Description

  The present invention relates to a suspicious person photographing system for photographing a suspicious person close to a vehicle.

JP 2005-247117 A

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, vehicles such as automobiles have been equipped with a security system that performs threatening by a buzzer or photographing an intruder with an in-vehicle camera when an illegal act or an intruding act on the vehicle is detected.

  However, the conventional security system may be effective in repelling unauthorized intruders, but has not been effective in terms of arresting unauthorized intruders. For example, the threat of buzzer may be effective in repelling unauthorized intruders, but it does not contribute to arresting intruders. The effect of reporting to the police by neighboring residents who heard the buzzer sound is not expected, but there are many false alarms (such as buzzer sound output by passing cars, etc.), and neighboring residents are gradually indifferent to such warning sounds. There is also a tendency to become. On the other hand, even when shooting an unauthorized intruder with an in-vehicle camera, the imaging range of the in-vehicle camera is limited to the interior of the vehicle, and it is necessary to know in detail the physique of the unauthorized intruder and behavior outside the vehicle (escape route). It is difficult. In addition, the installation position of the camera is easy to understand, and there is a possibility of avoiding intruders from being captured by the camera.

  The subject of this invention is providing the suspicious person imaging | photography system which can contribute greatly to the arrest of the person who performs the fraudulent act or intrusion act with respect to a vehicle.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above problems, the suspicious person photographing system of the present invention is:
A suspicious person detecting means for detecting a suspicious person close to the own vehicle; and a suspicious person detecting information transmitting means for wirelessly transmitting suspicious person detection information predetermined when the suspicious person is detected to the outside area of the vehicle; A vehicle having
A plurality of photographing devices attached to various structures located outside the vehicle of the vehicle, the suspicious person detection information receiving means for wirelessly receiving the suspicious person detection information, and predetermined with reception of the suspicious person detection information A photographing device for monitoring having photographing means for continuously performing photographing within a photographing range for a predetermined photographing period;
Suspicious person photographing information storage means for storing a photographed image photographed by the photographing means in either or both of the outside of the monitoring photographing apparatus and the storage unit included in the monitoring photographing apparatus itself;
When the suspicious person is detected, photographing by the photographing means of all the photographing devices for monitoring that are located in the outer peripheral area of the vehicle and have received the suspicious detection signal is performed. And

  According to the configuration of the present invention described above, when the vehicle detects a suspicious person, the monitoring photographing devices around the vehicle perform image photographing all at once, so that the suspicious person may be photographed by any of them. However, it is possible to contribute to arresting the criminal by providing information on these images. Even if a suspicious person notices a surveillance camera, there are many surveillance cameras in the vicinity, so it is almost impossible to prevent them from appearing on all surveillance cameras, and it was taken once. For example, since it is difficult to delete the captured image from all of these imaging devices, it can be a great deterrent against fraudulent acts on the vehicle such as theft. Further, if the photographing of each monitoring photographing device is not performed for a very short period but is continued for a relatively long period of time such as 30 seconds or more, the criminal is running away from the photographed image of each monitoring photographing device. It is also possible to take a picture of the escape route. Note that the monitoring imaging device may continuously shoot moving images during a predetermined imaging period, or continuously capture still images at predetermined time intervals during a predetermined imaging period. It may be a thing.

  Note that the monitoring imaging device can be a street imaging device installed in a street facility. According to this configuration, since various imaging devices for streetlights can be used, suspicious person photographing can be performed with more photographing means, and the suspicious person is more likely to be photographed. Further, since there are many vehicles that are provided with outside-vehicle photographing means for photographing outside the vehicle in recent years, the surveillance photographing device is provided in a vehicle outside the vehicle that can detect a suspicious person. It is good. As a result, the vehicle that is stopped near the vehicle that has detected the suspicious person or the vehicle that is running is also photographed, so the suspicious person can be photographed by more photographing means, and the suspicious person is photographed. More likely. The monitoring imaging device may be an out-of-store monitoring imaging device for monitoring the outside of a store, or an out-of-house monitoring imaging device for monitoring the outside of a house. By using a larger number of photographing apparatuses as monitoring photographing apparatuses, the number of photographing increases, so that the possibility of photographing a suspicious person increases.

  The monitoring imaging apparatus of the present invention can have a normal imaging function for performing imaging by the imaging means when a predetermined normal imaging condition is satisfied. For example, a camera that always shoots like a street surveillance camera, a camera that only shoots within a set time period, or a camera that shoots based on the detection of a specific sensor, etc. Can have another shooting as the main function. In other words, by incorporating a photographing device installed for some purpose as a monitoring photographing device of the suspicious person photographing system of the present invention, the number of monitoring photographing devices increases. The possibility that a suspicious person will be photographed increases. In this case, the suspicious person photographing information storage means does not overwrite the photographed image photographed by the photographing means with reception of the suspicious person detection information with a photographed image photographed based on the normal photographing condition. It can be stored in the storage unit in the form. As a result, the photographed image taken for the suspicious person can be stored without being overwritten by the photographed image under the normal photographing condition.

  In addition, while having a normal photographing information storage means for storing and holding in the storage unit a photographed image photographed by the photographing means of the monitoring photographing device based on a normal photographing condition, for a predetermined storage period, A normal photographed image erasing unit that erases the photographed image after the storage period has elapsed, and the suspicious person information storage unit captures a photographed image photographed by the photographing unit upon reception of the suspicious person detection information; It can be stored in the storage unit in a form that is not erased by the normal photographed image erasing means. According to this configuration, shooting under normal shooting conditions has a relatively high shooting frequency such as regular shooting or regular shooting. Therefore, after being held for a certain period, the burden on the apparatus can be reduced by deleting them. At this time, since the photographed image photographed for suspicious person photographing is not erased, the photographed image for determining the suspicious person can be provided.

  The suspicious person detection information in the present invention may include detection related information related to detection of the suspicious person together with the suspicious person detection information indicating that the suspicious person has been detected. In this case, the suspicious person photographing information storage means associates the photographed image photographed by the photographing means with the reception of the suspicious person detection information with the detection related information received together with the suspicious person detection information. The information is stored in the storage unit. As a result, it is possible to acquire information related to the captured image, and to provide the information as information for suspicious person arrest.

In subsequent S22, if it is determined that the suspicious person detection information has been received, the process proceeds to S23.

  At S23, the control units 21 and 31 determine the position of themselves (20, 30) and the relative position of the vehicle (10) that detected the suspicious person based on the received suspicious person detection information and the current position information of the earthquake. Identify relationships. In the case of the control unit 21, the current position of itself (20) is acquired from the detection result of the position detection unit 27. In the case of the control unit 31, the current position of itself (30) is stored in the storage device 32 as the current position of itself. While reading the installation position, the current position information of the vehicle 10 that detected the suspicious person is acquired from the current position 143 included in the suspicious person detection information 140, and the relative positional relationship is specified based on these.

  In subsequent S24, the control units 21 and 31 drive the drive unit 26b of the imaging units 26a and 36a based on the relative positional relationship between the position of itself (20, 30) and the vehicle (10) that detected the suspicious person. Then, the direction is changed so that the imaging range of the imaging units 26a and 36a is directed to the vehicle 10 side. At this time, the direction of the light irradiation direction of the light source 36c is also changed so as to irradiate the photographing range.

  In subsequent S25, the control units 21 and 31 transmit a control signal for starting shooting to the shooting units 26a and 36a, and the shooting units 26a and 36a that have received the control signals start shooting. In addition, you may start imaging | photography before S23. That is, the camera orientation may be changed while shooting.

  In S26, control units 21 and 31 determine whether or not a predetermined shooting period has elapsed since the start of shooting. If the predetermined shooting period has not elapsed, shooting continues, and if the predetermined shooting period has elapsed, the process proceeds to S27.

  In S27, as shown in FIG. 4, the control units 21 and 31 generate suspicious person information in which the detection-related information and the shooting-related information are associated with the captured image, and store the suspicious person information in the storage devices 22 and 32. .

  In subsequent S <b> 28, the control units 21 and 31 transmit the generated suspicious person information to the terminal devices 40 and 60 and the information management center 70 corresponding to the control unit 21 and 31. The transmission here may be wired transmission. The process ends when S28 ends. Note that this processing is also repeatedly performed at a predetermined cycle.

  First, in S <b> 31, the control units 41, 61, 71 enter a standby state for receiving suspicious person detection information wirelessly transmitted from the control unit 21 of the other vehicle 20 and the street monitoring camera 30. In subsequent S22, if it is determined that the suspicious person detection information has been received, the process proceeds to S23.

  In S33, the control units 41, 61, 71 store the received suspicious person information in the storage device 72. The information management center 70 may acquire a plurality of suspicious person information regarding the same suspicious person detection. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 5, the suspicious person information regarding the same suspicious person detection is obtained. Remember to associate.

  In the terminal devices 40 and 60, this process is ended by S33. In S <b> 33, after S <b> 33, the process ends after transmitting the aggregate information of the suspicious person information related to the vehicle 10 to the owner terminal device 50 of the vehicle 10 in which the suspicious person is detected. These processes are also repeatedly performed at predetermined intervals.

  On the other hand, the owner terminal 50 of the vehicle 10 also performs the same processing as that on the right side of FIG. However, the suspicious person information received and stored is total information of the suspicious person information related to the vehicle 10.

  By the way, in the information management center 70, it is possible to browse the aggregate information of the suspicious person information from the abnormality report output unit 74. Here, the total information stored in the storage device 72 is displayed on the screen in the form as shown in FIG. The storage device 72 of this embodiment functions as a map image storage unit that stores map image data. FIG. 7A shows a vehicle in which a suspicious person Z is detected based on the map image data. On the map screen centered at 10, monitoring imaging devices 20 and 30 that have performed imaging related to the detection of the suspicious person are displayed. A suspicious person detection position mark (marking image) is displayed at the position of the vehicle 10 that detected the suspicious person Z, and a shooting execution position mark (marking image) is displayed at the surrounding shooting execution positions. Thereby, it is easy to understand the positional relationship between the suspicious person detection position and the shooting execution position. Since the road is also displayed, it is easy to estimate the escape route of the suspicious person. Further, as a predetermined position determination operation (for example, mouse click operation) is performed on the shooting execution position mark by the operation unit 76, the shooting is performed at the shooting execution position as shown in FIG. 7B. The captured image is displayed on the screen.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, these are only illustrations to the last, and this invention is not limited to these, A various change is possible unless it deviates from the meaning of a claim. is there.

  For example, the monitoring imaging device is not limited to the vehicle 20 or the street monitoring camera 30 and may include other imaging. The street monitoring camera 30 may include an out-of-store monitoring imaging device for monitoring the outside of the store and an out-of-house monitoring imaging device for monitoring the outside of the house. The captured image may be a moving image or a still image.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the suspicious person information is stored in the monitoring imaging devices 20 and 30 and the external information management center 70, but either may be used. It is possible to omit the configuration for distributing the suspicious person information to the terminal devices 40, 50, 60. When distributing the suspicious person information to the terminal devices 40, 50, 60, when the distribution target is a mobile phone, the detection related information and the photographing related information are described in the text, and the photographed image is attached. The suspicious person information may be distributed by mail.
