Abstract: A camera and a laser radar are attached to the hoist of an overhead crane. Image data and three-dimensional point clouds are acquired during operation and accumulated as operation result data. An information processing apparatus displays the crane's movement trajectory on the terminal and predicts maintenance timing based on operation result data, evaluates a degree of danger and detects an occurrence of accident based on a positional relationship between the crane and an operator, performs optimization of a movement path, a transport sequence of multiple suspended loads, a layout in the facility, and the like, and performs post-operation diagnosis for the degree of danger and operation efficiency of the crane. In addition, the crane is used to scan the inside of the facility to detect abnormalities such as fires and suspicious persons after the work hours of the facility. These treatments can improve the usefulness of the crane.

Abstract: An attention position detection section detects an attention position of a user to a reproduction image of moving image data. Image-related information indicating a position of a virtual division area in which the reproduction image is virtually divided and an importance level of the virtual division area is associated with the moving image data. A reproduction control section determines the importance level of the virtual division area corresponding to the attention position detected by the attention position detection section and controls a reproduction operation of the moving image data in accordance with the determined importance level. For example, the reproduction control section sets a larger number of images to be thinned in the reproduction operation as the importance level becomes lower so as to make the reproduction speed faster. The user can control the reproduction operation only by moving the attention position and easily perform the appropriate reproduction operation.
