A flow line creation section generates flow line data indicative of a
trajectory of a customer moving in a monitored area. The generated flow
line data is stored in a flow line database. A customer extraction
section extracts image data including the customer's face image from a
video captured by a camera. The extracted image data is stored in a
customer image database. A matching section matches the flow line data
stored in the flow line database individually with the image data
including the customer's face image corresponding to the flow line data,
out of the image data stored in the customer image database. Data
indicative of a correlation between the matched flow line data and image
data is stored in a matching list database.
