  • Publication number: 20240037976
    Abstract: The present invention realizes an information processing device capable of accurately differentiating an object from within an imaged image regardless of imaging conditions. The present invention also realizes an information processing method and a control program. A first circumscribed polygon region calculation unit (32) calculates a first circumscribed polygon region as a convex hull circumscribed region that contains a feature region. A principal axis of inertia calculation unit (33) calculates a principal axis of inertia for the feature region. A region division unit (34) uses the principal axis of inertia to divide the feature region. On the basis of the area ratio of the two second circumscribed polygon regions and the first circumscribed polygon region as convex hull circumscribed regions that respectively contain the divided feature regions, a region selection unit (36) selects either the first circumscribed polygon region or the two second circumscribed polygon regions.

  • Publication number: 20240029719
    Abstract: A single E2E multitask model includes a speech recognition model and an endpointer model. The speech recognition model includes an audio encoder configured to encode a sequence of audio frames into corresponding higher-order feature representations, and a decoder configured to generate probability distributions over possible speech recognition hypotheses for the sequence of audio frames based on the higher-order feature representations. The endpointer model is configured to operate between a VAD mode and an EOQ detection mode. During the VAD mode, the endpointer model receives input audio frames, and determines, for each input audio frame, whether the input audio frame includes speech. During the EOQ detection mode, the endpointer model receives latent representations for the sequence of audio frames output from the audio encoder, and determines, for each of the latent representation, whether the latent representation includes final silence.
