This invention discloses a crime prevention
system, a crime prevention method, and a computer-readable recording medium. It identifies suspicious behavior of individuals captured by surveillance cameras. The crime prevention
system monitors the behavior of individuals contained in multiple camera images captured sequentially over time by the surveillance cameras. The
system detects individual regions within each of the multiple camera images and performs tracking
processing to identify individuals within the multiple camera images based on the individual image data contained in those regions over time. Furthermore, if the tracking
processing fails midway, individuals deemed to be engaging in suspicious behavior are identified within the camera images. In cases where suspicious behavior is determined, an
alarm message can be sent from an
output device.
