Abstract: A device, apparatus, and method provide logic for processing information. In one implementation, a device may include an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image, and a transmission unit configured to transmit information associated with the image to an information processing apparatus, such as a server. The server may be associated with a first feature quantity dictionary. The device also may include a receiving unit configured to receive a second feature quantity dictionary from the server in response to the transmission. The second feature quantity dictionary may include less information than the first feature quantity dictionary, and the server may generate the second feature quantity dictionary based on the image information and the first feature quantity dictionary. The device may include an identification unit configured to identify an object within the image using the second feature quantity dictionary.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a control device, a control method, and a program that make it possible to estimate a self-position reliably with lower power consumption. An activation determination unit selects some of a plurality of cameras as activation cameras to be used for self-position estimation; and on the basis of the selection result of the activation cameras, an activation switching unit sets cameras taken as the activation cameras among the plurality of cameras to an activation state and causes the cameras to photograph images, and suspends the activation of the other cameras. A self-position estimation unit performs self-position estimation on the basis of images photographed by the activation cameras. Further, the activation determination unit selects the activation cameras again at a predetermined timing. The present technology can be applied to a self-position estimation system.
