  • Patent number: 11538258
    Abstract: An analysis apparatus detects persons from a first image generated by a first camera that captures a vehicle, detects the number of occupants in the vehicle captured in the first image, detects persons from a second image generated by a second camera that captures the vehicle, detects the number of occupants in the vehicle captured in the second image, determines whether or not the first image and the second image satisfy a predetermined condition, and decides, in a case where the first image and the second image satisfy the predetermined condition, the number of occupants in the vehicle with use of the number of occupants in the vehicle captured in the first image and the number of occupants in the vehicle captured in the second image.

  • Patent number: 11482018
    Abstract: A number-of-occupants detection system (1) includes an image correction unit (120) that generates a corrected image based on an image generated by an imaging unit (110) that images a vehicle traveling on a road having a plurality of lanes by executing correction processing on the image for reducing blurring of a subject captured in the image using a parameter according to a position where the vehicle travels, and a count unit (130) that counts the number of occupants of the vehicle using the corrected image generated by the image correction unit (120).

  • Patent number: 11138755
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided an analysis apparatus (10) including an image analysis unit (11) that detects a predetermined part of a vehicle and persons on the vehicle from each of a plurality of images obtained by imaging the same vehicle from different directions a plurality of times, and detects coordinates of each of the plurality of persons in a coordinate system having the detected predetermined part as a reference; a grouping unit (12) that groups the persons detected from the different images, on the basis of the coordinates; and a counting unit (13) that counts the number of groups.

  • Patent number: 11043119
    Abstract: Provided is an imaging system capable of acquiring images that favorably show the situation in a mobile object seen through a window regardless of the height of a passing mobile object. The imaging device 3 images a mobile object. The first lighting device 1 irradiates the mobile object with light. The second lighting device 2 is installed at a position higher than the first lighting device 1 and irradiates the mobile object with light. The control unit 4 causes the first lighting device 1 and the second lighting device 2 to emit light in respective patterns while the imaging device 3 is imaging a mobile object over a plurality of frames. The selector 5 selects images acquired by imaging a mobile object irradiated with light in a preset manner depending on the height of the mobile object from among images for a plurality of frames.
