  • Publication number: 20240269830
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a region calculation unit. The region calculation unit calculates, on the basis of operation information regarding an operation performed on a target object and an image of the target object, a hand area when the operation is performed on the target object by using an image generator or a predictor. This enables a high-precision operation. Moreover, a dataset used for the image generator and the predictor can be collected more easily. Therefore, a massive amount of datasets can be built and can be applied to various target objects.
