  • Publication number: 20240092395
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to determine that a moving body has approached a collision hazard area, which is an area in which there is a possibility of collision with a collision factor, acquire a unique identifier list that is stored by associating information of the collision factor with a unique identifier linked to a space in which the collision factor exists, in a case in which it has been determined that the moving body has approached the collision hazard area, and perform control to the moving body so as to avoid a collision with the collision factor, according to the level of collision risk, based on the information of the collision factor that has been stored in the unique identifier list.

  • Publication number: 20230391259
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display that displays an image captured by an imaging unit that captures an image of a view behind a moving object, a half mirror that reflects the view behind the moving object and disposed on an anterior surface of the display, one or more memories storing instructions, and one or more processors executing the instructions to switch a state between a mirror surface display state where a reflection image on the half mirror is displayed and an image display state where the image is displayed on the display and perform adjustment so that a viewing angle of the image displayed on the display and a viewing angle reflected by the half mirror are approximately the same as each other while switching the state between the mirror surface display state and the image display state.

  • Patent number: 11829885
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that performs machine learning of a learning model for improving the accuracy of inference of an image even in a case where the characteristics of an image are changed by correction applied to the image. The image processing apparatus includes an image processor configured to perform image processing on a training image and a teacher image according to each of a plurality of correction conditions. Machine learning of the learning model is performed using the training image and the teacher image. A plurality of parameters obtained by performing the machine learning of the learning model are stored in association with the plurality of correction conditions, respectively.

  • Patent number: 7346282
    Abstract: An optical-space transmission apparatus for use in communication by using light propagating in a space includes a light-receiving unit, an optical system including a movable mirror and introducing light incident thereon to the light receiving unit with the movable mirror, a controller controlling drive of the movable mirror, and a detecting unit detecting an intensity of the light received in the light-receiving unit. The controller modifies a control characteristic of the movable mirror in accordance with a change in the received-light intensity.

  • Patent number: 7236706
    Abstract: A free space optics communication apparatus is provided which allows flexible setting in accordance with the number or distances of other apparatuses in single-to-multipoint communication. The free space optics communication apparatus has a movable mirror array which has a plurality of mirrors capable of reflecting a light signal from a light source and arranged in a matrix-like form, and a mirror control circuit for controlling the directions of the respective mirrors to form a plurality of mirror groups which reflect the light signal toward the other apparatuses in the movable mirror array. The number of the mirror groups formed in the movable mirror array through the control of the directions of the mirrors by the mirror control circuit is changeable.
