  • Publication number: 20240104891
    Abstract: In the object detection device, the plurality of object detection units output a score indicating a probability that a predetermined object exists, for each partial region set with respect to image data inputted. The weight computation unit computes a weight for each of the plurality of object detection units by using weight computation parameters and based on the image data. The weights are used when the scores outputted by the plurality of object detection units are merged. The weight redistribution unit changes the weight for a predetermined object detection unit, among the weights computed by the weight computation unit, to 0 and output the weights. The merging unit merges the scores outputted by the plurality of object detection units for each of the partial regions, by using the weights computed by the weight computation unit and including the weight changed by the weight redistribution unit.

  • Publication number: 20230334837
    Abstract: In an object detection device, the plurality of object detection units output a score indicating a probability that a predetermined object exists for each partial region set with respect to inputted image data. The weight computation unit uses weight computation parameters to compute a weight for each of the plurality of object detection units on a basis of the image data and outputs of the plurality of object detection units, the weight being used when the scores outputted by the plurality of object detection units are merged. The merging unit merges the scores outputted by the plurality of object detection units for each partial region according to the weights computed by the weight computation unit. The first loss computation unit computes a difference between a ground truth label of the image data and the score merged by the merging unit as a first loss. Then, the first parameter correction unit corrects the weight computation parameters so as to reduce the first loss.

  • Publication number: 20220366678
    Abstract: Teacher and student models output inference results for training data. A loss calculation unit calculates a total loss using at least one of (1) a loss obtained by multiplying a difference between a true value and a student model output by a weight increasing as a confidence of the teacher model output is lower, (2) a loss obtained by multiplying a difference between the true value and the student model output by a weight increasing as a difference between the true value and the teacher model output is greater, and (3) a loss obtained by multiplying a difference between the teacher and student model outputs by weights increasing as the difference between the teacher and student model outputs is greater and increasing as the difference between the true value and the teacher model output is smaller. An update part updates parameters of the student model based on the total loss.

  • Publication number: 20210350522
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) acquires observation information including a result of observing a structure (10) to which a moving load is applied, and determines, by using the observation information and a soundness condition, whether a relation between a temporal change in deflection amount of the structure (10) and a temporal change in an application position satisfies the soundness condition. The soundness condition is a condition, for deflection caused in the structure (10) by applying a load to the structure (10) while changing the application position, being satisfied when the structure (10) is sound. Then, the information processing apparatus (2000) outputs, based on a result of the determination, information relating to a degree of soundness of the structure (10).
