Publication number: 20230230362Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Kenki UEDA, Ryosuke TACHIBANA, Shinichiro KAWABATA, Takashi KITAGAWA
