Abstract
A monitoring apparatus 10 includes: a monitoring line setting unit 11 that sets a monitoring line in an image acquired from the image capturing unit; and an overlapping detection unit 12 that detects overlapping between an object in the image and the monitoring line. If overlapping is detected by the overlapping detection unit 12, the monitoring line setting unit 11 sets a new monitoring line according to the object.
Claims18
A monitoring apparatus comprising:
- at least one computer-readable memory have stored therein program instructions;
- at least one processor configured to execute the program instructions that when executed perform operations comprising:
- a monitoring line setting unit that sets a monitoring line for detecting intrusion of a moving body into a predetermined area in a moving image captured by an imaging device;
- and
- an overlapping detection unit that detects a stationary object between the imaging device and the predetermined area in the moving image, and detects that a portion in which the monitoring line is set is overlapped with the detected object,
- wherein the monitoring line setting unit sets, when the portion is hidden by the detected object, a new monitoring line which is extended, deformed, or both extended and deformed in accordance with a shape of an outer edge of the detected object so as not to overlap the detected object.
A monitoring method comprising:
- setting a monitoring line for detecting intrusion of a moving body into a predetermined area in a moving image captured by an imaging device;
- and
- detecting a stationary object between the imaging device and the predetermined area in the moving image, and detecting that the portion in which the monitoring line is set is overlapped with the detected object, when the portion is hidden by the detected object, setting a new monitoring line which is extended, deformed, or both extended and deformed in accordance with a shape of an outer edge of the detected object so as not to overlap the detected object.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that includes a program including instructions recorded thereon, the instructions causing a computer to carry out:
- setting a monitoring line for detecting intrusion of a moving body into a predetermined area in a moving image captured by an imaging device;
- and
- detecting a stationary object between the imaging device and the predetermined area in the moving image, and detecting that a portion in which the monitoring line is set is overlapped with the detected object,
- when the portion is hidden by the detected object, setting a new monitoring line which is extended, deformed, or both extended and deformed in accordance with a shape of an outer edge of the detected object so as not to overlap the detected object.
