Abstract

Provided are an information processing system, an information processing method and a program that can detect probability whether individuals contacted or not outside the imaging ranges of surveillance cameras. The invention includes: an image receiving unit that receives input of images captured by a plurality of imaging apparatuses including a first surveillance camera and a second surveillance camera; and a list generating unit that outputs information on two individuals when each of the two individuals satisfies the conditions of a moment of disappearing from the frame of an image of one of the surveillance cameras, and a moment of appearing in the frame of an image of the other one of the surveillance cameras.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing system, comprising:
an input device that receives input of images captured by a plurality of imaging apparatuses including a first imaging apparatus and a second imaging apparatus: and
an output device that outputs information on two individuals when each of the two individuals satisfies conditions of a moment of disappearing from the frame of an image of one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus and a moment of appearing in the frame of an image of the other one of the imaging apparatuses.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the output device outputs the information on the two individuals when the difference, between the later of the moments when the two individuals disappeared from the frame of an image of one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus and the earlier of the moments when the two individuals appeared in the frame of an image of the other one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus, is a threshold or more.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein
when there are a plurality of combinations of the two individuals, the difference of which is the threshold or more, the output device outputs information on the combinations in descending order of a value of the difference.

4. The information processing system according to any one of claim 1 , further comprising a determination unit device that determines whether the individual in the image captured by the first imaging apparatus and the individual in the image captured by the second imaging apparatus are the same individual.

5. An information processing method for an information processing system,
the method comprising:
capturing images, by a plurality of image apparatuses, images including a first imaging apparatus and a second imaging apparatus;
determining by a processor of a computing device whether each of two individuals satisfies a condition of a moment of disappearing from a frame of an image of one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus, and a moment of appearing in a frame of an image of another of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus; and
in response to determining that each of the two individuals satisfies the condition, outputting by the processor information regarding the two individuals.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stored a computer program, the program for a computer to execute:
processing to receive input of images captured by a plurality of imaging apparatuses, including a first imaging apparatus and a second imaging apparatus; and
processing to output information on two individuals when each of the two individuals satisfies the conditions of a moment of disappearing from the frame of an image of one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus and a moment of appearing in the frame of an image of the other one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus.
