  • Publication number: 20210240991
    Abstract: A dashboard camera acquires video data from a camera that captures the surroundings of a vehicle, acquires sensor data including at least one of acceleration, speed, and angular velocity of the vehicle, gives time information indicating time of acquisition to each of the video data and the sensor data, and transmits the sensor data to a data analysis server when an event occurs in the vehicle, the data analysis server identifies the content of the event occurred in the vehicle based on the sensor data and transmits an identification result to the dashboard camera, and when the identified event is determined to be the predetermined event, the dashboard camera specifies video data to which time information same as the time information given to the sensor data used for the identification is given, and transmits the specified video data to a video accumulation server.

  • Publication number: 20200074377
    Abstract: A contribution level determination method includes: obtaining, from a first storage device, records of annotation works for each of one or more units of target data for which the annotation works carried out by each of workers that use crowdsourcing have been completed; and calculating work contribution levels for each of worker IDs representing a different one of the workers, in accordance with a predetermined weighting rule stored in a second storage device, by referring to the records. In the calculating of the contribution levels, for each of the one or more units of target data, the work contribution level is calculated using a heavier weight for the worker ID representing a particular worker who carried out the annotation work initially than for the work contribution levels for the worker IDs representing the workers who carried out annotation works after the particular worker, in the order of the annotation works.
