  • Publication number: 20240119621
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for supporting a movement of a moving body in a predetermined area. The system acquires an image captured by an infrastructure camera such that the image includes a plurality of markers arranged in the predetermined area. The system compares the image acquired this time and the image acquired previous time. The system detects a position change marker among the plurality of markers whose position in the image acquired previous time changes from that in the image acquired this time. The system determines that the infrastructure camera is out of position when it is detected that number of the position change marker is equal to or more than a predetermined number. The system determines that the infrastructure camera is not out of position when it is detected that number of the position change marker is less than the predetermined number.
