Target detection device and target detection method

Abstract

Disclosed is a target detection device which can match a moving object in a captured image to an identifier when a plurality of identifiers began to be received in a short time, or when the number of identifiers received was larger than the number of detected position histories. The device (100) comprises: a feature information extraction unit (103) which extracts the feature information of at least one moving object imaged in a captured image, a read unit (104) which reads the identifier of the wireless terminal held by the moving object, a history controller (105) which links and saves the feature information and the identifier at each time, and a matching unit (106) which matches the feature information and an identifier stored in the history controller (105) based on the degree of similarity with the feature information stored in the history controller (105) and the links between the feature information and the identifier.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
