Abstract

A search support system includes at least one camera, and a server capable of communicating with the camera. The camera transmits, to the server, a captured image of the object and image color information of the captured image. The server determines whether a search condition of the captured image set by a user includes a color condition of at least one of white, black, and gray. When the color condition is included in the search condition, the server excludes a captured image associated with the image color information indicating the black-and-white image among all captured images stored in the database from a search target, and outputs a search result including a captured image satisfying the search condition. When the color condition is not included in the search condition, the server outputs a search result including a captured image satisfying the search condition among all captured images stored in the database.
