AREA MONITORING SYSTEM AND AREA MONITORING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18373314 titled 'AREA MONITORING SYSTEM AND AREA MONITORING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an area monitoring system that includes a sensor device, an analyzer, a manager, and a provider. The manager prompts the provider to offer information for maintenance when there is a significant deviation between the state of a road in an image captured by the sensor device and a predetermined reference image.
- Sensor device installed to capture images of monitoring target area
- Analyzer analyzes images captured by sensor device
- Manager manages situation of monitoring target area based on analysis results
- Provider offers information about monitoring target area
- Manager prompts provider to provide maintenance information when significant deviation in road state is detected
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various industries such as transportation, security, and infrastructure monitoring.
Problems Solved
The system helps in identifying deviations in the state of roads or monitoring target areas, allowing for timely maintenance and intervention.
Benefits
- Improved maintenance efficiency - Enhanced monitoring capabilities - Early detection of potential issues
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Maintenance Efficiency in Area Monitoring Systems"
Possible Prior Art
There may be similar systems or technologies that utilize image analysis for monitoring and maintenance purposes, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle different types of road conditions or monitoring target areas?
The abstract does not specify if the system is adaptable to various environments or if it is designed for specific types of areas.
What is the threshold value used to determine significant deviations in road state?
The abstract mentions a threshold value but does not specify the exact value or how it is determined.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an embodiment, an area monitoring system includes a sensor device installed at a position where a monitoring target area can be imaged, an analyzer configured to analyze an image captured by the sensor device, a manager configured to manage a situation of the monitoring target area on the basis of an analysis result of the analyzer, and a provider configured to provide information about the monitoring target area. The manager causes the provider to provide information for promoting maintenance regarding at least one of the monitoring target area or the sensor device when a degree of deviation between a state of a road included in the image and a state of the road based on a predetermined reference image of the sensor device is greater than or equal to a threshold value.
