Publication number: 20230386038Abstract: An information processing system includes a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, a movement control unit, and a state evaluation unit. The first acquisition unit acquires, from a first imaging unit, image data relating to a first image of a head of a subject that is captured at a first angle of view. The second acquisition unit acquires, from a second imaging unit, image data relating to a second image of an eye region of the subject that is captured at a second angle of view narrower than the first angle of view. The movement control unit moves a visual field range of the second imaging unit. The state evaluation unit evaluates a change in state of the eye of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2021Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicants: NEC CORPORATION, THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYOInventors: Shoji YACHIDA, Michiaki INOUE, Tomohiro SUEISHI
