Abstract

According to the present invention, there is provided an information processing apparatus ( 10 ) including: an obtainment unit ( 12 ) which obtains a reference image; an extraction unit ( 13 ) which extracts, from a storage unit ( 11 ) which stores a provision image generated by a plurality of provision-image generation cameras installed in a facility, the provision image including a person included in the reference image; and a display control unit ( 14 ) which causes a display to display the provision image extracted by the extraction unit ( 13 ).

Claims (42)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

at least one memory configured to store one or more instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

obtain a first image captured by a first camera, the first image including a plurality of faces of a plurality of persons;

extract, from a plurality of second images captured by one or more second cameras installed in a facility, a second image including at least two persons of the plurality of persons in the first image; and

cause a display to display the second image including the at least two persons of the plurality of persons in the first images.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 :

wherein the at least one processor further configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

store the plurality of the second images in a storage.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to, in a case where the first image includes the plurality of faces each with a predetermined size or larger, display the second image including the at least two persons included in the first image with the predetermined size or larger.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to obtain an image generated by the first camera which images a periphery of the display, as the first image.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

cause the display to display an image captured by the first camera or cause a display apparatus including the display to function as a mirror while a predetermined condition is not satisfied, and

cause the display to display the extracted second image when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

store the second image in association with an imaging date and time and an imaging position,

obtain position information of a specific person included in the second image in the facility and time information corresponding to the position information, and

exclude the second image from an object to be displayed as an image including the specific person in a case where an imaging date and time and an imaging position do not satisfy a predetermined condition in relation to the position information and the time information.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to obtain an imaging date and time and an imaging position of the second image including a person having a similarity with the specific person included in the first image equal to or higher than a predetermined level, as the position information and the time information for the specific person.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

store one or a plurality of pieces of identification information obtained by a wireless communication apparatus which is installed in a periphery of each of the one or more second cameras and obtain the identification information from one or a plurality of electronic tags or portable terminals of which a positional relationship satisfies a predetermined condition, in association with the second image generated within a predetermined time from a date and time when the identification information is obtained,

obtain an image generated by the first camera which images a periphery of the display, as the first image,

obtain the one or the plurality of pieces of the identification information obtained by a wireless communication apparatus which is installed in a periphery of the first camera and obtain the identification information from the one or the plurality of electronic tags or portable terminals of which a positional relationship satisfies a predetermined condition, and

cause the display to display the second image including a person included in the first image and being associated with the obtained identification information.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to, in a case where M persons (M is equal to or more than one) are included in the first image and N (N is equal to or more than one) pieces of the identification information are obtained, cause the display to display the second image including at least one person among the M persons and being associated with at least one of the N pieces of the identification information.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to, in a case where a plurality of persons having predetermined sizes or larger are included in the first image and N (N is equal to or more than one) pieces of the identification information are obtained, cause the display to display the second image including all of the plurality of persons having the predetermined sizes or larger included in the first image and being associated with at least one of the N pieces of the identification information.

11. An information processing method executed by a computer, the method comprising:

obtaining a first image captured by a first camera, the first image including a plurality of faces of a plurality of persons;

extracting, from a plurality of second images captured by one or more second cameras installed in a facility, a second image including at least two persons of the plurality of persons in the first image; and

causing a display to display the second image including the at least two persons of the plurality of persons in the first image in one image.

12. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer to:

obtain a first image captured by a first camera, the first image including a plurality of faces of a plurality of persons;

extracting, from a plurality of second images captured by one or more second cameras installed in a facility, a second image including at least two persons of the plurality of persons in the first image; and

cause a display to display the second image including the at least two persons of the plurality of persons in the first image in one image.
