Imaging processing system and method and management apparatus
First Claim
1. A control apparatus for controlling one or more image capturing apparatuses, the control apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to;
identify an imaging object which enters an imageable area of the one or more image capturing apparatuses;
store, in a storage, identification of the imaging object which enters the imageable area of the one or more image capturing apparatuses;
determine at a determination time according to a time when the imaging object enters the imageable area, based on the identification of the imaging object which has been stored in the storage when the imaging object has entered the imageable area prior to the determination time, whether the imaging object which enters the imageable area is tracked by the one or more image capturing apparatuses;
compare a tracking object upper limit number with a number of tracking objects already tracked;
determine, if the tracking object upper limit number is greater than the number of tracking objects already tracked, the imaging object as a tracking object; and
determine, if the tracking object upper limit number is equal to the number of tracking objects already tracked, the imaging object as a tracking object, instead of one of the tracking objects already tracked.

Abstract
An imaging processing system includes one or more image capturing apparatuses, a reading unit configured to read biometric information from an authentication object person, a similarity calculation unit configured to calculate similarity based on a result of comparing biometric information read by the reading unit with true biometric information of the authentication object person, an authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on a comparison between the similarity calculated by the similarity calculation unit and a preliminarily set threshold, and a control unit configured to control, if the authentication performed by the authentication unit is successful, imaging processing, which is performed by the image capturing apparatus, based on the similarity calculated by the similarity calculation unit.

5. A method for controlling one or more image capturing apparatuses, the method comprising:
-
identifying an imaging object which enters an imageable area of the one or more image capturing apparatuses; storing, in a storage, identification of the imaging object which enters the imageable area of the one or more image capturing apparatuses; determining at a determination time according to a time when the imaging object enters the imageable area, based on the identification of the imaging object which has been stored in the storage when the imaging object has entered the imageable area prior to the determination time, whether the imaging object which enters the imageable area is tracked by the one or more image capturing apparatuses; comparing a tracking object upper limit number with a number of tracking objects already tracked; determining, if the tracking object upper limit number is greater than the number of tracking objects already tracked, the imaging object as a tracking object; and determining, if the tracking object upper limit number is equal to the number of tracking objects already tracked, the imaging object as a tracking object, instead of one of the tracking objects already tracked. - View Dependent Claims (7, 10, 11)

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing computer-executable instructions for controlling one or more image capturing apparatuses, the medium comprising:
-
computer-executable instructions for identifying an imaging object which enters an imageable area of the one or more image capturing apparatuses; computer-executable instructions for storing, in a storage, identification of the imaging object which enters the imageable area of the one or more image capturing apparatuses; computer-executable instructions for determining at a determination time according to a time when the imaging object enters the imageable area, based on the identification of the imaging object which has been stored in the storage when the imaging object has entered the imageable area prior to the determination time, whether the imaging object which enters the imageable area is tracked by the one or more image capturing apparatuses; computer-executable instructions for comparing a tracking object upper limit number with a number of tracking objects already tracked; computer-executable instructions for determining, if the tracking object upper limit number is greater than the number of tracking objects already tracked, the imaging object as a tracking object; and computer-executable instructions for determining, if the tracking object upper limit number is equal to the number of tracking objects already tracked, the imaging object as a tracking object, instead of one of the tracking objects already tracked. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 12)
