  • Region extraction apparatus and region extraction method
    Patent number: 11216952
    Abstract: A region extraction apparatus provided with a candidate extraction unit, a categorization unit and a region extraction unit. The candidate extraction unit extracts a difference region where a first ground surface image photographed from above at a first time point and a second ground surface image photographed at a second time point are different. The categorization unit estimates a first category of a first object photographed in correspondence with a position in the first ground surface image, calculates a first categorization image indicating a relationship between the position of the first object and the first category, estimates a second category of a second object photographed in correspondence with a position in the second ground surface image and calculates a second categorization image indicating a relationship between the position of the second object and the second category. The region extraction unit extracts an extraction region from the difference region.
