Patent number: 10185965Abstract: A stay duration measurement device for measuring a stay duration in a measurement area for each moving object, includes: a movement line obtaining unit that obtains a movement line of each moving object detected from images including the measurement area; a movement line assessment unit that determines whether the movement line obtained by the movement line obtaining unit includes a missing part in the measurement area; and a stay duration obtaining unit that, in a case where it is determined by the movement line assessment unit that the movement line of a moving object of interest includes a missing part in the measurement area, obtains a stay duration compensated for the missing part based on a time period(s) required for movement(s) of one or more other moving objects in the measurement area.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuichi Matsumoto, Hiroaki Yoshio, Youichi Gouda

Patent number: 10049283Abstract: Provided is a stay condition analyzing apparatus including a stay information acquirer which acquires stay information for each predetermined measurement period of time on the basis of positional information of a moving object which is acquired from a captured image of a target area, a heat map image generator which generates a heat map image obtained by visualizing the stay information, a background image generator which generates a background image from the captured image, and a display image generator which generates a display image by superimposing the heat map image on the background image. The background image generator generates the background image by performing image processing for reducing discriminability of the moving object appearing in the captured image on the captured image.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2015Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuichi Matsumoto, Hiroaki Yoshio, Youichi Gouda

Patent number: 9794508Abstract: A monitoring device is provided that includes a process condition setter that sets a target area on the monitored moving image according to a user's operation input. The device includes a stay information acquirer that observes a staying situation of a moving object appearing on the monitored moving image, and acquires stay information indicating the staying situation of the moving object. The device also includes a sub-image generator that generates the sub-image, and a sub-image arrangement controller that controls an arrangement position of the sub-image on the monitored moving image based on the acquired stay information. The device further includes an output controller that generates the monitoring moving image in which the sub-image is composed on the monitored moving image based on the arrangement position of the sub-image determined by the sub-image arrangement controller, and outputs the monitoring moving image on a display.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Youichi Gouda, Yuichi Matsumoto, Hiroaki Yoshio
