Abstract

A shooting instruction device 1 selects one of preset shooting patterns 101 according to the type and scale of the disaster to cope with, then inputs shooting conditions 112 corresponding to the selected shooting pattern, and sends a shooting instruction 103. A video camera apparatus 2 loaded on a helicopter 3 makes a flight plan 106 based on the received shooting instruction 103, then shoots the position of a shooting target, then adds a still picture mark to a video signal 111, and sends it together with associated data 114. An information display device 4 extracts a still picture from a video signal 113 with the still picture mark, and displays the still picture together with the associated data 114.
