Abstract: A setting unit sets the operating mode of an aerial vehicle to a first operating mode that transmits, data generated by a host aerial vehicle and data received from another aerial vehicle to a processing device, or a second operating mode that transmits data generated by a host aerial vehicle to another aerial vehicle. At this time, setting unit sets the operating modes of each of a plurality of aerial vehicles using a setting method corresponding to the attributes of an airspace in which aerial vehicle flies, from among a plurality of setting methods that set the operating mode of aerial vehicle. The attributes of an airspace include attributes determined in accordance with a degree of importance pertaining to the process of transmitting data from aerial vehicle to a server device and/or attributes determined in accordance with the extent to which processes are distributed among a plurality of aerial vehicles.

Abstract: A polygon pattern generating unit 6 to extract a plurality of luminance points from a dictionary image of each group to generate a dictionary polygon pattern whose vertices are the plurality of luminance points, and extract a plurality of luminance points from an observation image to generate a target polygon pattern whose vertices are the plurality of luminance points, and a pattern comparing unit 10 to perform a comparison of the dictionary polygon pattern of each group and the target polygon pattern are disposed, and a type determining unit 15 determines the type of an unknown target by using the result of the comparison of the patterns which is performed by the pattern comparing unit 10.
