AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system effectively reduces data transmission size while maintaining image quality for surveillance and service support, enabling clear image matching and monitoring, thus addressing blind spots and compression artifacts.

Problems solved by technology

However, as blind spots often occur with only fixed surveillance cameras.
Using some high-compression encoding schemes, however, the encoded image data may include compressive artifacts or the like, and it may be impossible to obtain clear image data required to support services.

embodiment 1

[0035]FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating one example of the whole image processing system configuration, in accordance with a first exemplary embodiment.

[0036]The image processing system includes a first surveillance information terminal unit 1 and a first surveillance server unit 2. The first surveillance information terminal unit 1 and the first surveillance server unit 2 may be connected with each other through a wired or wireless communication channel C1.

[0037]As illustrated in FIG. 1, the first surveillance information terminal unit 1 may include a camera unit 11, an image processing A unit 12, an image accumulation unit 13 and a transmission / reception unit 14.

[0038]In some aspects, the camera unit 11 captures image data A11 and inputs to the image processing A unit 12.

[0039]In an instance where an object is included in image data A11, the image processing A unit 12 may detect an object region including the object on the basis of a predetermined detection parameter. The predeterm...

embodiment 2

[0074]FIG. 5 is a diagram of a whole image processing system configuration, in accordance with a second exemplary embodiment. The image processing system of FIG. 5 may include a second surveillance information terminal unit 3 and a second surveillance server unit 4. Additionally, the image processing system may include the first surveillance server unit 2, as described above.

[0075]The second surveillance information terminal unit 3 and the second surveillance server unit 4 (and additionally or alternatively, the first surveillance server unit 2) may communicate across wired or wireless communication channel C1. As described below in reference to FIG. 5, the second surveillance information terminal unit 3 and the second surveillance server unit 4 may be connected with each other through the communication channel C1.

[0076]In an embodiment, the second surveillance information terminal unit 3 includes a camera unit 11, an image processing A unit 12, an image accumulation unit 13, a tran...

embodiment 3

[0088]FIG. 7 illustrates a configuration of an exemplary image processing system, in accordance with a third embodiment. The image processing system of FIG. 7 includes a third surveillance information terminal unit 5 and the second surveillance server unit 4.

[0089]As described below in reference to FIG. 7, the third surveillance information terminal unit 5 and the second surveillance server unit 4 may be connected with each other through wired or wireless communication channel C1. Further, although not depicted in FIG. 7, the exemplary image processing system may also couple a first surveillance server unit 2 (e.g., as described above in reference to FIG. 5) to the third surveillance information terminal unit 5 across communications channel C1, either alone or in conjunction with the second surveillance server unit 4.

[0090]As illustrated in FIG. 7, the third surveillance information terminal unit 5 may include a camera unit 11, an image processing A unit 12, an image accumulation un...

Abstract

The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented devices, systems, and methods that support image processing services. In an embodiment, a server may match a partial image received from a terminal with stored candidate image in the memory, and upon identification of a match, transmit information identifying the matched candidate image to the terminal.

Description

[0001]This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-070719, filed on Mar. 31, 2014, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The present disclosure generally relates to an image processing technology.Description of the Related Art[0003]In recent years, surveillance cameras have been set up everywhere for a crime prevention effect and for checking the situation upon occurrence of a crime. However, as blind spots often occur with only fixed surveillance cameras. In some instances, a wearable surveillance camera system may supplement a fixed surveillance camera to improve visibility and reduce the occurrence of blind spots.[0004]For example, in some systems, a direction and / or position of a wearable surveillance camera may be controlled flexibly according to wearer's movement. Further, in certain system, a surveillance camera may apply a high-compression encod...
