Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information processing apparatus includes: an object detection unit to detect an object included in a frame image based on a feature amount of the frame image, and generate and output object information concerning the detected object; an event detection unit to detect an event of the object based on the object information output by the object detection unit, and generate and output event concern information concerning the detected event of the object; and a transmission unit to transmit the frame image, the event concern information, concerning the frame image, output by the event detection unit, and time information concerning the frame image, as associating them with others. Thus, even in a case where event detection timing and event occurrence timing are different from each other, it is possible to perform a display by which a user can easily confirm the event.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image pickup apparatus comprising: an object detection unit configured to detect an object included in a frame image of video data on the basis of a feature amount of the frame image; an event detection unit configured to detect a misplacement event of the object based on an activity state and an existing time of the object, and to generate event information including the existing time of the object and an identifier of the frame image in which the misp…
