Abstract

A monitoring camera having artificial intelligence includes an imaging unit, a communication unit that receives a parameter relating to a detection target from a terminal device, and a processing unit that constructs the artificial intelligence based on the parameter, and uses the constructed artificial intelligence to detect the detection target from an image captured by the imaging unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A monitoring camera including an artificial intelligence, comprising:
a capturing unit;
a transceiver that is configured to receive a plurality of different learning models from a terminal, each learning model of the plurality of different learning models respectively corresponding to a different detection target type, wherein the terminal is configured to accept a user-designated learning model from the plurality of different learning models; and
a processor that is configured to implement the artificial intelligence based on the designated learning model and detect a detection target from a captured image by the capturing unit based on the artificial intelligence.

2. The monitoring camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein the designated learning model is generated based on the captured image by the capturing unit.

3. The monitoring camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor
determines whether or not an alarm condition is satisfied based on a detection result of the detection target, and
outputs alarm information to an alarm or the terminal when the alarm condition is satisfied.

4. The monitoring camera according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a learning model receiver configured to receive the designated learning model from an external storage medium storing the designated learning model.

5. A detection method of a monitoring camera including artificial intelligence, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of different learning models from a terminal, each learning model of the plurality of different learning models respectively corresponding to a different detection target type, wherein the terminal accepts a user-designated learning model from the plurality of different learning models;
implementing the artificial intelligence based on the designated learning model; and
detecting a detection target from a captured image by a capturing unit based on the artificial intelligence.
