    Abstract: A position and pose determination unit (103) is configured to determine a position and an pose of the video acquisition unit (110) in such a way that a level of hiding caused by overlapping of objects becomes low based on environmental object information indicating an environmental object including a structural object present in the monitored area and a placed object placed in the structural object, and staying characteristic information indicating a staying characteristic of the object determined depending on the environmental object. The analysis and display unit (111) is configured to perform at least one of analyzing a video captured by the video acquisition unit (103) at the position and the pose determined by the position and pose determination unit (110) and displaying the video.

    Abstract: An evaluation apparatus (10) includes an acquisition unit (110), an index computation unit (120), and a suitability computation unit (140). The acquisition unit (110) acquires arrangement information and environmental information. The arrangement information indicates at least any of position, orientation and field angle of an image capturing apparatus. The environmental information indicates an environment of a target region. The index computation unit (120) computes a surveillance index by using the arrangement information and the environmental information, the surveillance index indicating difficulty or easiness of surveilling a target object. The suitability computation unit (140) computes suitability of arrangement of the image capturing apparatus indicated by the arrangement information, based on the distribution of the surveillance index in the target region.
