  • Patent number: 12361715
    Abstract: An information processing device obtains each piece of image data captured within a period of time from entering until exiting of a person at a store. The information processing device identifies joint positions of a skeleton related to the person by analyzing each piece of the image data. The information processing device identifies, as an action which indicates a degree of interest of the person in the product, an action performed by the person to a product in the store from the entering until the exiting, on a basis of the joint positions of the skeleton. The information processing device generates a detection rule that correlates the identified action and the product with each other.

  • Patent number: 12243321
    Abstract: A method for determining a semantic free space in an environment of a vehicle comprises capturing a two dimensional visual image from the environment of the vehicle via a camera and determining a limitation of a free space within the visual image. Via a sensor, distance data of objects are captured and assigned to the visual image, and the limitation of the free space is transferred to a bird's-eye view based on the assigned distance data. For objects identified in the visual image a respective bounding box and a respective classification are determined. Objects limiting the free space are selected, and their bounding box is assigned to the limitation of the free space in the bird's-eye view. Finally, segments of the limitation of the free space are classified according to the classification of each bounding box of the selected objects.
