Abstract
A control apparatus (10) includes an image processing unit (110), a movement route estimation unit (120), and a control unit (140). The image processing unit (110) detects occurrence of a specific event by processing an image. The movement route estimation unit (120) determines an object being a person and/or a vehicle being involved in the specific event, and estimates an estimated movement route of the object. The control unit (140) controls a device in order to guide the object according to the estimated movement route. The device to be controlled herein is, for example, a traffic light included in a traffic system.
Claims18
A control apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- processing an image and thereby detecting occurrence of a specific event;
- determining an object being a person and/or a vehicle being involved in the specific event;
- estimating an estimated movement route of the object;
- and
- controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle in order to track the object along the estimated movement route.
A control method performed by a computer, the control method comprising:
- processing an image and thereby detecting occurrence of a specific event;
- determining an object being a person and/or a vehicle being involved in the specific event;
- estimating an estimated movement route of the object;
- and
- controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle in order to track the object along the estimated movement route.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- processing an image and thereby detecting occurrence of a specific event;
- determining an object being a person and/or a vehicle being involved in the specific event;
- estimating an estimated movement route of the object;
- and
- controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle in order to track the object along the estimated movement route.
