  • Publication number: 20250238928
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus (10) includes an image processing unit (110) and a risk information generation unit (120). The image processing unit (110) acquires and processes an image generated by an image capture apparatus (20), that is, an image including a plurality of persons. As an example, the image processing unit (110) sets a person being at least part of the plurality of persons as a reference person and computes a distance (first distance) between the reference person and the closest person to the reference person. By using the first distance, the risk information generation unit (120) generates infection risk information in a target region being an image capture target of the image capture apparatus (20).

  • Patent number: 12147962
    Abstract: An article information deduction apparatus (10) includes an acquisition unit (110) and an output unit (120). The acquisition unit (110) acquires data based on a change in a detected value of a weight sensor (30) (hereinafter described as weight change data). For example, the acquisition unit (110) determines data acquired by chronologically arranging data acquired from the weight sensor (30) as weight change data. Further, the acquisition unit (110) acquires data indicating a movement of a hand of a person positioned in a shelf-front space (hereinafter described as movement data). For example, the acquisition unit (110) acquires data acquired by chronologically arranging data output from a depth sensor (40) to the article information deduction apparatus (10) as movement data. The output unit (120) outputs article determination information of the article deduced to be taken out by the hand of the person positioned in the shelf-front space, by using the weight change data and the movement data.

  • Publication number: 20240029017
    Abstract: This information processing device has a determination unit and a generation unit. When a change in the display state of a product on a product shelf is detected, the determination unit determines whether the change in the display state has been made by a store employee. For example, the change in the display state of a product on the product shelf can be detected by a detection unit such as a weight sensor or a distance sensor. In the case of a weight sensor the change in the display state would be a change in the weight of the product shelf. The generation unit generates shelf allocation information when the change in the display state has been made by a store employee.
