Abstract: A monitoring apparatus includes a processor, wherein the monitoring apparatus images a monitoring area and outputs a moving image of the monitoring area, and the processor detects all persons appearing in the moving image, performs mask processing of changing inner portions of outlines of all persons into translucent mask images, and superposes the mask images on a background image, to generate a mask-processed moving image, and outputs the mask-processed moving image to a browsing apparatus through a network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a moving information analyzing system in which a camera and a server are connected to each other. The camera includes an imaging section that captures an image of a predetermined imaging region, a background image generating section that repeatedly generates a background image of a captured image of the imaging region at predetermined timings, a moving information analyzing section that extracts moving information regarding a staying position or a passing position in the imaging region of a moving object included in the captured image, and a transmitter that transmits the background image generated by the background image generating section and the moving information of the moving object extracted by the moving information analyzing section to the server at a predetermined transmission cycle.

Abstract: When monitoring a logistics line and outputting a video image on a display, a privacy-protected video image processor uses an image of a first specific region corresponding to an area of the logistics line as it is among an original image captured by a capture, and performs mask processing on a person detected in an image of a region other than the first specific region.

Abstract: An image transmission device includes an image input unit that inputs a plurality of continuous images, a data amount reduction unit that reduces an amount of data of the plurality of images that are input to the image input unit, and generates a data amount reduced image, and a transmission unit that transmits the data amount reduced image to an image reception device that performs a recognition/authentication process with respect to the data amount reduced image. The data amount reduction unit reduces the amount of data of the plurality of images by a reduction method corresponding to the recognition/authentication process that is performed in the image reception device.

Abstract: A video transmission apparatus detects a target object to be monitored from images obtained by imaging a monitoring area, tracks the detected target object, obtains existence time from appearance to disappearance of the target object, and transmits a data volume reduced image of the target object to a video reception apparatus. The video reception apparatus analyzes the data volume reduced image transmitted from the video transmission apparatus and transmits a video request of the target object to the video transmission apparatus) based on input made according to the result of the analysis. When the video request transmitted from the video reception apparatus is received, the video transmission apparatus generates a monitoring video from the appearance to the disappearance of the target object based on the existence time of the target object and transmits the monitoring video to the video reception apparatus.
