predetermined range from the collection point or the collection section to transmit an image captured at the collection point or in the collection section;
- storing, in a storage, a plurality of captured-images that were captured at the collection point or in the collection section and received from the plurality of on-board units;
- and
- generating, as a monitoring image, a video in which:
- the plurality of captured-images captured in the collection section are connected in time series, and
- a last frame of one of the plurality of captured-images is displayed as a still view until a start of capturing a next one of the plurality of captured-images connected in time series.
