  • Patent number: 11462087
    Abstract: A surveillance camera includes an imaging unit configured to output a video frame, and a control unit configured to set a search range in the video frame and to extract a tracking-target image by using a feature quantity of an image in the search range. In a case where an object image other than the tracking target is contained in the search range, the control unit masks a feature quantity of the object image and extracts the tracking-target image.

  • Patent number: 9824447
    Abstract: An image search device includes: a search unit that retrieves an image similar to a search target image from a registration unit where an image and link information are registered in an associated manner; and a transmission unit that transmits, to a terminal device, the link information associated with the retrieved image. An information processing apparatus controls registration of an image and link information in the registration unit. The information processing apparatus extracts a predetermined area from a registration target image to be registered in the registration unit, transmits an image of the predetermined area to the search unit, and determines whether a similar image including an image similar to the predetermined area is registered in the registration unit based on a search result of the search unit. In the case where determination is made that a similar image is registered in the registration unit, such a fact is notified.
