Abstract: The image processing apparatus includes a group creation unit and a group adjustment unit. The group creation unit automatically creates a frame group that includes multiple frames that are a portion of the video and have undergone position adjustment with respect to one another such that the target object images overlap one another. The group adjustment unit receives, from a user, a designation of a group adjustment amount that is a position adjustment amount for the frame group, and performs position adjustment on the frames included in the frame group in accordance with the group adjustment amount. Note that automatically creating the frame group here means that rather than receiving a designation of a position adjustment amount from the user, the image processing apparatus automatically creates a frame group in accordance with a predetermined algorithm.

Abstract: Provided is an image processing device for sorting frames included in one moving image into different channels, the frames included in the moving image being a mixture of frames belonging to the different channels. The image processing device includes an automatic sorting unit and a re-sorting unit. The automatic sorting unit calculates a similarity degree of the plurality of frames included in the moving image by performing image processing on the frames, and sorts the plurality of frames into the plurality of channels based on the similarity degree. The re-sorting unit accepts, from a user, an association operation of individually associating at least one non-sorted frame, which is not automatically sorted by the automatic sorting unit, with any of the plurality of channels, and individually sorts the non-sorted frame to any of the plurality of channels based on content of the association operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device that, when behavior to be watched for is selected by a behavior selection unit, displays a candidate arrangement position of an image capturing device that depends on the selection on a screen. Thereafter, the information processing device detects the behavior selected to be watched for, by determining whether the positional relationship between a person being watched over and a bed satisfies a predetermined condition.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device that, when the height of a reference plane of a bed is being set on a screen using a setting unit, clearly indicates, on a captured image, a region that is located at the height of the reference plane, based on depth information that is included in the captured image. It thereby becomes possible to readily set the reference plane of the bed, which serves as a reference for behavior of a person being watched over. Thereafter, the information processing device detects the behavior of the person being watched over, by determining whether the positional relationship between the reference plane of the bed and the person being watched over satisfies a predetermined condition.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device that sets a range designated within a captured image (3) as a range of a bed reference plane. During this setting, the information processing device evaluates whether the designated range is suitable as the range of the bed reference plane, based on a predetermined evaluation condition, and presents the result of that evaluation to a user. It is thereby possible to easily perform setting relating to a position of the bed that serves as a reference for detecting the behavior of a person being watched over.

Abstract: A technology is provided, which reduces a misreport of a watching system due to a non-target person's image getting contained in a captured image. An information processing apparatus includes an image acquiring unit to acquire a captured image of an imaging apparatus for watching a watching target person, a behavior detection unit to detect a behavior of the watching target person, a non-target person detection unit to detect an existence of a non-target person other than the watching target person, and a report unit to execute reporting to notify that the behavior of the watching target person is detected upon detecting the behavior of the watching target person while not detecting an existence of the non-target person, and to quit reporting to notify that the behavior of the watching target person is detected while detecting the existence of the non-target person.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device that acquires a captured image including depth information that is captured by an image capturing device including a depth sensor, and determines whether a positional relationship between a person being watched over and a region of a bed satisfies a predetermined condition, based on the depth for each pixel. In the case where a state in which the depth for each pixel within the captured image cannot be acquired by the depth sensor continues for a given period of time or longer, the information processing device notifies that there is a possibility that watching over of the person being watched over is not being performed normally.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus that can be connected to a display device and removes blurring from a first-order image is provided. The image processing apparatus includes a generation unit, a display control unit, and a selection reception unit. The generation unit generates multiple I-th order intermediate images by performing blur correction in multiple blur directions on an I-th order image. The display control unit causes the multiple I-th order intermediate images to be displayed on the display device. The selection reception unit allows the user to select an (I+1)-th order image from among the displayed multiple I-th order intermediate images as a corrected image whose blurring has been reduced more than in the I-th order image. The generation unit, the display control unit, and the selection reception unit execute the above processing in order with respect to I=1, 2, . . . , K (K being a natural number).

Abstract: An image processing apparatus for removing noise from a frame group on a timeline is provided. This image processing apparatus includes a judgment unit, a division unit, and a removal unit. The judgment unit judges whether changing points where there is a large change between adjacent frames included in the frame group appear at roughly the same interval along the timeline. The division unit, in a case where it is judged that the changing points appear at roughly the same interval, divides the frame group into a plurality of groupings along the timeline in accordance with the interval. The removal unit removes noise from the frame group in units of the groupings.
