  • Patent number: 11195022
    Abstract: A monitoring system includes a first imaging device, a second imaging device, and a controller. The first imaging device captures an image of a first imaging area to generate first captured image data indicating a first captured image. The second imaging device captures an image of a second imaging area to generate second captured image data indicating a second captured image. The controller detects the events. The events include a pre-event. The pre-event is an imaging obstruction act in which imaging is obstructed in the first imaging area. The controller calculates a first obstruction area rate, and calculates a second obstruction area rate. When the first obstruction area rate is equal to or greater than a threshold and the second obstruction area rate is less than the threshold, the controller detects the imaging obstruction act as the pre-event.

  • Patent number: 11122208
    Abstract: A monitoring system detects an event happening to a detection target, and includes imaging devices, storage, and a controller. The imaging devices each capture an image of an imaging area including the detection target to generate captured image data indicating a captured image. The storage stores therein a detection range in the captured image. The controller detects a change to the captured image in the detection range based on the captured image data. The controller determines one of the imaging devices that has provided a captured image whose image exhibiting a portion of the detection target has a larger area among the captured images to be a main imaging device. Upon detecting a change to a captured image in the detection range captured by the main imaging device, the controller changes the detection range of the main imaging device so that the detection range encloses the detection target image.
