  • Publication number: 20240112352
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a processing unit configured to execute, in frame periods corresponding to respective frames, an inference relating to the frame and training relating to the frame. When an inference relating to a first frame has been completed but training relating to the first frame has not been completed in a first frame period corresponding to the first frame, the processing unit executes training relating to the first frame and an inference and training relating to a second frame in a second frame period corresponding to the second frame subsequent to the first frame.

  • Publication number: 20230334820
    Abstract: An apparatus sets coefficients in a first array based on first information indicating an image capturing orientation of a first image, generates a first map by applying the coefficients to the first image, acquires a template feature corresponding to an object based on the first map, registers the template feature in an array based on the first information, sets coefficients in a second array based on second information indicating an image capturing orientation of a second image, generates a second map by applying the coefficients set in the second array to the second image, sets the template feature in a feature array based on the second information, performs a correlation calculation between the template feature set in the feature array and the second map, and detects the object from the second image based on a result of the correlation calculation.

  • Patent number: 11574188
    Abstract: There is provided with a data processing apparatus. An acquisition unit acquires feature plane data of a layer included in a neural network. A control unit outputs a first control signal corresponding to the layer for controlling first compression processing and a second control signal corresponding to the layer for controlling second compression processing. A first compression unit performs the first compression processing corresponding to the first control signal on the feature plane data. A second compression unit performs the second compression processing corresponding to the second control signal on the feature plane data after the first compression processing. A type of processing of the second compression processing is different from the first compression processing.
