Abstract

A vehicle monitoring system includes at least one camera, and a server that is communicably connected to a client terminal. The camera performs capturing a vehicle while switching a first capturing condition including an image parameter for capturing a number of the vehicle entering an angle of view of the camera and a second capturing condition including an image parameter for capturing an occupant's face of the vehicle, and transmits a first captured video under the first capturing condition and a second captured video under the second capturing condition to the server. The server arranges reproduction screens for the first captured video and the second captured video that are reproduceable in the client terminal and displays the reproduction screens on the client terminal based on the first captured video and the second captured video.

Claims (32)

1. A vehicle monitoring system comprising:

a server that is communicably connected to at least one camera; and

a client terminal that is communicably connected to the server,

wherein the server

stores a collation list used for collating a license plate,

receives a first video data from the camera, the first video data being captured under a first capturing condition including a first parameter for capturing a license plate provided on a vehicle entering an angle of view of the camera, and

acquires a license plate collation result of the vehicle based on the collation list and the first video data, and

wherein the client terminal

sends, to the server, a search condition of a license plate based on a user operation,

displays, on a display, a list of license plate search results which satisfy the search condition,

in response to selection of at least one of the license plate search results based on the user operation, displays, on the display, detail information of a selected license plate corresponding to the at least one of the license plate search results, and

displays, on the display, a license plate image in which an entire of a vehicle corresponding to the selected license plate is appearing as the detail information of the selected license plate.

2. The vehicle monitoring system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the client terminal further displays an attribute information including a cut-off image obtained by cutting off the selected license plate in the license plate image.

3. The vehicle monitoring system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the attribute information further includes a text data corresponding to a readout result of the selected license plate, a country name, a color of the selected license plate and a score.

4. The vehicle monitoring system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the client terminal displays a movie viewer icon of the vehicle corresponding to the selected license plate as the detail information of the selected license plate.

5. The vehicle monitoring system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the server

receives a second video data from the camera, the second video data being captured under a second capturing condition including a second parameter for capturing a face of an occupant riding in a vehicle entering the angle of the camera, and

wherein the client terminal

in response to selection of the movie viewer icon based on the user operation, displays a reproduction screen of the first video data and a reproduction screen of the second video data, the first video data and the second video data in which the vehicle corresponding to the selected license plate captured at substantially same time by the camera appears.

6. The vehicle monitoring system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the client terminal displays the reproduction screen of the first video data and the reproduction screen of the second video data in a row.

7. A vehicle monitoring method comprising:

acquiring a collation list used for collating a license plate;

receiving a first video data from the camera, the first video data being captured under a first capturing condition including a first parameter for capturing a license plate provided on a vehicle entering an angle of view of at least one camera;

acquiring a license plate collation result of the vehicle based on the collation list and the first video data;

displaying, on a display, a list of license plate search results which satisfy a search condition of a license plate based on a user operation;

in response to selection of at least one of the license plate search results based on the user operation, displaying, on the display, detail information of a selected license plate corresponding to the at least one of the license plate search results; and

displaying, on the display, a license plate image in which an entire of a vehicle corresponding to the selected license plate is appearing as the detail information of the selected license plate.
