  • Patent number: 10657658
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a transformation matrix deriving device includes a first trajectory generator, a second trajectory generator, a trajectory matcher, and a deriver. The first trajectory generator is configured to generate a first trajectory of a moving object, detected from a video, in a first coordinate system. The second trajectory generator is configured to generate a second trajectory of a moving object in a second coordinate system, from time-series data of positional information. The trajectory matcher is configured to associate the first trajectory with the second trajectory to be a motion trajectory of the same moving object based on a similarity between the first trajectory and the second trajectory. The deriver is configured to derive a transformation matrix that transforms the second coordinate system into the first coordinate system by using the first trajectory and the second trajectory associated with each other.

  • Patent number: 10235776
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing device includes processing circuitry. The circuitry acquires a first picture including a first object and a second object; and acquires a second picture including the first object and an object different from the first object. The circuitry generates first data to display first associated information; and generates second data to display the first associated information superimposed onto the second picture in response to a change between a first positional relationship in the first picture and a second positional relationship in the second picture, the first positional relationship being a relative positional relationship between the first and second objects in the first picture. The second positional relationship is a relative positional relationship between the first object and the object different from the first object in the second picture.

  • Patent number: 10217083
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, processing circuitry of an apparatus for managing articles acquires a check image by capturing labels including label information of a character string. The processing circuitry also acquires plan data including a plurality of plan areas indicating installation positions of the labels in the shelf and the label information of the labels assigned to each of the plan areas. The processing circuitry detects a character area of the character string displayed on each of the labels from the check image and recognizes characters in the character areas. The processing circuitry positions and superimposes the check image and the plan data and associates the character areas and the plan areas. The processing circuitry compares the label information of the associated plan areas and the recognition information of the character areas and assigns attributes to the character areas or the plan areas.
