    Abstract: A person is detected from a moving image of the monitoring area, and position information on the person is acquired. Temporal statistical processing is performed on the position information, statistical information relating to a staying situation of the person is acquired in accordance with setting of a target period of time for the statistical processing, and thus a heat map moving image is generated. Furthermore, a mask image corresponding to a person image area is generated at every predetermined point in time based on the position information on the person. A monitoring moving image that results from superimposing the heat map image and the mask image onto a background image is generated and is output at every predetermined point in time.

    Abstract: A commodity monitoring device includes: an image acquisition unit (51) that sequentially acquires a sales floor image with the lapse of time; a shortage state detector (52) that detects a shortage state of commodities displayed on a sales floor based on the sales floor image, every time the image acquisition unit acquires the sales floor image; a duration acquisition unit (53) that acquires duration of the shortage state in a case where the shortage state of the commodities is detected by the shortage state detector; and a screen generator (54) that generates a state display image whose display form changes according to a length of the duration based on an output result of the duration acquisition unit to generate a monitoring screen including an image area in which the state display image is superimposed on the sales floor image.

    Abstract: An activity map creating device creates an activity situation of a moving object, and outputs an activity map visualizing the activity situation of the moving object. The device includes a moving object detector that detects the moving object from a captured image, and a first activity value obtainer that obtains a moving object activity value for each of a plurality of detection elements. The device further includes a target area setter that sets a target area, a second activity value obtainer that aggregates, in the target area, moving object activity values of the respective detection elements, and a map generator that creates the activity map for the target area based on the aggregation. The device further includes an output information generator that creates output information on the activity map.

    Abstract: Position information on every moving object is acquired from a moving image of a monitoring area, and activity information during every unit time is acquired from the position information on every moving object. Conditions of an observation period of time are set according to a user input operation, the observation period of time is controlled in accordance with the conditions of the observation period of time, and the activity information during every unit time is aggregated during the observation period of time to acquire the activity information during the observation period of time. An activity map image is generated from the activity information during the observation period of time, and the activity map image and the moving image of the monitoring area are generated and output at every predetermined point in time.
