Tracking support device, tracking support system and tracking support method

摘要

A tracking support device for assisting a supervising person to perform a task of tracking a moving object to be tracked by displaying a monitor screen in which a plurality of display views (43a-43d) for displaying real-time captured images of respective ones Cameras (1a-1d) are arranged in a plan image (41), which represents a monitored area in accordance with an actual arrangement of the cameras (1a-1d), on a display device (7), comprising: 23) for a target to be tracked, which, in response to an input operation performed by the supervising person on one of the display views (43a - 43d) for designating a moving object to be tracked, sets the designated moving object as a target to be tracked; a goal tracking unit (33) based on tracking information obtained by processing the captured images indicating the moving object set as the target to be pursued in each of the display views (43a - 43d) in which the moving object set as the target to be pursued , a prediction unit (24) which, based on the tracking information, predicts a next display view in which the moving object set as the target to be tracked will appear next; anda display view recognizing unit (32) indicative of the next display view predicted by the prediction unit (24) on the monitor screen, the target tracking information unit (33) providing a first highlight for highlighting a moving object frame (48); which is connected to the moving object set as the target to be followed, and the display view recognition unit (32) has a second highlight for highlighting a display frame (46) associated with the next display view selected by the prediction unit (24 ), characterized by a control unit (25) which, in a state in which a moving object is set as the target to be tracked, causes the tracking target setting unit (23) to perform processing for changing the target moving object set as the target to be tracked when the supervising person noticing that the target to be tracked is incorrectly executed by the targeting identification unit performs an input operation, wherein when a moving object is redone by the target tracking target setting unit (23) the target to be followed is set, the display visualization unit (32) provides a third highlight for a display view in which the moving object peculiar to the target to be tracked appears current, so that the display view is distinguishable from the other display views.
