  • Patent number: 12175760
    Abstract: There is provided an image analysis system having an image analysis server which analyzes an input image of a monitoring area and detects a state of a specific monitored object. The image analysis server is configured to divide, in the input image of the monitoring area, a portion of an area in which the monitored object is expected to be present into a plurality of grids, generate a trained model trained by associating “1” with an image of a grid in which the monitored object is present and “0” with an image of a grid in which the monitored object is not present for each grid, calculate, for the input image, a confidence of a presence of the monitored object for each grid using the trained model, determine a presence or absence of the monitored object in the monitoring area based on confidences of the plurality of grids, and detect an abnormality when a confidence value in at least one of the grids is inconsistent with the determination result.

  • Patent number: 12101548
    Abstract: Processing for judging whether a face is included in a frame is performed, in a predetermined interval, on each of frames included in a moving image of a subject, displayed on a monitor, until the judgment becomes positive. If it is judged that a face is included in a frame, the facial position is detected in the frame, and stored. Then, judgment is made as to whether a face is included in the next frame after predetermined time. If the judgment is positive, the facial position is detected. The previously stored facial position is replaced by the newly detected facial position, and the newly detected facial position is stored. These processes are repeated until photographing operation is performed by operating a release unit.
