Description

災害監視装置、災害監視システム、災害監視方法、および記録媒体Disaster monitoring device, disaster monitoring system, disaster monitoring method, and recording medium
　本発明は、災害監視装置、災害監視システム、災害監視方法、および記録媒体に関し、特に、監視対象地域内における災害の発生を監視する災害監視装置、災害監視システム、災害監視方法、および記録媒体に関する。 The present invention relates to a disaster monitoring device, a disaster monitoring system, a disaster monitoring method, and a recording medium, and particularly relates to a disaster monitoring device, a disaster monitoring system, a disaster monitoring method, and a recording medium that monitor the occurrence of a disaster within a monitored area. .
　関連する技術では、監視カメラやセンサ機器を用いて、防災のための監視が行われている。一例では、河川に沿って、多数の監視カメラが設置される。それぞれの監視カメラが撮影した監視映像のデータは、無線通信によって、土木事務所や管理事務所等の監視センタへ転送される。 Related technology uses surveillance cameras and sensor equipment to monitor for disaster prevention. In one example, a large number of surveillance cameras are installed along a river. The data of the surveillance video taken by each surveillance camera is transferred to a surveillance center such as a civil engineering office or a management office via wireless communication.
　監視センタ内のビデオモニタには、監視カメラから送信された監視映像が表示される。特許文献１に記載の監視システムでは、地震が発生した直後に、監視対象地域内に設置された監視カメラが、自動的に撮影を開始する。被災監視装置は、監視カメラが撮影した監視映像のデータを受信して、その監視映像を分析することによって、監視対象地域が被災したかどうかを判定する。監視映像に基づいて、監視対象地域が被災したと判定した場合、被災監視装置は、監視センタへ警報メッセージを送信する。 Surveillance images sent from surveillance cameras are displayed on the video monitors in the surveillance center. In the monitoring system described in Patent Document 1, immediately after an earthquake occurs, a monitoring camera installed in a monitoring target area automatically starts capturing images. The disaster monitoring device receives data of surveillance video taken by a surveillance camera and analyzes the surveillance video to determine whether the area to be monitored has been damaged by a disaster. If it is determined that the area to be monitored has been affected by a disaster based on the monitoring video, the disaster monitoring device transmits an alarm message to the monitoring center.
　また、特許文献２に記載の監視システムでは、監視対象地域内に、監視カメラ及びセンサ機器をそれぞれ備えた複数の監視装置が設置される。それぞれの監視装置は、監視カメラが撮影した監視映像のデータ、および、センサ機器が検知したセンサデータを、ＩＰネットワークを通じて、マルチキャスト配信する。監視センタは、複数の監視装置の各々から、監視映像のデータおよびセンサデータを受信する。そして、監視センタは、受信した監視映像のデータをビデオモニタ上に表示させるとともに、センサデータに基づくテキストデータを、監視映像に重畳して表示する。 Furthermore, in the monitoring system described in Patent Document 2, a plurality of monitoring devices each equipped with a monitoring camera and a sensor device are installed within a monitoring target area. Each monitoring device multicasts data of a monitoring video taken by a monitoring camera and sensor data detected by a sensor device through an IP network. The monitoring center receives monitoring video data and sensor data from each of the plurality of monitoring devices. Then, the monitoring center displays the data of the received monitoring video on the video monitor, and displays text data based on the sensor data superimposed on the monitoring video.

　大規模な災害が発生した際、監視カメラのみでは、監視対象地域の被災状況を十分に把握できない可能性がある。例えば、大雨により、内水氾濫が発生することによって、市街地が冠水する。河川の周辺に設置された監視カメラは、市街地を撮影することができない。その結果、監視センタでは、監視映像に基づいて、監視対象地域の被災状況を、完全に把握することが難しい。 When a large-scale disaster occurs, it may not be possible to fully understand the damage situation in the area being monitored using surveillance cameras alone. For example, heavy rain causes inland water flooding, resulting in urban areas being flooded. Surveillance cameras installed around rivers cannot capture images of urban areas. As a result, it is difficult for the monitoring center to completely understand the disaster situation in the monitored area based on the monitored images.
　本発明は、上記の課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、監視映像に基づく監視を補うための仕組みを提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a mechanism for supplementing surveillance based on surveillance video.

Referring to FIG. 1, an example of the configuration of a disaster monitoring system 1 including any one of disaster monitoring devices 10, 20, and 30 according to embodiments 1 to 3, which will be described later, will first be described. In FIG. 1, "disaster monitoring device 10 (20, 30)" represents any one of the disaster monitoring devices 10, 20, 30 according to the first to third embodiments.
　図１に示すように、災害監視システム１は、カメラ１００、監視センタ２００、および映像管理装置３００を含む。災害監視システム１の各構成要素は、複数であってもよい。災害監視システム１は、あらかじめ定められた監視対象地域を監視する。監視対象地域は、例えば、都道府県や市町村などの行政区画に基づいて指定される。 As shown in FIG. 1, the disaster monitoring system 1 includes a camera 100, a monitoring center 200, and a video management device 300. Each component of the disaster monitoring system 1 may be plural. The disaster monitoring system 1 monitors a predetermined area to be monitored. The area to be monitored is specified based on, for example, an administrative division such as a prefecture or a municipality.
　カメラ１００は、平常時、災害の監視以外の用途で使用される。平常時、カメラ１００は、撮影によって得られた映像のデータを映像管理装置３００へ送信する。カメラ１００は、有線又は無線でインターネットに接続可能な、一般的なビデオカメラまたはＩｏＴカメラである。例えば、カメラ１００は、店舗の内外に設置された防犯カメラ１００Ａを含む。あるいは、カメラ１００は、道路状況を観察するための道路ライブカメラ１００Ｂを含む。あるいは、カメラ１００は、ドローンに搭載されたドローンカメラ１００Ｃを含む。 The camera 100 is used for purposes other than disaster monitoring during normal times. During normal times, the camera 100 transmits video data obtained by shooting to the video management device 300.
