  • Publication number: 20240380954
    Abstract: An image processing device (3000) comprises an input unit (3020) and a presentation unit (3040). The input unit (3020) accepts an input of an operation for movement, on a captured image captured by a camera, of a first image which is superimposed on the captured image on the basis of a predetermined camera parameter indicating the position and attitude of the camera and which indicates a target object having a predetermined shape and a predetermined size set in a real space. The presentation unit (3040) presents the first image indicating the target object in a manner of view corresponding to a position on the captured image after the movement on the basis of the camera parameter.

  • Publication number: 20240203159
    Abstract: In order to acquire recognition environment information impacting the recognition accuracy of a recognition engine, an information processing device 100 comprises a detection unit 101 and an environment acquisition unit 102. The detection unit 101 detects a marker, which has been disposed within a recognition target zone for the purpose of acquiring information, from an image captured by means of an imaging device which captures images of objects located within the recognition target zone. The environment acquisition unit 102 acquires the recognition environment information based on image information of the detected marker. The recognition environment information is information representing the way in which a recognition target object is reproduced in an image captured by the imaging device when said imaging device captures an image of the recognition target object located within the recognition target zone.

  • Patent number: 12014563
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) includes a recognizer (2020). An image (10) is input to the recognizer (2020). The recognizer (2020) outputs, for a crowd included in the input image (10), a label (30) describing a type of the crowd and structure information (40) describing a structure of the crowd. The structure information (40) indicates a location and a direction of an object included in the crowd. The information processing apparatus (2000) acquires training data (50) which includes a training image (52), a training label (54), and training structure information (56). The information processing apparatus (2000) performs training of the recognizer (2020) using the label (30) and the structure information (40), which are acquired by inputting the training image (52) with respect to the recognizer (2020, and the training label (54) and the training structure information (56).
