Here, the data analysis processing unit 23B counts the number of people passing by based on the number of people included in the image represented by the image data. The data analysis processing unit 23B executes a process of detecting and extracting a person from a still image cut out by the data preprocessing unit 23A based on the image data by using various known image processing techniques. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B counts the number of detected and extracted persons, and counts the number of people passing by at the specific point P based on the counted number of persons.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8, the counting of the number of people passing by at the specific point P by the data analysis processing unit 23B will be described in detail.

Specifically, the data analysis processing unit 23B divides the position data of the analysis data preprocessed by the data preprocessing unit 23A and the map reference data (analysis reference data) stored in the analysis reference DB 22B. Based on this, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, image data including an image of a specific point P is extracted. More specifically, the data analysis processing unit 23B extracts image data of a moving image obtained by capturing a region in a predetermined range including a specific point P from a plurality of analysis data stored in the analysis target DB 22A. At this time, the data analysis processing unit 23B also reads the time data associated with the extracted image data from the analysis target DB 22A, and specifies the time when the extracted image data is collected. That is, the image data extracted here is data representing a moving image obtained by capturing a region in a predetermined range including a specific point P in a specific period (for example, a period from time A to time B). The moving image represented by the image data is composed of a plurality of frames of still images obtained by capturing a region in a predetermined range including a specific point P.

The data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment is an image of a moving image including a specific point P as described above from a plurality of analysis data collected by a plurality of recording devices 10 mounted on each of the plurality of moving bodies V. Extract all data. Further, the data analysis processing unit 23B extracts all the image data as described above, including the analysis data collected at different dates and times. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B uses various known image processing techniques as described above to count and aggregate the number of persons included in the still image cut out from the moving image represented by the extracted image data. The number of people passing by the specific point P is counted. Here, the person included in the image represented by the image data corresponds to a passerby at the specific point P, and includes a pedestrian, a person riding a bicycle, and the like.

At this time, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment executes the following processing in a plurality of still images constituting the moving image of the extracted image data, for example, in order to avoid duplicate counting of the same person. That is, here, the data analysis processing unit 23B assumes that the number of people included in one still image constituting the image data is the virtual period estimated number of passersby n counted in the preset virtual counting period t. Count. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B counts the number of people passing by the specific point P based on the estimated number of people passing by in the virtual period n.

Here, the preset virtual counting period t is typically a case where the number of people included in one still image is actually measured at a specific point P by a staff member using a counter or the like. , It is a value that defines how many seconds the number of people pass by. Further, the virtual counting period t is, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a person included in one still image, assuming that the person is moving at a passerby speed v assumed in advance. It corresponds to the required period required to measure and count the same number of people at a specific point P at a fixed point. Here, the required period is approximately the same as the period required to reach the specific point P when, for example, the person appearing at the end of the still image moves toward the specific point P at the passerby speed v assumed in advance. It can be regarded as equivalent. That is, the virtual counting period t is, for example, when the person who appears at the end of the still image among the persons included in one still image moves toward the specific point P at the passerby speed v assumed in advance. It can be approximated by the period required to reach the specific point P.

The virtual counting period t is typically determined according to the installation position of the external camera 11 for collecting image data, the camera angle of view, the assumed passerby speed v, etc., regardless of the moving speed of the moving body V. The range of one still image constituting the image data is geometrically determined in the real space according to the installation position of the external camera 11 in the moving body V, the camera angle of view, and the like, and the depth of the still image in the real space is determined. The distance L from the position corresponding to the end to the specific point P can also be calculated geometrically. For example, in the still image illustrated in FIG. 4, the distance L is assumed to be 10 [m], and the passerby speed v is assumed to be about 5 [km / h], which is the average walking speed of an adult. In this case, among the persons included in the still image shown in FIG. 4, the person who appears at the end of the still image reaches the specific point P when the person moves toward the specific point P at the passerby speed v assumed in advance. The period required for this is 10 × 3600/5/1000 = 7.2 [sec]. Therefore, in this case, the required period required for fixed-point measurement and counting of the same number of people as the number of people included in the still image illustrated in FIG. 4 at a specific point P is 7.2 [sec], which is a virtual counting period. t = 7.2 [sec].

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment counts the number of people included in one still image constituting the image data by assuming that the number of people passing by is the estimated number of people passing through the virtual period. The virtual period estimated number of people n is the number of people who are virtually counted in the virtual counting period t preset as described above. The data analysis processing unit 23B can obtain one virtual period estimated number of passersby n from a moving image constituting one image data including a specific point P.

Here, as described above, the moving image represented by the image data is composed of a plurality of frames of still images obtained by capturing a region in a predetermined range including a specific point P. Therefore, the data analysis processing unit 23B processes as follows in order to obtain one virtual period estimated number of passersby n from the moving image constituting one image data. That is, in this case, the data analysis processing unit 23B extracts an arbitrary one from the still images of a plurality of frames constituting one moving image, for example, as illustrated in FIG. The data analysis processing unit 23B extracts, for example, a still image at a time substantially in the center from a still image of a plurality of frames. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B obtains one virtual period estimated number of passersby n by counting the virtual period estimated number of passersby n from the extracted still image. Alternatively, the data analysis processing unit 23B estimates one virtual period by, for example, calculating the average value of the virtual period estimated number of people n of all the still images of a plurality of frames constituting the moving image once counted. It is also possible to obtain the number of passers n.

The data analysis processing unit 23B sets one virtual period estimated number of passers-by n obtained from one image data including the specific point P as described above, for example, at a time substantially in the center of the period in which the image data is captured. It is processed as if it is the number of passersby counted at the specific point P. For example, if the virtual period estimated number of passersby n is obtained from the image data captured in [9:00 to 9:02], the data analysis processing unit 23B sets the virtual period estimated number of passersby n to [9:01]. ] Is processed as the number of passersby counted at the specific point P. For example, when the virtual counting period t = 7.2 [sec] and the estimated number of people passing through the virtual period n = 15 [persons], the data analysis processing unit 23B sets the data analysis processing unit 23B at [9:01] as illustrated in FIG. The number of people passing by the specific point P is counted by assuming that 15 [persons] have passed the specific point P during 7.2 [sec].

Here, the data analysis processing unit 23B processes the virtual period estimated number of passersby n as the number of passersby counted at the specific point P at a time substantially in the center of the period in which the image data is captured as described above. I explained that it should be done, but it is not limited to this. If the time is within the period, the data analysis processing unit 23B may process, for example, the virtual period estimated number of passersby n as the number of passersby counted at the specific point P at the start time of the period. Then, it may be processed as the number of passersby counted at the specific point P at the end time of the period.

The virtual period estimated number of people n as described above is typically obtained once each time the moving body V equipped with the recording device 10 passes the specific point P once. The data analysis processing unit 23B calculates the virtual period estimated number of passers-by n for each specific point P based on the plurality of analysis data collected by the plurality of recording devices 10 mounted on the plurality of moving bodies V, respectively. , Acquire a plurality of virtual period estimated number of people n at each specific point P.

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B calculates the number of people N at the specific point P in the target time zone for which the number of people is desired to be counted, based on the estimated number of people n in the virtual period at the predetermined time counted as described above. To do. In this case, the data analysis processing unit 23B sets the unit counting period T in advance, and calculates the number of people N passing by the specific point P in the unit counting period T of the target time zone. Here, the unit counting period T is the minimum counting period used as a reference for counting the number of people passing by at a specific point P, and is arbitrarily set as a delimiter unit period for counting the number of people passing by. Will be done.

In this case, the data analysis processing unit 23B calculates the average value n · ave of all the virtual period estimated number of passersby n obtained in the unit counting period T of the target time zone. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B multiplies the average value n · ave by the value obtained by dividing the unit counting period T by the virtual counting period t, so that the specific point P in the unit counting period T in the target time zone The number of people passing by N can be calculated. That is, the data analysis processing unit 23B sets the unit counting period to "T", the virtual counting period to "t", and sets the average value of all the virtual period estimated passers-by n obtained in the unit counting period T of the target time zone. When the number of people passing by a specific point P in the unit counting period T of the target time zone is "n" and "N", the number of people passing N is calculated using the formula (1) shown below. Can be done.

N = n · ave × [T / t] ・・・ (1)

For example, a specific example will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 shows the average value of the target time zone = [5:00 to 6:00], the unit counting period T = 1 [h], the virtual counting period t = 7.2 [sec], and the estimated number of people passing through the virtual period n. The case where n · ave = 10 [person] is illustrated. The plurality of symbols / bar graphs 100 in FIG. 7 represent the virtual period estimated number of passers-by n obtained in the unit counting period T of the target time zone, respectively. In this case, the number of passers-by N at the specific point P in the unit counting period T = 1 [h] in the target time zone [5:00 to 6:00] is 10 × [1.3600 / 7.2] = It becomes 5000 [people].

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B calculates the number of people N passing by the specific point P in the unit counting period T of each target time zone, and aggregates them as a predetermined unit, for example, a daily unit. FIG. 8 shows an example in which the number of people N passing by the specific point P in the unit counting period T of each target time zone is aggregated on a daily basis. The plurality of symbols / bar graphs 200 in FIG. 8 represent the number of people passing N at the specific point P in the unit counting period T of each target time zone, and the symbol 300 is obtained in the unit counting period T of each target time zone. It represents the estimated number of people passing through the virtual period. The accuracy of the number of people N passing at a specific point P in the unit counting period T of each target time zone tends to improve as the number of virtual period estimated number of people n obtained in the unit counting period T of each target time zone increases. is there. Conversely, if a large number of virtual period estimated passers-by n can be obtained evenly in each time zone, the passers-by N can ensure relatively high accuracy even if the unit counting period T is relatively short. This enables detailed analysis of the number of people passing by in a shorter period of time.

When the data analysis processing unit 23B aggregates the number of people passing by N, it is not limited to the daily unit as described above, but aggregates in any desired unit such as a weekly unit, a monthly unit, and a day of the week unit. can do.

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment performs the process of counting the number of people passing by the specific point P as described above for each of the plurality of set specific points P. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B generates specific point-specific counting data representing the counting result of the number of passing persons at each specific point P counted as described above as the analysis result data obtained by analyzing the analysis data. The specific point-specific counting data is data including various information calculated in the process of calculating the number of people N passing by each specific point P in the unit counting period T of each target time zone calculated as described above and the number of people passing N. is there. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B stores the analysis result data including the generated counting data for each specific point in the analysis result DB 22C, creates a database, and stores the data.

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment further counts the number of people passing by the plurality of specific points P, aggregates the number of people passing by the plurality of specific points P, and counts the number of people passing by the movement route R. .. In this case, the data analysis processing unit 23B aggregates the number of people passing by the specific point P included in the moving route R (for example, a specific route) to be counted, and counts the number of people passing by the moving route R. To do. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B generates, as the analysis result data obtained by analyzing the analysis data, the counting data for each specific route representing the counting result of the number of people passing by each moving route R counted as described above. The specific route-specific counting data is data including various information calculated in the process of calculating the number of people passing by and the number of people N passing by each specific point P in the unit counting period T of each target time zone. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B stores the analysis result data including the generated count data for each specific route in the analysis result DB 22C, creates a database, and stores the data.

Further, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment also analyzes the attributes of a person included in the image represented by the image data based on the analysis data preprocessed by the data preprocessing unit 23A. is there. Typically, the data analysis processing unit 23B analyzes the attributes of the person counted as described above.

The data analysis processing unit 23B analyzes the attributes of the person detected and extracted from the still image cut out by the data preprocessing unit 23A based on the image data. The data analysis processing unit 23B typically analyzes the attributes of the person included in the image represented by the image data at each of the above-mentioned specific points P. Furthermore, the data analysis processing unit 23B can also analyze the attributes of a person included in the image represented by the image data for each movement path R in which a plurality of specific points P are assembled.

In this case, the data analysis processing unit 23B extracts, for example, the analysis data for each specific point P from the analysis data collected by the plurality of recording devices 10 based on the position data and the like. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B analyzes the attributes of the person included in the image represented by the image data based on the extracted analysis data, so that each of the plurality of specific points P is in the vicinity of the specific points P. Analyze the attributes of the person who is located and counted as described above. The attribute analysis of the person for each movement route R is almost the same as the case of the specific point P. The data analysis processing unit 23B analyzes the attributes of a person based on the analysis data collected along with the movement of the moving body V for each of a plurality of specific points P and each movement route R.

Here, the data analysis processing unit 23B uses, for example, various known artificial intelligence techniques and deep learning techniques to attribute the person included in the image represented by the image data, and the attributes. Is configured to be able to execute the process of analyzing the flow of the identified person.

Specifically, the data analysis processing unit 23B executes a process of detecting and extracting a person from the still image cut out by the data preprocessing unit 23A as described above. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment executes a process of extracting an image including the feature points of the detected and extracted person from the image represented by the image data. Here, the feature point of the person is a part where the attribute of the person can be specified in the person included in the image. The characteristic points of the person are, for example, parts such as a face on which the person's facial expression appears, limbs on which gestures / gestures appear, and positions where accessories and the like tend to be easily attached. Since the image data of the present embodiment is collected by the recording device 10 mounted on the moving body V as the moving body V moves, many images of the same person taken from different angles are obtained. It is likely to be included. Taking advantage of this, the data preprocessing unit 23A captures the feature points of the person that can be used to identify the attributes of the person from a large number of images taken from different angles as the moving body V moves. By extracting, as much data as possible to be used for identifying the attributes of a person is secured.

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B executes a process of analyzing the attributes of the person included in the image based on the image including the feature points of the person extracted from the image data. The data analysis processing unit 23B is based on, for example, the attribute prediction reference data (analysis reference data) stored in the analysis reference DB 22B and the feature points of the person included in the image extracted from the image data. Analyze the attributes. Here, the attribute prediction reference data reflects the result of learning the attributes of the person that can be estimated according to the characteristic points of the person included in the image by various methods using artificial intelligence technology and deep learning technology. Information. In other words, the attribute prediction reference data was created into a database using various methods using artificial intelligence technology and deep learning technology in order to estimate the attributes of the person based on the characteristic points of the person included in the image. It is data. This attribute prediction reference data can be updated sequentially. As the attribute prediction reference data, for example, the analysis result data (personal attribute data) itself representing the analysis result by the data analysis processing unit 23B can be used as the data for learning.

The attributes of a person analyzed by the data analysis processing unit 23B typically include matters that can be analyzed from the characteristics of the appearance of the person, such as the person's gender, age, physique, social status, and preferences. Or, it includes behavioral orientation. Here, the gender is an attribute representing the distinction between male and female. Age is an attribute that represents the length of years from birth to the present (at that time). The physique is an attribute representing height, weight, various dimensions, and the like. Social status is an attribute that represents occupation (self-employed, businessman, police officer, student, unemployed, part-time job), annual income, status, companion, etc. Preference is an attribute that represents the tendency of clothes / belongings / fashion (casual orientation, elegant orientation, brand orientation, luxury orientation, fast fashion orientation), hobbies (sports / subculture / outdoor / beauty, etc.). Behavioral orientation is an attribute that expresses the mood, interests (what you want to do, where you want to go), etc. at that time. That is, here, the data analysis processing unit 23B estimates gender, age, physique, social status, preference, behavioral orientation, etc. as the attributes of the person.

The data analysis processing unit 23B refers to the attribute prediction reference data and extracts the attributes (gender, age, physique, social status, preference, or behavior orientation) corresponding to the characteristic points of the person included in the image. It is presumed that the extracted attributes are the attributes of the person reflected in the image. The data analysis processing unit 23B refers to the attribute prediction reference data according to, for example, facial expressions, gestures / gestures of limbs, attached accessories, clothes, etc., which are characteristic points of the person included in the image. The attributes that match the characteristic points are matched, and the attributes such as gender, age, physique, social status, preference, and behavioral orientation of the person are estimated.

Further, the data analysis processing unit 23B executes a process of analyzing the position of the person whose attributes are specified as described above based on the position data associated with the image data whose attributes are specified. .. The data analysis processing unit 23B reads, for example, the position data associated with the image data in which the attribute of the person is specified from the analysis target DB 22A. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B analyzes the position and the like of the person whose attribute is specified based on the map reference data (analysis reference data) stored in the analysis reference DB 22B and the read position data. For example, the data analysis processing unit 23B refers to the map reference data and identifies the position where the image is captured based on the position data. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B identifies the position of the person whose attribute is specified based on the position represented by the position data.

As the analysis result data obtained by analyzing the analysis data, the data analysis processing unit 23B obtains the person attribute data representing the attribute of the person analyzed for each specific point P and the position of the person whose attribute is specified as described above. Generate position data for each attribute to be represented. In addition, the data analysis processing unit 23B includes personal attribute data representing the attributes of the person analyzed for each movement path R in which a plurality of specific points P are assembled, and attribute-specific position data representing the position of the person whose attributes are specified. Also generate. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B accumulates the generated person attribute data and the analysis result data including the attribute-specific position data in the analysis result DB 22C and stores them in a database.

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment further generates, as analysis result data, commercial use data based on specific point-specific counting data, specific route-specific counting data, personal attribute data, attribute-specific position data, and the like. May also be configured to be viable. Specifically, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment can calculate, for example, an index representing the number of passersby who have passed the content acceptable range at the specific point P. Here, the content acceptable range at the specific point P is a spatial range in which the person can accept the content output by the output device D at the specific point P, and the visible range in which the person can visually recognize the image displayed by the output device D. , The sound / voice output by the output device D is determined according to the audible range in which a person can hear.

The data analysis processing unit 23B is, for example, a passerby who has passed the content acceptable range for each specific point P in which the output device D exists in the vicinity, based on the count data for each specific point representing the number of people passing by the specific point P. Calculate an index showing the number of people. At the same time, the data analysis processing unit 23B may calculate the index for each of a plurality of movement routes R (for each of a plurality of routes) based on the counting data for each specific route. Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B generates commercial use data representing the index, stores the analysis result data including the generated commercial use data in the analysis result DB 22C, and stores it in a database.

Here, the number of passers-by who have passed the above-mentioned content acceptable range can be typically regarded as the number of people who have received the content output at the specific point P. Then, the content acceptable range can be typically regarded as a region near the specific point P at the specific point P where the output device D exists in the vicinity. Therefore, it can be considered that the number of passers-by who have passed the content acceptable range at the specific point P is substantially the same as the number of passersby at the specific point P.

Based on the above, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the present embodiment sets the number of people passing by the specific point P as the number of people passing through the content acceptable range. That is, here, the data analysis processing unit 23B sets the number of people passing by the specific point P represented by the counting data for each specific point as the number of passersby in the content acceptable range for each specific point P. Similarly, the data analysis processing unit 23B sets the number of passersby for each movement route R represented by the counting data for each specific route as the number of passersby in the content acceptable range for each movement route R.

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B may use the number of passers-by who have passed the content acceptable range itself as an index showing the number of passers-by, or calculate an index showing the number of passers-by based on the number of passers-by. You may. Examples of the index representing the number of passers-by calculated by the data analysis processing unit 23B include "DEC: Daily Effective Circulation" and "GRP: Gross Rating Point". Both "DEC" and "GRP" are indicators of the effectiveness of advertising. “DEC” is typically the number of passers-by per day that pass through the content acceptable range (visible range) of the target ad. “DEC” may be the number of passers-by for people who meet a predetermined age limit, such as 18 years of age or older, or may be the number of passers-by for all people without an age limit. .. "GRP" is typically the ratio of the number of passers-by per day to the content acceptable range in the target population within the area reachable per day for the target advertisement. "GRP" can be represented by [DEC / target population in the target area]. The "target population in the target area" is the population that satisfies the age limit in the target area when the age limit is set for the target of "DEC".

The data analysis processing unit 23B can calculate "DEC" and "GRP" for each specific point P as an index showing the number of passers based on the number of passers in the content acceptable range for each specific point P. .. Similarly, the data analysis processing unit 23B calculates "DEC" and "GRP" for each movement route R as an index indicating the number of passers based on the number of passersby in the content acceptable range for each movement route R. be able to.

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B generates commercial use data representing "DEC" and "GRP" for each specific point P and each movement route R as an index showing the number of passersby who have passed the content acceptable range. Then, the analysis result data including the generated commercial use data can be stored in the analysis result DB 22C and stored in a database.

The data processing unit 23C is a part that executes a process of processing the analysis result data analyzed by the data analysis processing unit 23B into a desired format as described above. The data processing unit 23C processes the counting data for each specific point, the counting data for each specific route, the person attribute data, the human flow data for each attribute, the commercial use data, etc. included in the analysis result data into a desired format. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the data processing unit 23C identifies when, which movement route (route) R, which specific point P, and how many people have what attributes. "DEC", "GRP" for each point P, "DEC", "GRP" for each movement route R, etc. are plotted on a map and processed into various graphs, diagrams, and the like. Then, the processing unit 23 executes a process of outputting the analysis result data processed in a desired format by the data processing unit 23C to the client terminal CL via the data input / output unit 21. The client terminal CL is a terminal that makes it possible to use the analysis result data provided by the analysis device 20 for various purposes such as trade area surveys, marketing, advertisements, judgment materials when determining advertising fees, disaster prevention, and city planning. Is. The client terminal CL is composed of, for example, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, a tablet PC, a smartphone, a mobile terminal, and the like.

Next, the recording device 10 outputs the collected analysis data via the data input / output unit 13 and inputs the collected analysis data to the analysis device 20 via the data input / output unit 21 of the analysis device 20 (step S2). The analysis data input to the analysis device 20 is stored in the analysis target DB 22A.

Next, the data preprocessing unit 23A of the analysis device 20 performs various preprocessing as described above on the analysis data stored in the analysis target DB 22A (step S3).

Next, the data analysis processing unit 23B of the analysis device 20 performs analysis based on the analysis data preprocessed by the data preprocessing unit 23A, and as the analysis result data, count data for each specific point and each specific route. Counting data, personal attribute data, personal flow data by attribute, commercial use data, etc. are generated (step S4).

Then, the data analysis processing unit 23B accumulates the generated analysis result data such as the count data for each specific point, the count data for each specific route, the person attribute data, the human flow data for each attribute, and the commercial use data in the analysis result DB 22C and creates a database. It is memorized (step S5).

Next, the data processing unit 23C of the analysis device 20 receives the analysis result data (counting data for each specific point, counting data for each specific route, person) stored in the analysis result DB 22C in response to a request from the client terminal CL or the like. Attribute data, personal flow data by attribute, commercial use data, etc.) are processed into a desired format as illustrated in FIG. 10 (step S6).

Then, the processing unit 23 of the analysis device 20 outputs and provides the analysis result data processed in a desired format by the data processing unit 23C to the client terminal CL via the data input / output unit 21 (step S7). Ends a series of processes.

The image data collected as the analysis data is data representing an image outside the moving body V, which is captured as the moving body V moves. Then, the analysis device 20 can count the number of people passing by the specific point P in the movement path R of the moving body V based on the analysis data collected by the plurality of recording devices 10. As a result, this analysis system 1 can appropriately analyze the tendency of the flow of a person at each specific point P in the movement path R in which the moving body V moves. Then, the analysis system 1 determines the tendency of the flow of people at each specific point P in the movement route R analyzed as described above, such as trade area survey, marketing, advertising, judgment material when determining advertising fees, disaster prevention / city planning, etc. It can be used for various purposes. Further, the analysis system 1 can reduce the workload of counting and significantly improve the frequency of counting itself, as compared with the case where the number of people passing by is manually counted, for example, by visual inspection. As a result, the analysis system 1 can analyze the tendency of the flow of a person more accurately over a long period of time.

Here, the analysis system 1 described above extracts image data including an image of a specific point P from the analysis data based on the position data by the analysis device 20, and includes the image data represented by the extracted image data. The number of people passing by at a specific point P is counted and aggregated.

Can be done. As a result, the analysis system 1 can analyze the tendency of the flow of a person more accurately.

More specifically, in the analysis system 1 described above, the analysis device 20 counts the number of persons included in one still image constituting the image data in a preset virtual counting period t. It is counted assuming that the estimated number of people passing by is n. Then, the analysis system 1 counts the number of people passing by the specific point P based on the estimated number of people passing by in the virtual period n. As a result, the analysis system 1 can suppress duplicate counting of the same person between a plurality of still images without using, for example, a conventional tracking algorithm, and thus analyze the tendency of the flow of the person more accurately. can do.

Further, the analysis system 1 described above aggregates the number of people passing by the plurality of specific points P counted by the analysis device 20 and counts the number of people passing by the movement route R. As a result, this analysis system 1 can appropriately analyze the tendency of the flow of a person for each movement path R in which the moving body V moves, and can be used for various purposes. The analysis system 1 can also utilize the tendency of the flow of people for each movement route R, for example, to analyze the advertising effect of a moving body such as a wrapping bus.

Further, the analysis system 1 described above counts the number of people passing by the specific point P and the movement route R based on the analysis data collected by the plurality of recording devices 10 mounted on the plurality of moving bodies V, respectively. .. In this analysis system 1, for example, in order to improve the efficiency of vehicle allocation, one moving body V moves on a plurality of routes (moving route R) in one day, and a plurality of moving bodies V are present. Even in the case of operating properly over the route, it is possible to efficiently collect analysis data related to the specific point P from all the moving bodies V that have passed through the specific point P. As a result, since the analysis system 1 can collect more analysis data and use it for the analysis, it is possible to more accurately analyze the tendency of the flow of the person for each specific point P and each movement route R.

Further, the analysis system 1 described above further analyzes the attributes of the person included in the image represented by the image data for each specific point P and each movement path R based on the analysis data by the analysis device 20. As a result, this analysis system 1 can analyze not only the number of people passing by but also the attributes of people counted as the number of people passing by as the tendency of the flow of people for each specific point P and each movement route R. As a result, the analysis system 1 can grasp not only the number of people passing by each specific point P and each movement route R, but also the attribute tendency of the person counted as the number of people passing, and conversely, it is desired. It is possible to easily identify a specific point P, a movement route R, etc., which have many passersby with an attribute tendency. As a result, the analysis system 1 can more preferably utilize the tendency of the flow of people for each specific point P and each movement route R for various purposes as described above.
