Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an analysis device including one or more memories and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to estimate an arrangement region of a group of products of a same type based on a sales floor image, and notify information on a display state of the group of products in the arrangement region estimated.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus predicts a waiting time by suppressing a reduction in accuracy of waiting-time prediction even if the number of people waiting in a line is small. The information processing apparatus includes a calculation unit that calculates a waiting time, based on a first set of counted objects in a case where the number of first set of counted objects is less than a predetermined number and based on a second set of counted objects in a case where the first set of counted objects is greater than or equal to the predetermined number.

Abstract: An identification apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire input data and an identification unit configured to identify a class to which the acquired input data belongs based on a classifier configured to identify a class to which the data belongs from among a plurality of classes that includes two or more classes having been set beforehand.

Abstract: A training apparatus includes one or more memories and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to generate a graph based on a path of an error backward propagation, assign an identifier to each node based on the path of the error backward propagation in the graph, and execute the error backward propagation based on the graph and on the identifier.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a moving object detection unit configured to detect a moving object from a captured image; a passage determination unit configured to determine that the moving object has passed through a predetermined position in the captured image; an image extraction unit configured to extract a region image of the moving object that has passed through the predetermined position from the captured image; and a display control unit configured to make a display unit display, in time series, the region image for each passing direction of the moving object that has passed through the predetermined position.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a detecting unit which detects an object from an input image, an extracting unit which extracts a feature amount of the object detected by the detecting unit, a similarity calculating unit which, in a case where a plurality of objects have been detected from the same input image by the detecting unit, calculates a degree of similarity of feature amounts of the plurality of objects, and an adjusting unit which adjusts a collating method of collating the plurality of objects based on respective feature amounts, on the basis of the degree of similarity calculated by the similarity calculating unit.

Abstract: A pixel structure and a fabricating method thereof are described. The method comprises forming a conductive layer, a data line and a source/drain at the same time. The conductive layer has a coupling portion and a connecting portion. The coupling portion is used as a top electrode of a pixel storage capacitor, and the connecting portion connects the coupling portion and the drain. Thereafter, a contact window is defined on the connecting portion, and a pixel electrode formed subsequently can be electrically connected to the connecting portion through the contact window. Thus, the pixel electrode, the conductive layer (includes the coupling portion) and the drain are electrically connected each other. Since the contact window is not formed above the pixel storage capacitor, the leakage of the pixel storage capacitor will not occur when the etching process of the contact window etches away the gate insulating layer.
