  • Patent number: 11640726
    Abstract: A server analyzes feature information including a whole body and a face of a person reflected in a video image sent from a monitoring camera and store a whole body image obtained by cutting out the whole body of the person and a face image obtained by cutting out the face of the person. In response to designation of a person of interest, the server executes first collation processing targeted for the whole body image of the person of interest and second collation processing targeted for the face image of the person of interest. Also, in response to identification of a person matching at least one of the whole body image and the face image of the person of interest by at least one of the first collation processing and the second collation processing, the server outputs a notification that the person of interest is found.

  • Patent number: 11386700
    Abstract: A face detection system includes a terminal device and a server communicably connected to the terminal device. The terminal device acquires a recorded video data file selected by user operation and transmits it to the server. The server converts the received recorded video data file into recorded video data having a predetermined format, detects a face of one or more persons based on the converted recorded video data, generates one or more face-cut images by cutting out a region of the detected face, associates information of an image capturing time point at which a person corresponding to the face cut-out image is captured with the face cut-out image, and transmits the associated information to the terminal device. The terminal device displays a thumbnail image of the received face cut-out image and information of the image capturing time point side by side in a time series on a monitor.

  • Patent number: 11062160
    Abstract: A server analyzes feature information including a whole body and a face of a person reflected in each of video images from a plurality of monitoring cameras and stores a whole body image and a face image as an analysis result. In response to designation of the whole body image and the face image of a person of interest, a client terminal sends a request for execution of each of first collation processing and second collation processing to the server. When a person matching at least one of the whole body image and the face image of the person of interest is specified by at least one of the first collation processing and the second collation processing, the server sends an alarm notification to the client terminal that the person of interest is found to the client terminal.

  • Publication number: 20210209909
    Abstract: An information processing device receives face image data from cameras for photographing respective plurality of zones in a building and includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores first information in which camera identification information of respective plurality of cameras is associated with the plurality of zones, and second information in which registered face image data is associated with a zone into which an entry of a person corresponding to the registered face image data is permitted. The processor refers to the first information and the second information, determines a photographing zone in which a person corresponding to the received face image data has been photographed, and determines whether or not the entry of the person corresponding to the face image data is permitted.

  • Patent number: 10707518
    Abstract: A method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte material includes: forming an intermediate having crosslinking sulfur but no Li2S, by vitrifying, in a first vitrification process, a starting material composition obtained by mixing Li2S and a sulfide of a group 14 or group 15 element such that a proportion of Li2S with respect to the sum total of the Li2S and the sulfide of a group 14 or group 15 element is smaller than a proportion of Li2S required for the sulfide solid electrolyte material to obtain an ortho composition; and eliminating the crosslinking sulfur by vitrifying, in a second vitrification process, an intermediate-containing composition resulting from mixing a bond cleaving compound, which cleaves a bond of the crosslinking sulfur, with the intermediate.
