METADATA AUTOMATIC APPLYING DEVICE TO IMAGE AREA, METADATA AUTOMATIC APPLICATION METHOD AND METADATA AUTOMATIC APPLICATION PROGRAM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately apply metadata, containing peculiar information or property information obtained from an RF tag, to a mobile image area obtained through image processing, even when antenna performance is deteriorated due to the influences of a multi-path or phasing, etc. PSOLUTION: The image area, which is photographed by a video camera 20 and is occupied by the mobile, is detected by a mobile detector 12, and an electric wave is controlled to radiate from a directional antenna 31 in the direction of the mobile by an antenna direction controller 14. Information of an RF tag 33, mounted on the mobile, is read by an RF tag reader/writer 30, the information of the RF tag is coupled with the image area of the mobile from the direction of the mobile detected from an image and a direction, having a strong electric wave intensity obtained from the RF tag 33, and metadata, corresponding to the information obtained from the RF tag 33, is automatically given to the image area.
