  • Publication number: 20210350570
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program that can reduce the amount of processing required for a series of processing from detection to recognition of an object in a high-resolution image. An acquisition unit acquires, from a first resolution image, a second resolution image having a lower resolution than the first resolution image, a classification unit classifies an object included in the second resolution image, an identification unit identifies an object area corresponding to the object of a predetermined classification in the first resolution image, and a recognition unit performs recognition processing of the object on the object area identified in the first resolution image. The technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to a camera system of a remote control tower, for example.

  • Publication number: 20210158540
    Abstract: An electronic device includes circuitry that receives first identification information of a moving object from the moving object. A sub-image is detected from an image of the moving object based on application of a first neural network model on the image. The sub-image includes second identification information of the moving object. The first neural network model is trained to detect a moving object based on one or more first images corresponding to one or more moving objects. The second identification information is extracted from the sub-image based on application of a second neural network model on the sub-image. The second neural network model is trained to determine text information based one or more second images corresponding to text information. The first identification information is compared with the second identification information. The moving object is identified based on the comparison. Thereafter, the moving object is controlled based on the identification.
