  • Patent number: 11926316
    Abstract: A driving assist ECU determines that a current situation is a specific situation where it is predicted that there is no object that is about to enter an adjacent lane from an area outside of a host vehicle road on which a host vehicle is traveling, when a road-side object is detected at a part around an edge of the adjacent lane, and/or when a white line painted to define the adjacent lane is detected at the part around the edge of the adjacent lane and no object near the detected white line is detected. The driving assist ECU does not perform a steering control for avoiding a collision, the steering control for letting the vehicle enter the adjacent lane, when it is not determined that the current situation is the specific situation.

  • Patent number: 11798227
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided that are used to generate a three-dimensional model in which a more natural texture is set for an occlusion region of which a texture is not obtained from a two-dimensional image. A three-dimensional shape restoring section that generates a three-dimensional model on the basis of a two-dimensional image, and a texture processor that attaches a texture to the three-dimensional model are included. The texture processor acquires, from a DB, an existing texture similar to a texture acquired from the two-dimensional image, calculates a conversion function that is used so that the existing texture has a color closer to the color of the acquired texture, and sets, for a region of which a texture is not acquired from the two-dimensional image, a texture calculated by applying the conversion function to the existing texture.

  • Publication number: 20230071947
    Abstract: An information processing system (1) includes a blend shape parameter acquisition unit (11), a correction parameter acquisition unit (12), and a face generation unit (13). The blend shape parameter acquisition unit (11) acquires a weight of a blend shape model (BSM) to be blended with a base model (BM) as a blend shape parameter (a). The correction parameter acquisition unit (12) acquires a magnitude of a correction factor (CF) that affects an expression of the blend shape model (BSM) as a correction parameter (?). The face generation unit (13) corrects a transformation (P) between the base model (BM) and the blend shape model (BSM) on the basis of a correction equation (M) associated with the correction factor (CF) and the blend shape model (BSM) and generates a face of a character using the corrected transformation (Pc), the blend shape parameter (?), and the correction parameter (?).

A region segmentation section segments an image at another base into a plurality of regions, and an estimation section estimates a lighting environment in which the image at the other base has been captured, by performing an image analysis on the image as a whole at the other base and on each region in the image at the other base. Then, the color correction section performs color correction, in accordance with a light-source color at the self base, on the image at the other base that has a light-source color corresponding to the lighting environment. For example, the present technology is applicable to a remote communication system using an image received and transmitted between the other base and the self base.
