Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a tracking support system that uses multiple cameras to monitor a specific area. The system calculates the position of a target being tracked based on the video images captured by the cameras. It also selects a tracker to track the target based on the position information of the tracker and the calculated position of the target. During the tracking process, the system transmits information about the distance between the target and the tracker to the terminal carried by the selected tracker.


Original Abstract Submitted

A tracking support system includes a position calculating section connected with a plurality of cameras arranged in a predetermined monitoring area to transmit video images imaged by the plurality of cameras and configured to calculate a position of the tracking target based on the video images received from the plurality of cameras; a tracker selecting section configured to select a tracker to be instructed to track the tracking target, based on position information of the terminal received from the terminal and the calculated position of the tracking target; and an information transmitting section configured to transmit information of a distance between the tracking target and the terminal during the tracking of the tracking target to the terminal carried by the selected tracker.
