Abstract: An action detection unit (110) analyzes monitor data obtained by monitoring a monitoring place, and detects a relevant action performed at the monitoring place and having a characteristic that is common to a violating action. A situation analysis unit (120) analyzes visual data obtained by photographing the monitoring place, and detects a surrounding situation of an action position equivalent to a position where the relevant action was performed. The situation analysis unit decides a nuisance degree of the relevant action on a basis of the surrounding situation. A presentation control unit (130) determines an alert level on a basis of the nuisance degree. The presentation control unit presents presentation information corresponding to the alert level with using a presentation apparatus installed at the monitoring place.

Abstract: A position specifying unit specifies installation positions of cameras at which a subject region received by a region receiving unit can be captured on the basis of a camera condition received by the condition receiving unit. A virtual video generating unit generates virtual captured videos obtained by capturing a CG space with the cameras in a case where the cameras are installed at the specified installation positions, and performs overhead-conversion on the generated virtual captured videos and combines the virtual captured videos to generate a virtual synthetic video. A display unit displays the generated virtual synthetic video on a display.
