  • Publication number: 20230298366
    Abstract: An object recognition unit recognizes an object in an input image by using an object recognition model. A recognition precision determination unit determines a precision of recognition of the object in the input image. A supervised image conversion unit converts the input image for which the precision of recognition of the object is lower than a predetermined threshold value into a supervised image by labeling the input image based on a feature amount of the input image. A transfer learning unit applies transfer learning to the object recognition model by using the supervised image as training data to update the object recognition model.

    Abstract: A far-infrared image training data acquisition unit acquires a far-infrared image in a first predetermined time zone. A visible light image training data acquisition unit acquires a visible light image in a second predetermined time zone. A visible light image generation model training unit machine-learns the far-infrared image in the first predetermined time zone and the visible light image in the second predetermined time zone as training data by a generative adversarial network, and generates a trained generation model, which generates the visible light image in the second predetermined time zone from the far-infrared image in the first predetermined time zone. Through machine learning by a generative adversarial network, the visible light image generation model training unit further generates a trained identification model, which identifies whether or not the far-infrared image is a far-infrared image captured in the first predetermined time zone.
