Abstract

The present invention provides an image processing system, an image processing method, and a program capable of suppressing confusion that may arise in a case where a target person is identified when tracking a person. An image processing system includes: a camera control unit which accepts input video images captured by a plurality of video cameras; a tracked person registering unit capable of registering one or more persons appearing in the video images inputted from the camera control unit; and a display screen generating unit which displays switchable windows of the video images inputted from the video cameras for each person registered by the tracked person registering unit.

Claims

1. An image processing system comprising:

input means for accepting input video images captured by a plurality of video cameras;

registering means capable of registering one or more persons appearing in the video images inputted from the input means; and

display control means for displaying switchable windows of the video images inputted from the video cameras for each person registered by the registering means.

2. The image processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the display control means displays switchable windows of video images inputted from the video cameras in windows respectively associated with persons registered by the registering means.

3. The image processing system according to claim 2, wherein

the display control means prompts the windows to be switched to other windows when a person registered by the registering means is captured in the video images inputted from the video cameras.

4. The image processing system according to claim 2, wherein

the display control means prompts the windows to be switched to other windows when a person registered by the registering means is predicted to appear in the video images inputted from the video cameras.

5. The image processing system according to claim 2, wherein

a plurality of video images inputted from the input means are respectively arranged in the windows.

6. An image processing method implemented by an image processing system,

the method comprising the steps of:

accepting input video images captured by a plurality of video cameras;

registering one or more persons appearing in the inputted video images; and

displaying switchable windows of the video images inputted from the video cameras for each registered person.

7. A storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute the processes of:

accepting input video images captured by a plurality of video cameras;

registering one or more persons appearing in the inputted video images; and

displaying switchable windows of the video images inputted from the video cameras for each registered person.
