Abstract: An information processing device includes a learning data acquisition processing unit. The learning data acquisition processing unit sequentially acquires, from a ray tracer, ray sample data generated by ray simulation by the ray tracer. The learning data acquisition processing unit reconstructs the ray sample data sequentially acquired from the ray tracer, and generates learning data of an inference model. The learning data includes a student image and a teacher image for learning the inference model.

Abstract: Quality improvement processing to which a learning result is applied can be performed appropriately even if the signal characteristics of an input signal are different from the signal characteristics of student data at the time of learning. A quality improvement processing unit applies quality improvement processing to an input signal to obtain an output signal using a learning result obtained using a signal of a first domain having first signal characteristics as student data. A domain conversion unit converts the input signal to a signal of the first domain and sends the same to a quality improvement processing unit when the input signal is a signal of a second domain having second signal characteristics different from the first signal characteristics.

Abstract: To enhance identification accuracy for the external environment of a movable object. Acquired is image data having an image feature (such as area, date and time, and weather) corresponding to a movement scene of the movable object. Learning with the image data is performed to acquire an inference DNN coefficient for identification of the external environment of the movable object from the image data of the movement scene. For example, the external environment is identified on the basis of, for example, semantic segmentation or depth. The inference DNN to which the inference DNN coefficient is set enables accurate identification of the external environment of the movable object from the image data of the movement scene.

Abstract: To render high-quality model data by ray tracing in a short time. An information processing apparatus includes: a pre-rendering unit that pre-renders model data by ray tracing and generates a pre-rendered image; a prediction unit that predicts a difficulty level of restoration in the pre-rendered image; a rendering condition determination unit that determines a rendering condition on the basis of the difficulty level of the restoration and generates an adaptive control signal for setting the rendering condition, the rendering condition specifying resolution and samples per pixel (SPP) for each of elements in the pre-rendered image; a rendering unit that generates an adaptively rendered image by rendering the model data by ray tracing in accordance with the rendering condition for each of the elements set to the adaptive control signal; and a rendered image restoration unit that restores the adaptively rendered image by super resolution and denoising and generates a final rendered image.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus to create a rendered video by a ray tracing method at higher speed. The information processing apparatus includes: a renderer that renders model data by a ray tracing method and creates a ray traced video, and renders the model data by a method different from the ray tracing method and creates an additional video; and a video synthesis unit that synthesizes the additional video and the ray traced video and creates a synthesized video.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus amplifies signal voltage resulting from voltage conversion of signal charge obtained by photoelectric conversion of an optical image of an object and then performs digital conversion to the signal voltage. The imaging apparatus includes an amplifier circuit that amplifies the signal voltage using two or more amplification factors that are set, a weight determining unit configured to determine weights for the respective signals subjected to the digital conversion after the amplification based on the two or more amplification factors, and a combining unit configured to combine the two or more signals subjected to the digital conversion after the amplification using the weights.
