  • Patent number: 11244467
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a recording medium that can estimate a three-dimensional position of a targeted point more accurately. The information processing apparatus includes: a targeted point estimation unit configured to identify probability maps indicating existence probabilities of a targeted point in a plurality of projection directions, on the basis of an input image; and a synthesis unit configured to identify a three-dimensional position of the targeted point on the basis of the probability maps in the plurality of projection directions.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120314957
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a multi-stage determining unit that includes determinators which each function as a node of an N-level tree structure (N is an integer value of 2 or more) in order to perform determination for classifying a determination target into at least one of a plurality of ranges. Each determinator performs determination of classifying the determination target into any one of two ranges, and the two ranges determined in each determinator include an overlapping portion. The present technology can be applied to an information processing apparatus that classifies data.
