  • Publication number: 20120076356
    Abstract: Behavior authority may be changed depending on a behavior performed by a person. Therefore, it is necessary to change the judgment criteria whether the behavior is anomalous or normal, in association with the changed behavior authority. Herein, an anomaly detection apparatus is provided, which calculates the behavior authority information of which judgment criteria of the anomalous and normal behaviors are changed corresponding to the behavior performed by the person, detects whether the behavior shown by the person is anomalous or not, and issues an alarm when the anomalous behavior is detected.

  • Publication number: 20110317016
    Abstract: A device which can support a determination of a camera layout by automatically preparing the camera layout that satisfies a customer request based on the customer request including a surveillance layout. Specifically, a need table that is a data set of a plurality of arrangement candidate cameras satisfying the customer request is prepared from the customer request including the surveillance layout. An arrangement of the plurality of the arrangement candidate cameras on a map is calculated based on the need table using a clustering method and a temporary layout of cameras is prepared. Then, an arrangement layout of the cameras in the surveillance layout is determined based on the temporary layout.

  • Publication number: 20100253779
    Abstract: This is a video image monitoring system which can effectively detect a mobile object appearing in a captured video image even if a background image and other camera condition change continuously. The video image monitoring system comprises: a video-image-capturing section 100 for putting out image data based on a video image signal obtained by using a camera 10; a mobile-object-candidate-area-detecting section 101 for extracting a candidate area of a mobile object from the image data; and a mobile-object-detecting section 102 for determining whether the candidate area is the mobile object. The mobile-object-candidate-area-detecting section 101 quantizes a brightness gradient direction of the image data, and calculates a spatio-temporal histogram which represents the frequency of a direction code appearing in a predetermined spatio-temporal space. After that, the mobile-object-candidate-area-detecting section 101 calculates a statistical spatio-temporal space evaluation value of the spatio-temporal histogram.

  • Patent number: 7433493
    Abstract: A technique for detecting an abnormal behavior by monitoring moving objects such as human being and a car. The place where the abnormal behavior of the moving objects occurs is deduced from the position of the moving object and the direction in which the moving object moves and presented to the car. An abnormal detector comprises means for determining the position of the moving object and the direction in which the moving object moves, means for determining the place where an abnormal incident causing an abnormal behavior of the moving object occurs on the basis of the determined position and direction, and means for displaying the place where the abnormal incident occurs. Therefore it is possible to immediately know the cause of the abnormal behavior of the moving object from the video information collected by observation monitoring moving objects such as a human being and a car.

  • Publication number: 20060202992
    Abstract: In a data processor and a shading apparatus used in the data processor, the data processor selects an address based on the information of a memory or a translation look-aside buffer. Therefore, even when the same data are accessed, a different address at high speed is adopted according to the hardware, object to be processed, processing, etc. A plurality of geometric vectors are given as the parameters for the vertexes of a picture, the vectors are interpolated in the picture, and the luminance of each small area in the figure is calculated using the vectors generated by the interpolation. Therefore, a spotlight or highlight can be expressed with high accuracy and at high speed even when the amount of the hardware and the extent of the picture are small.

  • Publication number: 20030135387
    Abstract: A transmitter-receiver 11 accepts delinquency information indicating a delinquent situation of a repairing reserve to be paid by a comparted owner of an apartment house from a financial institution terminal 3. On the basis of the delinquency information, a delinquency rate forecasting unit 21 forecasts an average delinquency rate and its standard deviation. A marginal stress searching unit 20 calculates a cumulative reserve and calculates a marginal stress under a constraint that a cumulative reserve is not below an expenditure. A less marginal probability calculating unit 21 calculates a probability of the marginal stress or less. A permissible risk checking unit 18 checks whether or not its probability is within a tolerance range, and a revised amount calculating unit 17 revises a repairing reserve amount if the probability is beyond the tolerance range.

  • Publication number: 20030009364
    Abstract: Since it is not possible to automatically determine the appropriateness of a layout at present, there has been a problem in that it is impossible to change the layout of the facility at an appropriate timing. To solve this problem, the appropriateness a facility is judged based on a movement cost calculated using an automatically measured flow line of a moving body. In order to attain such a result, flow line-measuring is carried out for measuring the flow line of a moving body by detecting the moving body as an object to be monitored; movement cost-calculating is carried out for calculating a cost expended on movement of the moving body derived from low line information; and movement cost-evaluating is carried out for judging whether or not a cost calculated by the movement cost-calculating process is within a permissible range.

  • Publication number: 20020178040
    Abstract: It is difficult for the facility owner to decide a most suitable combination from many maintenance companies by himself. Further, it is difficult to evaluate maintenance services only by price. In order to solve the above problem, when the facility manager is entrusted with management of the facilities from the facility owner, he analyzes the service characteristics of the facility maintenance companies, prepares combinations of maintenance companies having a same service trend, and indicates maintenance information of the facilities and an evaluated value on the basis of opinions of users and the facility companies select maintenance services of facility management from the combinations by referring to the evaluated value. In this case, the service evaluated value on the basis of the maintenance information of the facilities and users' opinions is also indicated at the same time.
