Abstract: An acquiring unit of a depth estimation apparatus acquires an input image. In addition, a depth map generating unit inputs the input image acquired by the acquiring unit into a depth estimator for generating, from an image, a depth map in which a depth of a space that appears on the image is imparted to each pixel of the image, and generates an estimated depth map that represents a depth map corresponding to the input image. The depth estimator is a model having been learned in advance so as to reduce, with respect to each error between a depth of the estimated depth map and a depth of a correct-answer depth map that presents the depth map of a correct answer, a value of a loss function set such that a degree of increase of a loss value with respect to a pixel at which the error is larger than a threshold is smaller than a degree of increase of a loss value with respect to a pixel at which the error is equal to or smaller than the threshold.

Abstract: Provided is a point cloud analysis device that curbs a decrease in model estimation accuracy due to a laser measurement point cloud. A clustering unit (30) clusters a point cloud representing a three-dimensional point on an object obtained by a measurement unit mounted on a moving body and performing measurement while scanning a measurement position, within a scan line, to obtain a point cloud cluster. A central axis direction estimation unit (32) estimates a central axis direction based on the point cloud cluster. A direction-dependent local effective length estimation unit (34) estimates a local effective length based on an estimated central axis direction and an interval of scan lines, the local effective length being a length when a length of projection of the point cloud cluster in a central axis direction for each of the point cloud clusters is interpolated by an amount of a loss part of the point cloud.
