Change detecting method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A change detecting apparatus for detecting a change in an image based on image data of said image, said change detecting apparatus comprising:
- an input portion for inputting said image data obtained by an imaging apparatus;
a processing unit for processing said image data input from said input portion;
a storage for storing said image data,wherein said processing unit has an image data change detecting portion and a monitoring information output portion,wherein said storage has a monitoring schedule table and a plurality of image recognition region tables each having set therein at least one partial region of an image from said imaging apparatus as a to-be-image-recognized region,wherein said image data change detecting portion reads said image data from said storage, selects one of said plurality of image recognition region tables in accordance with said monitoring schedule table, and based on the selected image recognition region table, detects a change in a region of said image data corresponding to said to-be-image recognized region, andwherein said monitoring information output portion generates a signal representing said change in image data and outputs said signal to a detection result receiving unit which is connected to said change detecting apparatus;
an image recognition region setting screen,wherein said image recognition region setting screen includes a table name setting portion which sets table names of said plurality of image recognition region tables; and
a monitoring schedule setting screen,wherein said monitoring schedule setting screen includes an inputting field for allowing a user to set at least one of a plurality of image recognition region tables by using or displaying an identification.

Abstract
A change detecting method and apparatus constituted by an input portion for inputting image data obtained by imaging apparatus, a processing unit for processing the image data inputted from the input portion, and a storage for storing the image data. The processing unit has an image data change detecting portion, a monitoring information generating/transmitting portion. The storage has a monitoring schedule table. The image data change detecting portion reads the image data from the storage based on the monitoring schedule table, and detects a change in image data from the image data. The monitoring information generating/transmitting portion generates monitoring information based on a result of the detected change and outputs the monitoring information.

16. A change detecting method for detecting a change in an image based on image data, said change detecting method comprising the steps of:
-
storing in a storage a monitoring schedule table and a plurality of image recognition region tables each having set therein at least one partial region of an image from an imaging apparatus as a to-be-image-recognized region; providing an image recognition region setting screen, wherein said image recognition region setting screen includes a table name setting portion which sets table names of said plurality of image recognition region tables; providing a monitoring schedule setting screen, wherein said monitoring schedule setting screen includes an inputting field for allowing a user to set at least one of said plurality of image recognition region tables by using or displaying at least one of said table names or an identification thereof; inputting said image data obtained by said imaging apparatus; processing said image data having been input; storing said image data in a storage; reading said image data from said storage, selecting one of said plurality of image recognition region tables in accordance with said monitoring schedule table, and based on the selected image recognition region table, detecting a change in a region of said image data corresponding to said to-be-image-recognized region; and generating a signal representing said change in said region and outputting said signal.
