Abstract: Provided is a point cloud analysis device that curbs a decrease in model estimation accuracy due to a laser measurement point cloud. A clustering unit (30) clusters a point cloud representing a three-dimensional point on an object obtained by a measurement unit mounted on a moving body and performing measurement while scanning a measurement position, within a scan line, to obtain a point cloud cluster. A central axis direction estimation unit (32) estimates a central axis direction based on the point cloud cluster. A direction-dependent local effective length estimation unit (34) estimates a local effective length based on an estimated central axis direction and an interval of scan lines, the local effective length being a length when a length of projection of the point cloud cluster in a central axis direction for each of the point cloud clusters is interpolated by an amount of a loss part of the point cloud.

Abstract: A program causes a processor to acquire a first position coordinate indicating a position of a first mobile terminal of a first user, and acquire a second position coordinate indicating a position of a second mobile terminal of a second user. The program causes the processor to generate a virtual space image including a space corresponding to a real space in a predetermined area including the first position coordinate, and a second user icon corresponding to the second position coordinate in the real space. The program causes the processor to cause the first mobile terminal to display the virtual space image. The program causes the processor to acquire data associated with the second user and cause the first mobile terminal to display data associated with the second user by linking the data with the virtual space image.
