Publication number: 20210158540Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2019Publication date: May 27, 2021Inventors: Hirofumi HIBI, Hiroaki NISHIMURA, Nikolaos GEORGIS
