  • Publication number: 20230230362
    Abstract: In an information processing device (a server device), a first acquirer acquires multiple captured images of the outside of a vehicle. A detector detects, from acquired multiple captured images, multiple images related to unsafe driving using a learned model. An image extractor extracts, from detected multiple images related to unsafe driving, an image to be a candidate for relearning data of the learned model.

  • Publication number: 20230196914
    Abstract: A stop detection device includes: an acquirer that acquires multiple captured images captured in chronological order by a camera mounted on a vehicle; an image processor that performs image processing on acquired multiple captured images; and a detector that detects vehicle speed of a vehicle at a stop position based on a result of image processing. The image processor includes a stop position identification unit that detects a marking indicating a stop position from a captured image to identify a stop position, and a vehicle speed calculation unit that calculates vehicle speed by comparing captured images in chronological order. The vehicle speed calculation unit excludes a specific region from each of multiple captured images to compare captured images.
