Patent number: 11823126Abstract: The present disclosure accurately detects the position of a shelf label disposed on a display shelf. A shelf label detection device may be provided with a shelf label position correction unit and a shelf label position identification unit. The shelf label position correction unit corrects a manual shelf label position set including a shelf label position that has been set in advance for a reference camera image, using an automatic shelf label position set which includes a shelf label position detected from a monitoring camera image using image recognition, thereby generating a corrected shelf label position set. The shelf label position identification unit uses the corrected shelf label position set to identify the shelf label position in the monitoring camera image.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuhiro Yanagi, Takeshi Wakako, Tetsurou Kakizawa

Patent number: 11132896Abstract: A client terminal displays, on a display device, a visual feature of each of a plurality of vehicles passing through an intersection at a location where an incident occurred and map data indicating a passing direction of each of a plurality of vehicles passing through the intersection and sends, in response to a designation of any one of the plurality of vehicles, an instruction to set the designated vehicle as a tracking target vehicle to the server. When the instruction is received, a server specifies a camera of the intersection at which the tracking target vehicle is highly likely to enter next based on at least a current time and a passing direction of the tracking target vehicle at the intersection and sends camera information of the specified camera to the client terminal. When the camera information is received, the client terminal displays, on the display device, a position of a camera corresponding to the camera information to be superimposed on the map data identifiably.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Co.
