Systems, methods and apparatuses for tracking persons by processing images
The present invention provides an image processing system, an image processing method, and a program capable of suppressing confusion that may arise in a case where a target person is identified when tracking a person. An image processing system includes: a camera control unit which accepts input video images captured by a plurality of video cameras; a tracked person registering unit capable of registering one or more persons appearing in the video images inputted from the camera control unit; and a display screen generating unit which displays switchable windows of the video images inputted from the video cameras for each person registered by the tracked person registering unit.
1. An image processing system comprising:
a non-transitory storage device storing instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
accept input video images captured by a plurality of video cameras;
register a plurality of persons appearing in the input video images;
display a first window and a plurality of tabs;
assign the plurality of tabs to respective registered persons; and
switch, without a user operation of the tabs, the first window to a second window, in response to a second assigned person being predicated to appear in the input video images, wherein:
the first window is associated with a first assigned person and contains a plurality of video images in which the first assigned person is predicted to appear, and
the second window is associated with the second assigned person and contains a plurality of video images in which the second assigned person is predicted to appear.
2. The image processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to:
prompt the first window to be switched to the second window when the second assigned person is captured in the video images input from the video cameras.
3. The image processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to:
generate a prompt indicating that the first window is to be switched to the second window, in response to the second assigned person being predicted to appear in the video images input from the video cameras.
4. The image processing system according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of input video images are respectively arranged in the first and second windows.
5. An image processing method implemented by an image processing system, the method comprising:
accepting input video images captured by a plurality of video cameras;
registering one or more persons appearing in the input video images;
displaying a first window and a plurality of tabs;
assigning the plurality of tabs to respective registered persons; and
switching, without a user operation of the tabs, the first window to a second window, in response to a second assigned person being predicated to appear in the input video images, wherein:
the first window is associated with a first assigned person and contains a plurality of video images in which the first assigned person is predicted to appear, and
the second window is associated with the second assigned person and contains a plurality of video images in which the second assigned person is predicted to appear.
6. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program, when executed, causing a computer to:
accept input video images captured by a plurality of video cameras;
register one or more persons appearing in the input video images; and
display a first window and a plurality of tabs;
assign the plurality of tabs to respective registered persons; and
switch, without a user operation of the tabs, the first window to a second window, in response to a second assigned person being predicated to appear in the input video images, wherein:
the first window is associated with a first assigned person and contains a plurality of video images in which the first assigned person is predicted to appear, and
the second window is associated with the second assigned person and contains a plurality of video images in which the second assigned person is predicted to appear.
7. The image processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the prompting includes at least one of changing a color of the respective tab, blinking the respective tab, or flashing the respective tab.
8. The image processing system according to claim 3 , wherein the prompt includes at least one of changing a color of the respective tab, blinking the respective tab, or flashing the respective tab.
9. The image processing method according to claim 5 , the method further comprising:
prompting the first window to be switched to the second window when the second assigned person is captured in the video images input from the video cameras.
10. The image processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the prompting includes at least one of changing a color of the respective tab, blinking the respective tab, or flashing the respective tab.
11. The image processing method according to claim 5 , the method further comprising:
generating a prompt indicating that the first window is to be switched to the second window, in response to the second assigned person being predicted to appear in the video images input from the video cameras.
12. The image processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the prompt includes at least one of changing a color of the respective tab, blinking the respective tab, or flashing the respective tab.
13. The image processing method according to claim 5 , wherein a plurality of input video images are respectively arranged in the first and second windows.
14. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 6 , further causing a computer to:
prompt the first window to be switched to the second window when the second assigned person is captured in the video images input from the video cameras.
15. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 14 , wherein the prompting includes at least one of changing a color of the respective tab, blinking the respective tab, or flashing the respective tab.
16. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 6 , further causing a computer to:
generate a prompt indicating that the first window is to be switched to the second window, in response to the second assigned person being predicted to appear in the video images input from the video cameras.
17. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the prompt includes at least one of changing a color of the respective tab, blinking the respective tab, or flashing the respective tab.
18. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 6 , wherein a plurality of input video images are respectively arranged in the first and second windows.
