Abstract

There is provided a method including instructing a notification apparatus to issue a notification in a case where a video image capturing an entrance of a specific location includes an unregistered person moving toward the specific location, and deactivating the notification by the notification apparatus in a case where a video image capturing the specific location includes a pre-registered person.

Claims (38)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

one or more memories storing instructions; and

one or more processors executing the instructions to:

acquire a first video image capturing an entrance of a specific location and a second video image capturing inside of the specific location;

detect a first person included in the first video image and a second person included in the second video image;

determine whether each of the first person and the second person is a registered person or an unregistered person;

instruct a notification apparatus to issue a notification in a case where the first person included in the first video image is determined to be an unregistered person; and

instruct the notification apparatus to stop the notification in a case where the second person included in the second video image is determined to be a registered person;

generate an entry record of a person entering the specific location based on the first video image; and

modify the entry record based on the second video image in a case where the first person included in the first video image is determined not to be a registered person and the notification apparatus has stopped the notification.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the notification apparatus does not issue the notification in a case where a person who is a registered person and a person who is an unregistered person are detected in the first video image in a predetermined time period.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein each person who is a registered person belongs to one of a plurality of groups each having a different one of permission conditions for entering the specific location, and

wherein, in a case where the first video image includes a person who is a registered person belonging to a group not satisfying at least one of the permission conditions the notification apparatus issues the notification.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the notification apparatus does not issue the notification, in a case where the first video image includes a person who is an unregistered person within a predetermined time since the notification apparatus has stopped the notification.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the instructions further cause the information processing apparatus to:

generate an exit record of a person from the specific location based on the first video image, and

modify the exit record based on the first video image, in a case where the first video image does not include a person who is a registered person exiting the specific location after the exit record is generated.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first person and the second person is determined to be a registered person or an unregistered person on a basis of a comparison between a feature amount of a face of the first person and a feature amount of each registered person in a plurality of registered persons, and a comparison between a feature amount of a face of the second person and a feature amount of each registered person in the plurality of registered persons.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein an imaging apparatus which acquires the first video image is different from an imaging apparatus which acquires the second video image.

8. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring a first video image capturing an entrance of a specific location and a second video image capturing inside of the specific location;

detecting a first person included in the first video image and a second person included in the second video image;

determining whether each of the first person and the second person is a registered person or an unregistered person;

instructing a notification apparatus to issue a notification in a case where the first person included in the first video image is determined to be an unregistered person;

instructing the notification apparatus to stop the notification in a case where the second person included in the second video image is determined to be a registered person;

generating an entry record of a person entering the specific location based on the first video image; and

modifying the entry record based on the second video image in a case where the first person included in the first video image is determined not to be a registered person and the notification apparatus has stopped the notification.

9. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute an information processing method, the information processing method comprising:

acquiring a first video image capturing an entrance of a specific location and a second video image capturing inside of the specific location;

detecting a first person included in the first video image and a second person included in the second video image;

determining whether each of the first person and the second person is a registered person or an unregistered person;

instructing a notification apparatus to issue a notification in a case where the first person included in the first video image is determined to be an unregistered person;

instructing the notification apparatus to stop the notification in a case where the second person included in the second video image is determined to be a registered person;

generating an entry record of a person entering the specific location based on the first video image; and

modifying the entry record based on the second video image in a case where the first person included in the first video image is determined not to be a registered person and the notification apparatus has stopped the notification.
