Abstract: Provided is a monitoring system configured such that, even when there is a deviation of a shooting region of a camera, if the deviation is within an acceptable level, an accurate vehicle detection using a recognition model can be performed without readjusting parameters or re-training the model. Based on an image of a no-entry zone and a platform zone, a processor performs a first operation for detecting a person in the no-entry zone and a second operation for detecting a vehicle in the no-entry zone; and based on detection results, determines whether an alert needs to be issued. When there is a deviation of the shooting region of a camera, the processor performs a conversion operation for converting an image of a current shooting region to an image that would be captured by the camera with an original shooting region and uses the converted image for the two detection operations.
