  • Patent number: 8320624
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a computer selects trajectory data on a person positioned in an image monitoring area from trajectory data on relevant persons. The computer selects a selling space image data obtained when the person corresponding to the trajectory data is positioned in the image monitoring area. The computer analyzes the selling space image data to extract a person image. The computer checks the person image extracted from the selling space image data against image data on each customer to search for customer image data obtained by taking an image of the person in the person image. The computer stores, upon detecting the customer image data obtained by taking an image of the person in the person image, identification information on transaction data stored in association with the customer image data, in association with identification information on the trajectory data.

  • Patent number: 8224685
    Abstract: The invention provides a personal behavior analysis apparatus capable of statistically analyzing a personal behavior. To analyze personal behaviors, a population data file is provided that stores flow-line data for individual persons as a population acquired by tracking the behaviors of persons within a monitored area. After input of a condition for narrowing down the flow-line data as analysis objects is accepted via a condition input section, the population data file is searched based on the condition and flow-line data meeting the condition is acquired. The acquired flow-line data is stored in a subpopulation data file as a subpopulation. A control section of the apparatus calculates statistics values related to personal behavior analysis using the flow-line data stored in the subpopulation data file and displays them on a display section.

  • Publication number: 20110007152
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, the flow line recognition system includes a first device, a first recording unit, a second device, a second recording unit and a generation unit. The first device detects a position of a moving object in a monitoring area by laser scanning. The second device detects a position of the moving object in a specific area, which is a part of the monitoring area, more accurately than the first device. The generation unit generates flow line information indicative of a path of the moving object moving in the monitoring area, based on the moving object information for the monitoring area recorded in the first recording unit, and the moving object information for the specific area recorded in the second recording unit.

  • Publication number: 20090268028
    Abstract: A flow line creation section generates flow line data indicative of a trajectory of a customer moving in a monitored area. The generated flow line data is stored in a flow line database. A customer extraction section extracts image data including the customer's face image from a video captured by a camera. The extracted image data is stored in a customer image database. A matching section matches the flow line data stored in the flow line database individually with the image data including the customer's face image corresponding to the flow line data, out of the image data stored in the customer image database. Data indicative of a correlation between the matched flow line data and image data is stored in a matching list database.
