Abstract: A geographic object recognition unit (120) recognizes, using image data (192) obtained by photographing in a measurement region where a geographic object exists, a type of the geographic object from an image that the image data (192) represents. A position specification unit (130) specifies, using three-dimensional point cloud data (191) indicating a three-dimensional coordinate value of each of a plurality of points in the measurement region, a position of the geographic object.

Abstract: A drawing image according to drawing data is inputted to an image analysis device. The image analysis device includes a similar image searching unit, an image correspondence detection unit, an attribute output unit, and a knowledge database. The similar image searching unit searches the knowledge database for a drawing image similar to the input drawing image. The image correspondence detection unit detects which of objects and/or their components shown in a drawing image corresponds to which of objects and/or their components shown in the drawing image retrieved by the similar image searching unit. The attribute output unit extracts attribute information of a corresponding point detected by the image correspondence detection unit from the knowledge database to output it as the attribute information of the drawing image.

Abstract: Since time hierarchically encoded video data needs to include video data of a basic hierarchical layer, and video data cannot be generated in which a frame belonging to an upper hierarchical layer is only encoded, even in a case in which only a part of frames is processed, a basic hierarchical layer frame is needed to be included, and thus, there has been a problem that video data in which only the frame belonging to the upper hierarchical layer is encoded cannot be separately processed. In the present invention, a variable length encoding unit is disposed which encodes, for each sequence, a basic hierarchical layer existence flag showing whether or not a basic hierarchical layer is included in the sequence.
