Systems and methods for displaying captured videos of persons similar to a search target person
When captured videos transmitted from a n number of cameras are received, a server analyzes position information and characteristic information on a person appearing in each of captured videos as analysis results. A client terminal displays, on a screen, each of the captured videos of a k number of cameras that are selected by a user operation. According to a selection of a search target person, the client terminal transmits, to the server, a search request for the search target person in a (k−1) number of captured videos other than the captured video in which the search target person appears. The server extracts the search target person and transmits the analysis result to the client terminal. The client terminal displays cut-out images of one or more persons identical with or similar to the search target person based on the analysis result.

according to at least one selection from the characteristic information regarding an appearance of a search target person, the client terminal transmits, to the server, a search request for the search target person satisfying selected characteristic information in the k number of captured videos,
the server uses the analysis results to extract an analysis result regarding the search target person satisfying the selected characteristic information in the k number of captured videos and transmits the analysis result to the client terminal in response to the search request,
the client terminal aligns and displays, on the screen, cut-out images of one or more persons identical with or similar to the search target person based on the analysis result regarding the search target person, and
the client terminal displays, on the reproduction area of the screen and in response to a selection of one cut-out-image from the cut-out images, a first captured video of the captured videos of the k number of cameras, the first captured video corresponding to the one cut-out-image, the client terminal simultaneously displaying, with the first captured video, at least two second captured videos of the captured videos of the k number of cameras, each of the at least two second captured videos being displayed on the map data in association with a corresponding one of the points where the k number of cameras are located, and
the at least two second captured videos, which are simultaneously displayed with the first captured video, are captured at a same time.
2. The person search system according to claim 1 , wherein
the client terminal displays, on the screen, movement paths of the one or more persons identical with or similar to the search target person to overlap the map data based on the analysis result regarding the search target person.
3. The person search system according to claim 2 , wherein
the client terminal updates and displays the movement paths of the one or more persons identical with or similar to the search target person displayed on the map data according to a second user operation for deleting at least one cut-out image of the cut-out images of the one or more persons.
4. The person search system according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one selection from the characteristic information regarding the appearance of the search target person includes at least one of sex, age, height, body shape, or decoration of a person.
5. The person search system according to claim 1 , wherein
the client terminal chronologically aligns and displays the cut-out images of the one or more persons identical with or similar to the search target person in order of capturing times at which the one or more persons are captured.
6. The person search system according to claim 1 , wherein
the client terminal aligns and displays the cut-out images of the one or more persons identical with or similar to the search target person in order from a highest similarity to the search target person.
7. The person search system according to claim 1 , wherein the client terminal further displays, on the screen, an image of the search target person, which is set according to the at least one selection of the characteristic information, so that the search target person is visually verifiable.
8. The person search system according to claim 7 , wherein the image of the search target is displayed on the screen together with the captured videos of the k number of cameras.
9. The person search system according to claim 8 , wherein the client terminal further displays, on the screen and in association with the image of the search target person, the selected characteristic information.
10. The person search system according to claim 8 , wherein
the characteristic information from which the at least one selection is made includes physical characteristics and decoration characteristics, and
the client terminal further displays, on the screen and in association with the image of the search target person, only selected physical characteristics from among the selected characteristic information and not selected decoration characteristics.
11. The person search system according to claim 1 , wherein the server stores the analysis results, which are accumulated from the position information and the characteristic information on the person appearing in each of the captured videos, in a database.
12. The person search system according to claim 11 , wherein the analysis results are stored in the database before the search request for the search target person is received from the client terminal.
13. The person search system according to claim 1 , wherein the client terminal aligns and displays the cut-out images of the one or more persons identical with or similar to the search target person according to intersections where the k number of cameras are installed.
14. A person search method implemented by a server, the server connected to communicate with each of an n number of cameras, where n is an integer of at least 3, and a client terminal connected to communicate with the server, the person search method comprising:
receiving captured videos transmitted from the n number of cameras, analyzing position information and characteristic information on a person appearing in each of the captured videos, and accumulating the position information and the characteristic information as analysis results;
displaying, on a reproduction area of a screen, each of captured videos of a k number of cameras, where k is an integer of at least 3 that satisfies k≤n, and the k number of cameras are selected from the n number of cameras by a user operation, and simultaneously displaying, with the captured videos of the k number of cameras, map data on the screen, the map data indicating points where the k number of cameras are located;
according to at least one selection from the characteristic information regarding an appearance of a search target person, transmitting, to the server, a search request for the search target person satisfying selected characteristic information in the k number of captured videos;
using the analysis results to extract an analysis result regarding the search target person satisfying the selected characteristic information in the k number of captured videos and transmitting the extracted analysis result to the client terminal in response to the search request;
