  • Publication number: 20240127629
    Abstract: A system includes a first image sensor that generates a first image signal by synchronously scanning all pixels at a prescribed timing, a second image sensor including an event-driven type vision sensor that, upon detecting a change in an intensity of incident light on each of the pixels, generates a second image signal asynchronously, an inertial sensor that acquires attitude information on the first image sensor and the second image sensor, a first computation processing device that recognizes a user on the basis of at least the second image signal and calculates coordinate information regarding the user on the basis of at least the second image signal, a second computation processing device that performs coordinate conversion on the coordinate information on the basis of the attitude information, and an image generation device that generates a display image which indicates a condition of the user, on the basis of the converted coordinate information.

  • Publication number: 20230394678
    Abstract: In combination, a detection section detects a target based on a first image signal from a first image sensor, a setting section sets an area of interest in which at least part of the target is included, a calculation section calculates, based on a second image signal from a second image sensor that asynchronously generates an image signal when a change in intensity of light incident on each of pixels is detected, a distribution of the second image signal in the area of interest, a tracking section tracks the detection target in the area of interest on the basis of at least one of the first image signal and the second image signal, a tracking controlling section discerns a movement of the detection target in the area of interest based on the tracking, and an information outputting section outputs a result of the tracking by the tracking section.

  • Publication number: 20230353860
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus generates a first image signal by synchronously scanning all pixels at a predetermined timing and performs image capturing in either a first imaging mode or a second imaging mode An information processing apparatus recognizes the user on the basis of the first image signal, calculates coordinate information regarding the user, determines whether the image capturing is performed in the first imaging mode or the second imaging mode, on the basis of the coordinate information, performs, in a case where it is determined that the image capturing is performed in the first imaging mode, a first process on the basis of the coordinate information calculated in the first imaging mode, and performs, in a case where it is determined that the image capturing is performed in the second imaging mode, a second process on the basis of the coordinate information calculated in the second imaging mode.

  • Patent number: 10255492
    Abstract: Image processing apparatus programmed to: continuously shoot a subject to obtain images, and detect the object and extract a position of the object from a three-dimensional position of the subject in the images; detect the person and extract a position of the person from the three-dimensional position, and extract, from the position of the person, part information pieces including respective positions of characteristic parts of the person; generate a pose class for each set of part information pieces, the part information pieces being similar to one another in correlation between parts of the person calculated from each of the part information pieces; identify a pose class to which the correlation between parts of the person belongs, among generated pose classes, when a distance between the person and the object is within a predetermined range; and store the identified pose class in association with the object.
