  • Publication number: 20230298166
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus (10) includes an image processing unit (110) and a risk information generation unit (120). The image processing unit (110) acquires and processes an image generated by an image capture apparatus (20), that is, an image including a plurality of persons. As an example, the image processing unit (110) sets a person being at least part of the plurality of persons as a reference person and computes a distance (first distance) between the reference person and the closest person to the reference person. By using the first distance, the risk information generation unit (120) generates infection risk information in a target region being an image capture target of the image capture apparatus (20).

  • Publication number: 20230230380
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image processing unit and a risk information generation unit. By processing at least one image, the image processing unit identifies a caution-requiring location being a location where a proximity indicator being an indicator related to a proximity state between a plurality of persons satisfies a criterion. The risk information generation unit outputs information indicating the caution-requiring location. For example, the information is displayed on a display unit through a display control unit. For each person, the image processing unit computes a first distance being the distance to the closest person to the person. Then, for each of a plurality of locations, the image processing unit counts the number of times the first distance has a reference value or less. Then, the proximity indicator is set by using the number of times the first distance has the reference value or less.
