  • Publication number: 20190249994
    Abstract: A surveillance apparatus (2000) includes a first calculation unit (2020), an extraction unit (2040), and a notification unit (2060). The first calculation unit (2020) calculates a risk index value in a first region (40) on a current route (20). The risk index value of the first region (40) indicates a degree of concern that a risk (such as crowd confusion) caused by congestion of people occurs in the first region (40). For calculation of the risk index value in the first region (40), a captured image generated by a camera (50) is used. The extraction unit (2040) extracts a bypass route (30) when the risk index value of the first region (40) is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. The notification unit (2060) notifies a user that a route through which a person is caused to pass is to be switched to the extracted bypass route (30).

  • Patent number: 10368035
    Abstract: An abnormality behind a shielding object is discovered. There is provided a monitoring system including a video acquirer, a detector, and a notifier. The video acquirer of the monitoring system acquires a video. The detector of the monitoring system detects entering of a target object into a blind spot generated by a shielding object in the video and appearance of the target object from the blind spot. If the target object does not appear from the blind spot even after a first time elapses since entering of the target object into the blind spot, the notifier of the monitoring system makes a notification.
