Abstract: The present technique relates to an information processing device, an information processing method and a program which can accumulate sufficient movement history data with a little power consumption. A similarity search unit searches for a past route similar to the immediate movement history which is acquired by a position sensor unit and which has time series position data, from the search data stored in a past history DB. A fitness determination unit determines whether or not goodness of fit of the past route searched by the similarity search unit and the immediate movement history is a predetermined threshold or more. A sensor control unit controls an acquisition interval of the position data of the position sensor unit according to a determination result of the fitness determination unit. The technique of this disclosure is applicable to a prediction device which, for example, acquires position data and predicts a predicted route.

Abstract: An object detecting device for detecting an object in a given gradation image. A scaling section generates scaled images by scaling down a gradation image input from an image output section. A scanning section sequentially manipulates the scaled images and cutting out window images from them and a discriminator judges if each window image is an object or not. The discriminator includes a plurality of weak discriminators that are learned in a group by boosting and an adder for making a weighted majority decision from the outputs of the weak discriminators. Each of the weak discriminators outputs an estimate of the likelihood of a window image to be an object or not by using the difference of the luminance values between two pixels. The discriminator suspends the operation of computing estimates for a window image that is judged to be a non-object, using a threshold value that is learned in advance.
