Title: Imaging apparatus for automatically imaging subject
Inventor: NISHINO TAMOTSU
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 2017-01-06
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for automatically and accurately discriminating whether a person or the like can be caught in a field of a camera that is installed at a specific position, when imaging the person with the camera.SOLUTION: Signals transmitted from multiple transmitters each transmitting a radio wave of a specific signal are received by a receiver. A value of a combination of reception strengths of the signals is compared with a value of a combination of levels of a reception strength that is recorded beforehand and enables imaging by a camera, thereby discriminating whether a person having the receiver can be imaged, and the person is automatically imaged. When recording the reception strength beforehand, in a case where the person having the receiver is caught in an image of the camera, the combination of levels of the reception strength at that time is recorded as a position where the person can be imaged by the camera. The combination of levels of the reception strength is mechanically learnt as input data and whether the person can be imaged by the camera is mechanically learnt as output data, thereby providing a simplified discrimination method for associating the combination of levels of the reception strength with the position where the person can be imaged by the camera.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
