EVALUATION APPARATUS, EVALUATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18581471 titled 'EVALUATION APPARATUS, EVALUATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

The evaluation apparatus described in the abstract includes units for acquiring arrangement information and environmental information, computing a surveillance index, and determining the suitability of the arrangement of an image capturing apparatus.

  • The acquisition unit gathers arrangement information (such as position, orientation, and field angle) and environmental information related to a target region.
  • The index computation unit calculates a surveillance index based on the arrangement and environmental information, indicating the difficulty or ease of surveilling a target object.
  • The suitability computation unit evaluates the suitability of the arrangement of the image capturing apparatus in the target region based on the distribution of the surveillance index.

Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Security cameras - Monitoring equipment

Problems Solved: - Enhancing surveillance efficiency - Optimizing camera placement for better coverage

Benefits: - Improved surveillance accuracy - Enhanced security measures - Cost-effective surveillance solutions

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Surveillance Systems with Intelligent Arrangement Evaluation" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as: - Security companies - Government agencies - Retail stores

Prior Art: Researchers can explore prior patents related to surveillance systems, camera placement optimization, and intelligent monitoring technologies.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in surveillance technology, artificial intelligence in monitoring, and smart camera systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this evaluation apparatus improve surveillance operations? 2. What are the key factors considered in determining the suitability of camera arrangement?


Original Abstract Submitted

An evaluation apparatus () includes an acquisition unit (), an index computation unit (), and a suitability computation unit (). The acquisition unit () acquires arrangement information and environmental information. The arrangement information indicates at least any of position, orientation and field angle of an image capturing apparatus. The environmental information indicates an environment of a target region. The index computation unit () computes a surveillance index by using the arrangement information and the environmental information, the surveillance index indicating difficulty or easiness of surveilling a target object. The suitability computation unit () computes suitability of arrangement of the image capturing apparatus indicated by the arrangement information, based on the distribution of the surveillance index in the target region.
