Abstract: The present invention provides a motion capture with a high accuracy which can replace an optical motion capture technology, without attaching optical markers and sensors to a subject. A subject with an articulated structure has a plurality of feature points in the body of the subject including a plurality of joints wherein a distance between adjacent feature points is obtained as a constant. A spatial distribution of a likelihood of a position of each feature point is obtained based on a single input image or a plurality of input images taken at the same time. One or a plurality of position candidates corresponding to each feature point are obtained based on the spatial distribution of the likelihood of the position of each feature point. Each join angle is obtained by performing an optimization calculation based on inverse kinematics using the candidates and the articulated structure.

Abstract: Automated drive system comprises a control device. The control device executes run control processing of the automated drive vehicle provided to a driverless transportation service. The run control processing includes carriage porch control processing. The carriage porch control processing is performed when a PUDO position of a user corresponds to a carriage porch of a facility including a zone for run and a zone for PUDO. In the carriage porch control processing, it is judged whether or not there is an empty space in the zone for PUDO. If it is judged that there is no empty space, it is judged whether or not a quick PUDO of the user in the carriage porch is expected. If it is judged that the quick PUDO is expected, a target PUDO position to perform a PUDO action of the automated drive vehicle is set to any position in the zone for run.
