  • Publication number: 20240144507
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes one or more memories storing instructions, and one or more processors executing the instructions to acquire a captured image and a distance image, detect an object from the captured image, acquire first distance information indicating a distance to the detected object, acquire a grounding position of the detected object based on the captured image and acquire second distance information indicating a distance to the detected object based on the first distance information and the acquired grounding position.

  • Patent number: 11908148
    Abstract: An electronic device includes at least one processor or circuit configured to function as a setting unit, an acquisition unit and a processing unit. The setting unit sets an object region in an image acquired from an imaging unit. The acquisition unit acquires a distance map including distance information corresponding to a pixel included in the object region. The processing unit determines object distance information indicating a distance to an object included in the object region, based on the distance information corresponding to the pixel included in the object region.

  • Publication number: 20230286548
    Abstract: An electronic instrument includes a first distance information acquisition unit acquiring first distance information corresponding to an object included in an image signal, at least one of a second distance information acquisition unit acquiring second distance information on the basis of at least one of information of an end position of the object included in the image signal and a third distance information acquisition unit configured to acquire third distance information based on information of a size of the object included in the image signal, and a distance information integration unit generating integrated distance information by combining and integrating at least two of the first distance information, the second distance information, and the third distance information.

  • Patent number: 10565152
    Abstract: A transfer device is one of a plurality of transfer devices each configured to transfer data between a storage device and a processing device. The storage device and the transfer devices are connected via a bus. The transfer device comprise: an issuing unit configured to issue a request for transferring data via the bus; an analysis unit configured to analyze data to be transferred; and a switching unit configured to switch a state of a series of requests issued by the issuing unit between a first state and a second state in which a request from another transfer device interrupts more easily than in the first state, according to a data attribute obtained as a result of analysis.

  • Patent number: 9147140
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of converting input image data into image data expressing a dot pattern cell by cell includes a detection unit configured to detect a pixel having a specific pixel value in the input image data, and a determination unit configured to determine an output value of a pixel included in each cell by arranging as many print pixels as a number of print pixels according to a total value of pixel values of a pixel group including pixels included in a cell except the pixel detected by the detection unit on any of the pixels in the pixel group cell by cell.
