Abstract

A collation system of the present invention includes imaging means for acquiring a captured image of a pre-passage side area with respect to each of gates arranged in parallel with each other, and collation means for performing a collation process on the captured image of the pre-passage side area for each of the gates, between a previously registered target and a target included in the captured image. The collation means performs the collation process on the basis of a target in the captured image corresponding to one of the gates and a target in the captured image corresponding to another one of the gates.

Claims (22)

1. An information processing method performed by a computer and comprising:

acquiring a first captured image including a pre-passage side area with respect to a first gate at a first lane and a part of the pre-passage side area with respect to a second gate at a second lane adjacent to the first lane, wherein people move through the first lane to advance to the first gate and through the second lane to advance to the second gate;

acquiring a second captured image of the pre-passage side area with respect to the second gate at the second lane; and

when the first captured image includes a first person in a first area of the pre-passage side area with respect to the second gate, recognizing whether the first person in the first captured image is advancing toward the first gate, based on a comparison of the first person in the first captured image to a second person in a second area of the pre-passage area with respect to the second gate that is different from the first area.

2. The information processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

recognizing whether the person shown in the first captured image is advancing toward the first gate, based on a comparison of the first person located in an end area that is the first area in a horizontal direction in the first captured image and the second person located in a center area that is the second area in the horizontal direction in the second captured image.

3. An information processing device comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute instructions to perform processing comprising:

acquiring a first captured image including a pre-passage side area with respect to a first gate at a first lane and a part of the pre-passage side area with respect to a second gate at a second lane adjacent to the first lane, wherein people move through the first lane to advance to the first gate and through the second lane to advance to the second gate;

acquiring a second captured image of the pre-passage side area with respect to the second gate at the second lane; and

when the first captured image includes a first person in a first area of the pre-passage side area with respect to the second gate, recognizing whether the first person in the first captured image is advancing toward the first gate, based on a comparison of the first person in the first captured image to a second person in a second area of the pre-passage area with respect to the second gate that is different from the first area.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the processing further comprises:

recognizing whether the person shown in the first captured image is advancing toward the first gate, based on a comparison of the first person located in an end area that is the first area in a horizontal direction in the first captured image and the second person located in a center area that is the second area in the horizontal direction in the second captured image.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program executable by a computer to execute processing comprising:

acquiring a first captured image including a pre-passage side area with respect to a first gate at a first lane and a part of the pre-passage side area with respect to a second gate at a second lane adjacent to the first lane, wherein people move through the first lane to advance to the first gate and through the second lane to advance to the second gate;

acquiring a second captured image of the pre-passage side area with respect to the second gate at the second lane; and

when the first captured image includes a first person in a first area of the pre-passage side area with respect to the second gate, recognizing whether the first person in the first captured image is advancing toward the first gate, based on a comparison of the first person in the first captured image to a second person in a second area of the pre-passage area with respect to the second gate that is different from the first area.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium storing according to claim 5 , wherein the processing further comprises:

recognizing whether the person shown in the first captured image is advancing toward the first gate, based on a comparison of the first person located in an end area that is the first area in a horizontal direction in the first captured image and the second person located in a center area that is the second area in the horizontal direction in the second captured image.

7. The information processing method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first area in the first captured image and the second area in the second captured image are image areas showing an overlapping space in a real space.
