  • Publication number: 20240104931
    Abstract: A road surveillance system includes a video acquisition unit, a target determination unit, and a display control unit. The video acquisition unit acquires a video that captures a road. The target determination unit determines, based on a result of comparison between at least one frame image constituting the video and a reference image, and a first criterion, whether the at least one frame image is an analysis target. The display control unit causes a display unit to display information based on a result of the determination. The display control unit includes a first control unit and a second control unit. The first control unit causes the display unit to display an analysis result of at least one frame image being determined to be an analysis target. The second control unit causes the display unit to display detection information indicating that a frame image not being an analysis target is detected.
