The detection section detects a tracking state of an image capturing device that tracks a tracking target object. The determination section determines a control option of the image capturing device. The controller controls the image capturing device according to the control option. The determination section determines the control option based on a change location where the tracking state with respect to the tracking target object has changed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a determination unit, a process identifying unit, a color changing unit, and an image forming unit. The determination unit determines whether the writing image identified by a writing image identifying unit matches a preliminarily determined writing pattern. The process identifying unit identifies a color change process corresponding to the writing pattern when the writing image is determined to match the writing pattern at the determination unit. The color changing unit deletes the writing image from the image and changes a display style in the image to a display style with the writing color indicated in the color information in accordance with the color change process identified by the process identifying unit. The image forming unit forms an image obtained such that the color changing unit changes the display style in the image to the display style with the writing color on a recording sheet.

Abstract: A monitoring system includes: a camera, a storage section, and a control unit. The camera photographs an object. The storage section stores a first photographed image photographed by the camera and a second photographed image photographed by the camera at a same photographing place of a photographing place of the first photographed image after the photographing of the first photographed image. The control unit includes a processor and, through execution of a control program by the processor, functions as an obstacle determination section and a control section. The obstacle determination section calculates a difference between the first photographed image and the second photographed image and determines, based on the difference, whether or not an obstacle is present in a photographing range of the camera. The control section performs, upon determination by the obstacle determination section that the obstacle is present, processing of reporting results of the determination.

Abstract: A login support system includes an electronic apparatus, a camera, a storage unit, and a control unit that includes a processor and acts, when the processor executes a login support control program, as a face authentication section, a gesture determination section, and a controller. The face authentication section extracts a face image of a person from a captured image captured by the camera and, when the extracted face image coincides with any of pieces of face information stored in the storing unit, authenticates the extracted face image. The gesture determination section detects a gesture of a person on a basis of the captured image and determines whether the detected gesture coincides with a prescribed gesture. When the face image of the person is authenticated and the gesture of the person is determined as coinciding with the prescribed gesture, the controller permits a login to the electronic apparatus to that person.

Abstract: A surveillance terminal apparatus includes a storage unit, a communication unit, a picture identifier, a reader, a facial recognition processor, a display unit, and a playback controller. The picture identifier identifies, as an entry picture and an exit picture, a part of the picture of a target person shot by an imaging device and stored in the storage unit. The facial recognition processor identifies both of the entry picture and the exit picture of the same target person, by performing facial recognition with respect to the entry picture and the exit picture read out by the reader. The playback controller changes playback times of the pictures corresponding to actual length of the pictures to the same playback time, when a difference between the playback times of the respective pictures exceeds a threshold, and causes the display unit to simultaneously play back both of the pictures side by side.

Abstract: An information terminal includes: a display section; a display control section; a touch panel; a gesture detecting section that detects, when the display control section allows the display section to display images in three or more split regions of a display screen, a pinch-out gesture of spreading two fingers touching respective adjacent two of the three or more split regions; and a region setting section that makes, upon detection of the pinch-out gesture, a setting that the adjacent two split regions are aligned along directions of the pinch-out gesture and that the display screen is split into two split regions to be exclusively placed therewithin. The display control section allows an enlarged display of the images of the split regions subjected to the pinch-out gesture in the split regions set by the region setting section and avoids a display of the images of the other one or more split regions.

Abstract: A document image reading section is configured to read, among documents constituting a book, an image of a document of one page of the book. A document image checking section is configured to check the read image of the read document against registered images of documents stored in a server to determine whether or not the registered image matching the read image exists. When the registered image matching the read image exists, a document image acquisition section acquires the matching registered image. A document image printing section forms an image on a paper sheet using the acquired registered image.
