Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to correct more accurate marketing information. A flow line display system of the present invention includes image-capturing unit, information operation device and display unit. The image-capturing unit captures an image. The information operation device detects an object from the image and identifies a flow line of the object, an orientation of the object, and a time related to the orientation. The display unit displays the orientation of the object and the time related to the orientation together with the flow line of the object.
Claims18
A flow line display apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- detect an person from an image;
- generate a flow line of the person;
- detect an orientation of the person;
- determine a duration of time;
- determine a size of a mark based on the orientation of the person and the duration of time;
- and
- display the mark with the determined feature and the detected orientation together with the flow line of the person.
The flow line display apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to display the flow line information in lines of varied types, based on the speed information.
A flow line display method comprising:
- detecting an person from an image;
- generating a flow line of the person;
- detecting an orientation of the person;
- determining a duration of time;
- determining a size of a mark based on the orientation of the person and the duration of time;
- and
- displaying the mark with the determined size and the detected orientation together with the flow line of the person.
The flow line display method according to claim 11,
- wherein the identifying comprises identifying flow line information of the person and time information indicating the duration of time, based on position information indicating a position of the person, image-capturing time information indicating a time of capturing the image of the person, and orientation information indicating the orientation of the person, and
- wherein the displaying comprises displaying the orientation information and the time information together with the flow line information of the person.
The flow line display method according to claim 12, wherein the orientation information indicates a time during which a face of the person is positioned in the orientation.
A non-transitory machine-readable program-recording medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute:
- detecting an person from an image;
- generating a flow line of the person;
- detecting an orientation of the person;
- determining a duration of time;
- determining a size of a mark based on the orientation of the person and the duration of time;
- and
- displaying the mark with the determined size and the detected orientation together with the flow line of the person.
The program-recording medium according to claim 14,
- wherein the identifying comprises identifying flow line information of the person and time information indicating the duration of time, based on position information indicating a position of the person, image-capturing time information indicating a time of capturing the image of the person, and orientation information indicating the orientation of the person, and
- wherein the displaying comprises displaying the orientation information and the time information together with the flow line information of the person.
The program-recording medium according to claim 15, wherein the orientation information indicates a time during which a face of the person is positioned in the orientation.
