  • Patent number: 11462087
    Abstract: A surveillance camera includes an imaging unit configured to output a video frame, and a control unit configured to set a search range in the video frame and to extract a tracking-target image by using a feature quantity of an image in the search range. In a case where an object image other than the tracking target is contained in the search range, the control unit masks a feature quantity of the object image and extracts the tracking-target image.

  • Publication number: 20220083811
    Abstract: A monitoring camera includes a capturing unit that is configured to capture an image of at least one object within the angle of view, and a processor that is equipped with the artificial intelligence and that is configured to detect a plurality of characteristic parts of the object reflected in a captured image input from the capturing unit based on the artificial intelligence. The processor associates, for each of the at least one object, information for specifying each of the plurality of detected characteristic parts with a same object ID.

  • Patent number: 9091904
    Abstract: A camera device with a rotary base has an automatic panning function of imaging a predetermined zone while reciprocating in a preset panning direction. The camera device includes: an imaging unit configured to image a subject and output a video signal; a rotary base configured to cause the imaging unit to rotate in a panning direction and a tilting direction; a motion and face detecting unit configured to detect the motion or face of the subject based on the video signal output from the imaging unit; and a tilt control instruction creating unit configured to create a tilt control instruction based on the detection result from the motion and face detecting unit and give the tilt control instruction to the rotary base to cause the imaging unit to rotate in the tilting direction.
