The detection section detects a tracking state of an image capturing device that tracks a tracking target object. The determination section determines a control option of the image capturing device. The controller controls the image capturing device according to the control option. The determination section determines the control option based on a change location where the tracking state with respect to the tracking target object has changed.

Abstract: An imaging device of a monitoring system generates captured image data indicating a captured image including a detection target. An input section of a control device of the monitoring system receives a first input indicating a first position on or in the vicinity of the detection target in the captured image and a second input indicating a second position farther from the detection target than the first position. A first setting section sets a first detection range defined by a boundary surrounding the detection target. A second setting section sets a second detection range defined by a boundary surrounding the first detection range. A third setting section sets a third detection range defined by a boundary located outside the first detection range and inside the second detection range. A monitoring controller controls monitoring of a specific event within the second detection range or the third detection range.

Abstract: A display device includes a display section, an assignment section, a setting section, and a detection section. The detection section specifies a specific candidate selection range among candidate selection ranges and detects an operation to switch between setting and non-setting of selected range setting by the setting section for the specific candidate selection range. In a situation in which the detection section detects a first operation to change the selected range setting for the specific candidate selection range and then detects a second operation performed in a specific direction from the specific candidate selection range, the setting section changes the selected range setting for the specific candidate selection range and changes the selected range setting for a candidate selection range located in the specific direction from the specific candidate selection range to the same setting as that set for the specific candidate selection range.

Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus that can easily print a wrapping paper for packaging a three-dimensional object. An image reading part acquires an image of an object matter placed on a document table. A dimension acquisition part acquires dimensions of the three-dimensional object on the basis of an image of one face of the three-dimensional object, and an image of another face, crossing the one face of the three-dimensional object, the images having been acquired by the image reading part. A paper selection part selects a paper capable of packaging the three-dimensional object on the basis of the dimensions of the three-dimensional object that have been acquired by the dimension acquisition part. An image forming part outputs a wrapping paper that has been printed with an image on the paper selected by the paper selection part.
