Abstract: An information processing system includes a mobile body including a holding device that holds an object and allows the object to be moved up and down and a marker disposed on the holding device, at least one imaging device disposed at the mobile body at a position not on a same line with respect to a direction in which the object is moved up and down and captures an image of surroundings of the mobile body, and circuitry to detect a position of the marker based on an image of the marker captured by the at least one imaging device to estimate a height of the object.

Abstract: An information processing system includes circuitry to read from a memory an environment map depicting a surrounding environment in which a mobile body including first and second imaging devices to capture monocular images moves. The circuitry determines a first position of the first imaging device on the environment map based on a monocular image captured by the first imaging device, determines a second position of the second imaging device on the environment map based on a monocular image captured by the second imaging device, generates correction information for correcting a scale of the environment map based on a distance between the first position and the second position on the environment map and a reference distance between the first imaging device and the second imaging device, and determines a position of the mobile body using the environment map and the correction information.

Abstract: An information processing method for acquiring location information of an object includes acquiring location information of the object based on location management information in which identification information of the object, the location information of the object, and time information indicating an acquisition time of the location information are associated; acquiring the time information associated with the acquired location information as time information indicating a time before movement of the object starts, based on the location management information; tracking, by image processing, the object in a captured moving image of surroundings of the object based on the location information of the object; and acquiring current location information of the object at an end of the movement based on a result of the tracking. In the tracking, the object is tracked in a part of the captured moving image starting from a moving image time corresponding to the acquired time information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure processes information about a position of an object moved by a mobile object, and includes an output unit configured to output the information about the position of the object. The information about the position of the object is obtained based on holding information indicating whether the object is held or not held by the mobile object and information about a position of the mobile object. The information about the position of the mobile object is obtained based on a captured image captured by an imaging device.
