  • Patent number: 12379727
    Abstract: An anomaly detection device includes processing circuitry and a memory. The memory stores map data and association data. The map data defines a map. The map receives, as input data, manipulation value data and the image data of the vehicle, thereby outputting, as output data, a state ID corresponding to an anomaly state related to the vehicle. The association data associates an anomaly state related to the vehicle with the state ID. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire the manipulation value data, acquire the image data from a camera mounted in the vehicle, input, as the input data, the manipulation value data and the image data, to the map, thereby acquiring, as the output data, the state ID from the map, and identify the anomaly state related to the vehicle based on the state ID acquired from the map and the association data.
