Abstract: To enhance identification accuracy for the external environment of a movable object. Acquired is image data having an image feature (such as area, date and time, and weather) corresponding to a movement scene of the movable object. Learning with the image data is performed to acquire an inference DNN coefficient for identification of the external environment of the movable object from the image data of the movement scene. For example, the external environment is identified on the basis of, for example, semantic segmentation or depth. The inference DNN to which the inference DNN coefficient is set enables accurate identification of the external environment of the movable object from the image data of the movement scene.

Abstract: Quality improvement processing to which a learning result is applied can be performed appropriately even if the signal characteristics of an input signal are different from the signal characteristics of student data at the time of learning. A quality improvement processing unit applies quality improvement processing to an input signal to obtain an output signal using a learning result obtained using a signal of a first domain having first signal characteristics as student data. A domain conversion unit converts the input signal to a signal of the first domain and sends the same to a quality improvement processing unit when the input signal is a signal of a second domain having second signal characteristics different from the first signal characteristics.
