  • Patent number: 11967101
    Abstract: The present invention provides a motion capture with a high accuracy which can replace an optical motion capture technology, without attaching optical markers and sensors to a subject. A subject with an articulated structure has a plurality of feature points in the body of the subject including a plurality of joints wherein a distance between adjacent feature points is obtained as a constant. A spatial distribution of a likelihood of a position of each feature point is obtained based on a single input image or a plurality of input images taken at the same time. One or a plurality of position candidates corresponding to each feature point are obtained based on the spatial distribution of the likelihood of the position of each feature point. Each join angle is obtained by performing an optimization calculation based on inverse kinematics using the candidates and the articulated structure.

  • Publication number: 20240101086
    Abstract: A motion manager that is mounted on a vehicle includes a processor and a memory. The processor receives a motion request that corresponds to an application from individual applications. The processor arbitrates the received motion request. The processor generates, based on an arbitration result, an instruction value of an operation request to be output to a brake control unit. The memory stores, in advance, type information of an actuator to be controlled by the brake control unit. The processor generates the instruction value of the operation request using the type information.
