  • Publication number: 20200286254
    Abstract: An image recognition device includes: an image processing device that acquires a feature amount from an image; and an identification device that determines whether a prescribed identification object is present in the image, and identifies the identification object. The identification device includes a BNN that has learned the identification object in advance, and performs identification processing by performing a binary calculation with the BNN on the feature amount acquired by the image processing device. Then, the identification device selects a portion effective for identification from among high-dimensional feature amounts output by the image processing device to reduce the dimensions used in identification processing, and copies low-dimensional feature amounts output by the image processing device to increase dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20200242425
    Abstract: A spatio-temporal image recognition device includes spatio-temporal image data generation units for converting moving-image data which continuously holds spatial information and temporal information to spatio-temporal image data, and they scan the moving-image data on scanning paths different from each other. The spatio-temporal image data generation units generate spatio-temporal image data scanned on the scanning paths different from each other and output them to an image recognition unit. The image recognition unit generates two-dimensional feature maps by individual convolution process of the spatio-temporal image data and then, integrates them, analyzes them by a neural network, and outputs an image recognition result.

  • Publication number: 20200160043
    Abstract: An image recognition device executes a Hilbert scan of frame image data constituting moving-image data to generate one-dimensional spatial image data, and further arrays the one-dimensional spatial image data in a time direction to generate two-dimensional spatio-temporal image data that holds spatial information and temporal information. The image recognition device converts the moving-image data into the two-dimensional spatio-temporal image data while holding the spatial and temporal information. By means of a CNN unit, the image recognition device executes a convolution process wherein a two-dimensional filter is used on the spatio-temporal image data to image-recognize a behavior of a pedestrian who is a recognition object.

  • Publication number: 20200005467
    Abstract: An image processing device has a function for plotting a luminance gradient co-occurrence pair of an image on a feature plane and applying an EM algorithm to form a GMM. The device learns a pedestrian image and creates a GMM, subsequently learns a background image and creates a GMM, and calculates a difference between the two and generates a GMM for relearning based on the calculation. The device plots a sample that conforms to the GMM for relearning on the feature plane by applying an inverse function theorem. The device forms a GMM that represents the distribution of samples at a designated mixed number and thereby forms a standard GMM that serves as a standard for image recognition. When this mixed number is set to less than a mixed number designated earlier, the dimensions with which an image is analyzed are reduced, making it possible to reduce calculation costs.

  • Publication number: 20190392249
    Abstract: An image processing device converts an image that is a recognition object image to high-resolution, medium-resolution, and low-resolution images. The device sets the pixel of interest of the high-resolution image, and votes the co-occurrence in a gradient direction with offset pixels, the co-occurrence in the gradient direction pixels in the medium-resolution image, and the co-occurrence in the gradient direction pixels in the low-resolution image, to a co-occurrence matrix. The device creates such a co-occurrence matrix for each pixel combination and for each resolution. The device executes the process on each of the pixels of the high-resolution image, and creates a co-occurrence histogram wherein the elements of a plurality of co-occurrence matrices are arranged in a line. The device normalizes the co-occurrence histogram and extracts, as a feature quantity of the image, a vector quantity having as a component a frequency resulting from the normalization.
