Description

防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムおよび防犯カメラシステムSecurity camera device operation program and security camera system
この発明は、屋外に設置される防犯カメラのシステムに関する。 The present invention relates to a system of security cameras installed outdoors.
屋外に設置され、撮影装置によってその場所の映像を常時撮影する防犯カメラは、すでに普及している。撮影された画像情報は、その防犯カメラの中の記憶装置に保存されるか、あるいは基地となる場所に設置されたサーバなどに転送されてそこで保存される。何等かの事件や犯罪などが発生した時には、関連する場所の防犯カメラにより撮影された映像を解析することによって、発生した現象を詳細に把握でき、事件の解決につながる情報を得ることもできる。 Security cameras that are installed outdoors and constantly shoot images of the place with a shooting device are already widespread. The captured image information is stored in a storage device inside the security camera, or is transferred to a server installed at a base location and stored there. When an incident or crime occurs, it is possible to grasp the phenomenon in detail and obtain information that will lead to the resolution of the incident by analyzing the images taken by the security cameras in the related places.
このような防犯システムがあることは、悪意ある者に対して圧力になり、犯罪行為を思いとどまらせる効果もある。また、その地域における人たちに安心感を与える。 Having such a crime prevention system also puts pressure on malicious persons and has the effect of discouraging criminal activity. It also gives people a sense of security in the area.
一方で、公共の場を常時撮影することにより、撮影された映像にはプライバシーに係る情報も含まれる。これらの映像が流出すれば、悪用される危険も発生するし、プライバシーは尊重されるべきでもある。特に、事件や犯罪の防止や解決に必要がない場合には、それらのシステムの管理者も閲覧を控えるべきである。 On the other hand, by constantly shooting public places, the shot video also includes information related to privacy.

従来の防犯カメラでは、撮影された画像情報の管理が難しく、プライバシーの保護に問題があった。特許文献1の画像記録モジュールでは、画像を送信できる第1の無線通信回線とは異なる第2の無線通信回線を設け、第2の無線通信回線によって第1の無線通信回線の操作を制御する。しかし、その第2の無線通信回線による制御に使用される遠隔操作装置はIRリモコンキーである。 With conventional security cameras, it is difficult to manage captured image information, and there is a problem in protecting privacy. In the image recording module of Patent Document 1, a second wireless communication line different from the first wireless communication line capable of transmitting an image is provided, and the operation of the first wireless communication line is controlled by the second wireless communication line. However, the remote control device used for control by the second wireless communication line is an IR remote control key.
画像記録モジュールのそれぞれに対応したIRリモコンキーを有する者だけが、その画像記録モジュールの画像を取得できるという点においては、画像の不正流出を防止するために有利である。しかし、多数の画像記録モジュールを設置し、それを管理するとなると、それに応じた数のIRリモコンキーが必要になり取り扱いが難しくなる。一方、一つのIRリモコンキーに複数の画像記録モジュールを対応させれば、そのIRリモコンキーを有する者に多数の画像を取得する権限を与えることになり、その管理者が悪意を有すると、流出するおそれがある情報量も増大する。また、他者がIRリモコンキーを入手すれば、画像情報を自由に取得できることになる。 Only a person who has an IR remote control key corresponding to each of the image recording modules can acquire the image of the image recording module, which is advantageous for preventing unauthorized leakage of the image. However, if a large number of image recording modules are installed and managed, a corresponding number of IR remote control keys are required, which makes handling difficult. On the other hand, if one IR remote control key is associated with a plurality of image recording modules, the person who has the IR remote control key is given the authority to acquire a large number of images, and if the administrator has malicious intent, it leaks. The amount of information that may be generated also increases. Further, if another person obtains the IR remote control key, the image information can be freely acquired.
さらに、多数の防犯カメラを設置しようとすれば、設置および保全の負担も大きくなる。そこで、設置および保全における作業が軽減されることも望まれる。この発明は、設置や保全が容易で、画像の取得も行いやすく、しかもプライバシーの保護において優れた安全性の高い防犯カメラシステムを提供することを目的とする。 Furthermore, if a large number of security cameras are to be installed, the burden of installation and maintenance will increase. Therefore, it is also desired that the work in installation and maintenance be reduced. An object of the present invention is to provide a highly safe security camera system that is easy to install and maintain, easy to acquire images, and has excellent privacy protection.

A server-side program 42 is installed in the storage device.
サーバ側プログラムについて説明する。認証部43は携帯通信端末2との通信において、携帯通信端末2の使用者の権限を照合し、通信の許可・不許可を判定するプログラムである。記憶装置にはユーザ情報が記憶されている。携帯通信端末2から送信されるユーザ情報と照合し権限の有無を判定し、権限のあることを確認できた場合に、それ以降の通信を許可する。 The server-side program will be described. The authentication unit 43 is a program that collates the authority of the user of the mobile communication terminal 2 in communication with the mobile communication terminal 2 and determines whether communication is permitted or not. User information is stored in the storage device. It collates with the user information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 2, determines whether or not there is an authority, and if it can be confirmed that the person has the authority, the subsequent communication is permitted.
コード送信部44は権限のあるユーザの携帯通信端末2に対して、第2通信回線用通信確認コードを送信するプログラムである。記憶装置にはこの防犯カメラシステム1に含まれている防犯カメラ装置2のそれぞれを特定するカメラ個別番号が記憶されており、さらにそれぞれの第2通信回線用通信確認コードも個別番号に対応付けて記録されている。携帯通信端末3からの要求によりコード送信部42が実行されると、そのユーザが処置する防犯カメラ装置2のための第2通信回線用通信確認コードを携帯通信端末3に送信する。 The code transmission unit 44 is a program that transmits a communication confirmation code for a second communication line to the mobile communication terminal 2 of an authorized user. The storage device stores a camera individual number that identifies each of the security camera devices 2 included in the security camera system 1, and further associates each communication confirmation code for the second communication line with the individual number. It has been recorded. When the code transmission unit 42 is executed in response to a request from the mobile communication terminal 3, the communication confirmation code for the second communication line for the security camera device 2 to be dealt with by the user is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 3.
以上、防犯カメラシステム1の概要について、機材とプログラムとともに説明した。さらに、この防犯カメラシステム1の作用の例に基づいて詳細に説明する。図6は防犯カメラシステムの作用の例の概要を示すフローチャートである。ここでは、携帯通信端末3である防犯カメラ装置2の画像情報を取得する処理を含めて説明する。 The outline of the security camera system 1 has been described above together with the equipment and the program. Further, a detailed description will be given based on an example of the operation of the security camera system 1. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the operation of the security camera system. Here, the process of acquiring the image information of the security camera device 2 which is the mobile communication terminal 3 will be described.
サーバ4では、事前に防犯カメラ情報登録PS1およびユーザ情報登録PS2を行う。防犯カメラ情報登録PS1では、管理すべき防犯カメラ装置2のカメラ個別情報と第2通信回線用通信確認コードを対応付けて、記憶装置39に保存しておく。新しい防犯カメラ装置を設置した時も、追加登録していく。 The server 4 performs security camera information registration PS1 and user information registration PS2 in advance. In the security camera information registration PS1, the camera individual information of the security camera device 2 to be managed is associated with the communication confirmation code for the second communication line and stored in the storage device 39. When a new security camera device is installed, additional registration will be done.
ユーザ情報登録PS2では、使用権限を有するユーザを特定するユーザ特定情報およびそれに対応したパスワードを登録する。新たな操作員となるユーザの登録は、サーバ4においてのみによって行えるようになっている。なお、本例では、サーバ4の記憶装置39には防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムの構築に必要なデータが保存されていて、操作員としてユーザ登録を完了したユーザの携帯通信端末3に対してそのデータの送信を行い、携帯通信端末3に防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムのインストールを支援するようにしている。 User information registration In PS2, user identification information that identifies a user who has usage authority and a password corresponding to the user identification information are registered. The registration of the user who will be the new operator can be performed only on the server 4. In this example, the storage device 39 of the server 4 stores data necessary for constructing the security camera device operation program, and the data is stored in the mobile communication terminal 3 of the user who has completed user registration as an operator. Is transmitted to support the installation of the security camera device operation program on the mobile communication terminal 3.
こうしてサーバ2に登録され防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムをインストールした携帯通信端末3を持つユーザは、防犯カメラ装置2の設定や画像情報取得が行えるようになる。ユーザは対象となる防犯カメラ装置2の近くに着いたら、携帯通信端末3で防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムを実行させる。 In this way, the user having the mobile communication terminal 3 registered in the server 2 and having the security camera device operation program installed can set the security camera device 2 and acquire image information. When the user arrives near the target security camera device 2, the user causes the mobile communication terminal 3 to execute the security camera device operation program.
防犯カメラ装置2では確認コード取得部31が実行される。まず、サーバ呼出PH1が実行される。表示画面のタッチ操作などによるユーザ特定情報とパスワードの入力を受けて、そのユーザ特定情報とパスワードが第3通信回線21によってサーバ4に送信される。 In the security camera device 2, the confirmation code acquisition unit 31 is executed. First, the server call PH1 is executed. Upon receiving the input of the user identification information and the password by touch operation of the display screen or the like, the user identification information and the password are transmitted to the server 4 by the third communication line 21.
呼出を受けたサーバ4は、ユーザ特定情報とパスワードを受信し、保存されているユーザ特定情報とパスワードと照合する。保存されたユーザ特定情報とパスワードと一致することが判定されたら、その後の処理を継続する。 The called server 4 receives the user identification information and the password, and collates the stored user identification information and the password. If it is determined that the saved user-specific information matches the password, the subsequent processing is continued.
次いで、携帯通信端末3では確認コード要求PH2が実行される。防犯カメラ装置2を特定するカメラ個別情報がサーバ4に送信される。 Next, the confirmation code request PH2 is executed on the mobile communication terminal 3. The camera individual information that identifies the security camera device 2 is transmitted to the server 4.
カメラ個別情報を受信したサーバ4では、確認コード送信PS4が実行される。受信したカメラ個別情報を保存されているカメラ個別情報と照合し、対応する第2通信回線用通信確認コードを携帯通信端末3に送信する。 The confirmation code transmission PS4 is executed on the server 4 that has received the camera individual information. The received camera individual information is collated with the stored camera individual information, and the corresponding communication confirmation code for the second communication line is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 3.
携帯通信端末3では確認コード受信PH3が実行される。受信した第2通信回線用通信確認コードおよびその時刻を携帯通信端末3の記憶装置に保存する。ここで、表示画面には第2通信回線用通信確認コードが取得されたことが表示されるが、第2通信回線用通信確認コードは表示されない。したがって、操作しているユーザは第2通信回線用通信確認コードを知ることができない。 The confirmation code reception PH3 is executed on the mobile communication terminal 3. The received communication confirmation code for the second communication line and its time are stored in the storage device of the mobile communication terminal 3. Here, the display screen shows that the communication confirmation code for the second communication line has been acquired, but the communication confirmation code for the second communication line is not displayed. Therefore, the operating user cannot know the communication confirmation code for the second communication line.
なお、第2通信回線用通信確認コードには一定の使用可能期間が設けられる。その期間を過ぎると第2通信回線用通信確認コードは携帯通信端末3の記憶装置から消去される。携帯通信端末3は第2通信回線用通信確認コードの存在と共に、取得時情報についても照合し、使用可能期間を経過していないことが確認されたときのみ、防犯カメラ装置2との接続を許可する。使用可能期間が経過している場合には、第2通信回線用通信確認コードは携帯通信端末3の記憶装置から消去するので、ユーザは確認コード取得を行わなければならない。この期間は作業の遂行に必要な程度にすることが好ましい。これによって、第2通信回線用通信確認コードを保存した携帯通信端末3を他者が取得しても、悪用することができない。 The communication confirmation code for the second communication line is provided with a certain usable period. After that period, the communication confirmation code for the second communication line is erased from the storage device of the mobile communication terminal 3. The mobile communication terminal 3 is allowed to connect to the security camera device 2 only when it is confirmed that the usable period has not passed by collating the information at the time of acquisition as well as the existence of the communication confirmation code for the second communication line. To do. When the usable period has expired, the communication confirmation code for the second communication line is erased from the storage device of the mobile communication terminal 3, so that the user must acquire the confirmation code. This period is preferably as long as necessary to carry out the work. As a result, even if another person acquires the mobile communication terminal 3 in which the communication confirmation code for the second communication line is stored, it cannot be misused.
第2通信回線通信PH4について説明する。第2通信回線通信PH4が実行されると、その防犯カメラ装置2に対応した第2通信回線用通信確認コードが保存されていることを確認し、確認できた場合にその第2通信回線用通信確認コードを使用して防犯カメラ装置2と第2通信回線により接続する。したがって、上述の確認コード取得部31の実行によりサーバ2から第2通信回線用通信確認コードを取得した正当なユーザだけが防犯カメラ装置2との通信を許される。そして、第2通信回線を介して防犯カメラ装置2に対して、第1通信回線による通信を要求する。これによって、防犯カメラ装置2の第1通信装置が稼働し、第1通信回線による通信が可能となる。 The second communication line communication PH4 will be described. When the second communication line communication PH4 is executed, it is confirmed that the communication confirmation code for the second communication line corresponding to the security camera device 2 is saved, and if it can be confirmed, the communication for the second communication line is confirmed. The confirmation code is used to connect to the security camera device 2 via the second communication line. Therefore, only a legitimate user who has acquired the communication confirmation code for the second communication line from the server 2 by executing the confirmation code acquisition unit 31 described above is allowed to communicate with the security camera device 2. Then, the security camera device 2 is requested to communicate with the first communication line via the second communication line. As a result, the first communication device of the security camera device 2 operates, and communication via the first communication line becomes possible.
第2通信回線は近距離に限られた通信範囲であり、その場に行かなければ通信できない。また、通信範囲は狭いため他者によって傍受される危険性も低い。 The second communication line has a communication range limited to a short distance, and communication is not possible unless the person goes there. In addition, since the communication range is narrow, the risk of being intercepted by others is low.
第1通信回線18による通信が確立したら、防犯カメラ装置2の設定や画像情報の取得が行えるようになる。まず、画像取得について説明する。 After the communication by the first communication line 18 is established, the security camera device 2 can be set and the image information can be acquired. First, image acquisition will be described.
保存された画像情報を取得する場合、ユーザは表示画面17のタッチ操作などによって、撮影された日時を指定することによって、取得すべき画像情報のデータを選択する。この画像選択情報が防犯カメラ装置2に送信されると、防犯カメラ装置2は選択された画像情報を第1通信回線を介して携帯通信端末3に送信する。第1通信回線は大量のデータを高速で送受信できるので、画像情報の送信も短時間で行える。 When acquiring the saved image information, the user selects the image information data to be acquired by designating the shooting date and time by a touch operation on the display screen 17. When this image selection information is transmitted to the security camera device 2, the security camera device 2 transmits the selected image information to the mobile communication terminal 3 via the first communication line. Since the first communication line can send and receive a large amount of data at high speed, image information can also be transmitted in a short time.
携帯通信端末3に送信される画像情報はすべて暗号化されたものである。防犯カメラ装置2は暗号部を備えていて、撮影装置5により撮影される画像情報は直ちに暗号化される。また、防犯カメラ装置2には復号部は設けられていない。したがって、この防犯カメラ装置2が画像情報を保存した状態で盗難されたとしても、その画像情報を画像として再生することはできない。また、送信中に他者が画像情報を傍受しても、やはり、その画像情報から画像を表示することはできない。 All the image information transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 3 is encrypted. The security camera device 2 includes an encryption unit, and the image information captured by the photographing device 5 is immediately encrypted. Further, the security camera device 2 is not provided with a decoding unit. Therefore, even if the security camera device 2 is stolen with the image information stored, the image information cannot be reproduced as an image. Further, even if another person intercepts the image information during transmission, the image cannot be displayed from the image information.
携帯通信端末3は画像情報を受信すると、復号が実行され、画像情報は表示可能なデータに変換される。この画像情報は携帯通信端末3の記憶装置に保存される。表示を実行すれば、保存された画像情報の画像を表示装置に表示することができる。 When the mobile communication terminal 3 receives the image information, it is decoded and the image information is converted into displayable data. This image information is stored in the storage device of the mobile communication terminal 3. When the display is executed, the image of the saved image information can be displayed on the display device.
ライブ画像PH5が実行されると、携帯通信端末3は撮影装置5がそのときに撮影しつつある画像情報の送信を防犯カメラ装置2に要求する。これによって、撮影装置5が撮影しつつある画像情報が暗号化されて携帯通信端末3に送信される。携帯通信端末3は画像情報を受信しながら復号し、画像を表示装置17に表示させる。こうして、ユーザは撮影装置5が撮影しつつある映像をリアルタイムに観察でき、防犯カメラ装置2の稼働状態を正確に把握できる。 When the live image PH 5 is executed, the mobile communication terminal 3 requests the security camera device 2 to transmit the image information that the photographing device 5 is capturing at that time. As a result, the image information being photographed by the photographing device 5 is encrypted and transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 3. The mobile communication terminal 3 decodes the image information while receiving the image information, and displays the image on the display device 17. In this way, the user can observe the image being captured by the photographing device 5 in real time, and can accurately grasp the operating state of the security camera device 2.
次に、非表示領域設定PH7について説明する。携帯通信端末3において非表示領域設定PH7が実行されると、携帯通信端末3は撮影装置5がそのときに撮影しつつある画像情報の送信を防犯カメラ装置2に要求し、受信した画像情報を復号して表示装置17に表示させる。これは上述のライブ画像部PH6と同様である。また、表示される画像に重ねて格子も表示し、ユーザに対して非表示にすべき箇所の選択を促す。ユーザにタッチ操作などによって格子で分割された領域のうちで、画像情報の不要な箇所の選択を促して、選択された領域を非表示領域に指定する。この指定情報を防犯カメラ装置2に送信する。防犯カメラ装置2は受信した指定情報を記憶装置5に保存する。こうして、非表示領域が設定される。これ以降は、撮影された画像情報には非表示領域の部分の画像データが塗りつぶしやモザイク化などによって不可視化され、プライバシーが保護される。 Next, the non-display area setting PH7 will be described. When the non-display area setting PH7 is executed in the mobile communication terminal 3, the mobile communication terminal 3 requests the security camera device 2 to transmit the image information being photographed by the photographing device 5 at that time, and receives the received image information. It is decoded and displayed on the display device 17. This is the same as the above-mentioned live image unit PH6. In addition, a grid is also displayed on top of the displayed image to encourage the user to select a part to be hidden. The user is prompted to select an unnecessary part of the image information among the areas divided by the grid by a touch operation or the like, and the selected area is designated as a non-display area. This designated information is transmitted to the security camera device 2. The security camera device 2 stores the received designated information in the storage device 5. In this way, the hidden area is set. After that, the captured image information is invisible by filling or mosaicking the image data in the non-display area, and privacy is protected.
設定部では、照明装置の点灯・消灯の切り替えなどの機能を実行させることもできる。 The setting unit can also execute functions such as switching on / off of the lighting device.
防犯カメラ装置2に対する必要な作業が終了すると携帯通信端末3の防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムは停止する。携帯通信端末3は第1通信回線による通信を終了する。これに対応して、防犯カメラ装置2も第1通信装置を停止させる。また、携帯通信端末3との通信が行われなくなって一定の時間が経過した時も、防犯カメラ装置2の第1通信装置は停止する。 When the necessary work for the security camera device 2 is completed, the security camera device operation program of the mobile communication terminal 3 is stopped. The mobile communication terminal 3 ends the communication by the first communication line. Correspondingly, the security camera device 2 also stops the first communication device. Further, even when a certain time elapses after the communication with the mobile communication terminal 3 is stopped, the first communication device of the security camera device 2 is stopped.
以上、作業員は携帯通信端末3で防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムを実行させて、防犯カメラ装置2に対する作業を容易に行うことができる。作業は効率的であり、多数の防犯カメラ装置2に対する作業を短時間で行うことができる。専用の機材を使用しなくても、携帯通信端末3に防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムをインストールすることによって必要時に必要数の防犯カメラ装置操作装置を取得でき、しかも、セキュリティに優れており、個人情報の保護に寄与する。 As described above, the worker can easily perform the work on the security camera device 2 by executing the security camera device operation program on the mobile communication terminal 3. The work is efficient, and the work on a large number of security camera devices 2 can be performed in a short time. By installing the security camera device operation program on the mobile communication terminal 3, it is possible to acquire the required number of security camera device operation devices when necessary without using special equipment, and it is also excellent in security and personal information. Contribute to protection.
なお、携帯通信端末3には、防犯カメラ装置2の内部にインストールされているファームウェアの更新プログラムを保存するようにすることもできる。そして、この更新プログラムを、第1通信回線を介して防犯カメラ装置2に送信する更新プログラム送信ステップを実行できるプログラムをインストールしておく。この更新プログラムは、防犯カメラ装置操作プログラムの一部として構成してもよく、独立したアプリケーションソフトウェアとし、特別な権限を有する作業員が使用する携帯通信端末3のみにインストールするようにしてもよい。
他方、防犯カメラ装置2には携帯通信端末3から送信される更新プログラムを受信し、ファームウェアを更新するファームウェア更新ステップを実行できるようにする。作業員は、防犯カメラ装置2の点検や画像の取得のために防犯カメラ装置2を訪れた際に、併せてファームウェアの更新を行ことができる。
電子機器のファームウェアを携帯電話通信回線などの一般通信回線を介して更新することは既に行われている。しかし、本例では各防犯カメラ装置2に一般通信回線による通信機能を持たせることなく、ファームウェアの更新ができる。したがって、高価な一般通信回線用通信装置を内蔵する必要がなく、また、高価な通信回線の使用料を払う必要もない。さらに、一般通信回線を使用しないので、関係者以外の者によって無断でファームウェアを書き変えられるリスクがない。
The mobile communication terminal 3 can also save the firmware update program installed inside the security camera device 2. Then, a program that can execute the update program transmission step of transmitting this update program to the security camera device 2 via the first communication line is installed. This update program may be configured as a part of the security camera device operation program, may be independent application software, and may be installed only on the mobile communication terminal 3 used by a worker having special authority.
On the other hand, the security camera device 2 receives the update program transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 3 and enables the security camera device 2 to execute the firmware update step of updating the firmware. When the worker visits the security camera device 2 for inspection of the security camera device 2 or acquisition of an image, the worker can also update the firmware.
Updating the firmware of electronic devices via a general communication line such as a mobile phone communication line has already been performed. However, in this example, the firmware can be updated without giving each security camera device 2 a communication function by a general communication line. Therefore, it is not necessary to incorporate an expensive communication device for a general communication line, and it is not necessary to pay a usage fee for an expensive communication line. Furthermore, since a general communication line is not used, there is no risk that the firmware can be rewritten without permission by a person other than the person concerned.
防犯カメラ装置および防犯カメラシステムの別の例について説明する。図7は防犯カメラ装置の別の例の構成を示すブロック図である。本例でも上述の例と同じ構成を含み、それらについての説明は省略する。 Another example of a security camera device and a security camera system will be described. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of another example of the security camera device. This example also includes the same configurations as the above-mentioned example, and the description thereof will be omitted.
本例の防犯カメラ装置2では、青色の光が照射されるようになっている。図7に示す例では、照明部材7の前面に青色フィルター50が設けられている。この青色フィルター50として、青色のプラスチックのキャビネットが照明部材7の照射方向を覆うように取り付けられている。 In the security camera device 2 of this example, blue light is emitted. In the example shown in FIG. 7, a blue filter 50 is provided on the front surface of the lighting member 7. As the blue filter 50, a blue plastic cabinet is attached so as to cover the irradiation direction of the lighting member 7.
ここでは、照明部材7として白色LEDを使用している。たとえば、青色LEDとその補色である黄色蛍光体の組合せたものや、光の三原色のLEDを組合せたものを使用できる。照明部材7より放射された光は、青色フィルター50を通過することにより、青色成分の多い光となり、人の目にも青い光として見える。こうしての青色光に照らされることによって、そこを通行する人が安心感を覚えるという心理的効果がある。また、青色光の照射により、これは一般的な照明である街路灯とは異なって防犯灯であるということを示すことができる。防犯灯があることを知らしめることによって、一般の通行者には守られているという安心感をもたらし、他方で、悪意ある者に対しては犯罪行為を思いとどまらせる抑止効果がある。 Here, a white LED is used as the lighting member 7. For example, a combination of a blue LED and its complementary color, a yellow phosphor, or a combination of LEDs of the three primary colors of light can be used. The light emitted from the lighting member 7 passes through the blue filter 50 and becomes light having a large amount of blue components, which is visible to the human eye as blue light. By being illuminated by such blue light, there is a psychological effect that people passing by feel a sense of security. Also, by irradiating blue light, it can be shown that this is a security light unlike a street light which is a general lighting. By letting people know that there is a security light, it gives the general public a sense of security that they are protected, and on the other hand, it has a deterrent effect that discourages criminal activity against malicious persons.
照明部材からの光の反射光は、撮影部材に到達し、CMOSセンサーなどの受光素子によって画像情報に変換される。本例においては白い光を照射して得られる画像よりも青みが勝った画像になっている。この画像情報に基いた画像は、目視などによる解析には適していない。本例の防犯カメラシステムは、撮影部材5により取得された画像情報から青色フィルターによる効果を相殺するカラーシフト処理を行う青色補正ステップを有する。色相関図上、青色の補色になる色の成分に重みを付ける処理を行うことによって、青みがかった画像を補正し、白色光の照射での撮影に近い画像が再現される。この画像は鮮明であり、犯罪等の確認なども迅速に行うことができる。 The reflected light of the light from the lighting member reaches the photographing member and is converted into image information by a light receiving element such as a CMOS sensor. In this example, the bluish image is superior to the image obtained by irradiating white light. The image based on this image information is not suitable for visual analysis or the like. The security camera system of this example has a blue correction step of performing a color shift process that cancels the effect of the blue filter from the image information acquired by the photographing member 5. By performing a process of weighting the color component that becomes the complementary color of blue on the color correlation diagram, the bluish image is corrected and an image close to that taken by irradiation with white light is reproduced. This image is clear, and it is possible to quickly confirm crimes and the like.
青色補正ステップは、防犯カメラシステムにおいていずれの段階で行ってもよい。防犯カメラ装置でも、携帯通信端末でも、あるいはサーバであってもよい。ここでは、防犯カメラ装置内にある制御プログラムの一部として青色補正部51が設けられている。撮影部材により画像情報がされた後に、演算装置8により青色補正部51の青色補正ステップが実行される。 The blue correction step may be performed at any stage in the security camera system. It may be a security camera device, a mobile communication terminal, or a server. Here, the blue correction unit 51 is provided as a part of the control program in the security camera device. After the image information is obtained by the photographing member, the arithmetic unit 8 executes the blue correction step of the blue correction unit 51.
