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.

Claims (27)

1. A monitoring camera, comprising:

a capturing unit;

a memory configured to store a plurality of different learning models relating to a detection target, each learning model of the plurality of different learning models respectively corresponding to a different detection target type, wherein the memory is further configured to store a user-designated learning model from the plurality of different learning models; and

a processor configured to implement an artificial intelligence based on a learning model selected among the plurality of different learning models and to detect the 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 processor, in response to a designation from a terminal device,

selects the learning model among the plurality of different learning models from the memory, and

implements the artificial intelligence based on the selected learning model.

3. The monitoring camera according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor implements the artificial intelligence based on a learning model set at the time of previous startup among the plurality of different learning models stored in the memory.

4. The monitoring camera according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor implements the artificial intelligence based on a learning model initially set among the plurality of different learning models stored in the memory.

5. The monitoring camera according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an interface configured to receive the learning model from an external storage medium storing the learning model.

6. The monitoring camera according to claim 5 ,

wherein the external storage medium is a USB memory.

7. A monitoring camera system, comprising:

a monitoring camera; and

a server computer communicably connected the monitoring camera,

wherein the server computer stores a plurality of different learning models relating to a detection target which is detected by the monitoring camera, each learning model of the plurality of different learning models respectively corresponding to a different detection target type,

wherein the monitoring camera has a capturing unit; and

a processor configured to implement an artificial intelligence based on a learning model received from the server computer and to detect the detection target from a captured image by the capturing unit based on the artificial intelligence, and

wherein the monitoring camera is configured to accept a user-designated learning model from the plurality of different learning models stored in the server computer.

8. A detection method, comprising:

selecting a user-designated learning model from a memory storing a plurality of different learning models relating to a detection target, each learning model of the plurality of different learning models respectively corresponding to a different detection target type;

implementing an artificial intelligence based on the selected learning model; and

detecting the detection target from a captured image by a capturing unit based on the artificial intelligence.
