Abstract:
A monitoring system includes a plurality of entrance cameras that capture each of visitors from multiple different angles when the each of visitors enters a facility in which a plurality of intra-facility cameras are installed at respective prescribed positions, and a monitoring apparatus that accumulates visitor data which associates captured images of the each of visitors with identification information of the each of visitors, and monitors the each of visitors in the facility. The monitoring apparatus specifies one intra-facility camera installed at or near a position of detection of the abnormality as a near-abnormality-position intra-facility camera in response to a notice of detection of an abnormality in the facility, extracts one or more visitors found in a video captured by the near-abnormality-position intra-facility camera based on the visitor data; and employs the one or more visitors as security action target persons.
Abstract:
Sound collection directionality is formed toward a location corresponding to a position designated in a video of a predetermined region which is imaged by a camera apparatus with a microphone array apparatus as a reference, and audio data is collected with high accuracy. In a directionality control system (10), a signal processing unit (33) derives a sound collection direction (θMAh,θMAv) which is directed from an installation position of a microphone array apparatus (2) toward a sound position corresponding to a position designated in video data on a screen of the display device (36) in response to a user's designation of any position in the video data displayed on the screen. The signal processing unit (33) forms sound collection directionality of audio data in the derived sound collection direction (θMAh,θMAv).
