  • Publication number: 20240127471
    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.

  • Patent number: 11527075
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, an information processing apparatus includes an object region detecting unit, a local region detecting unit, an object specifying unit. The object region detecting unit is configured to detect an object region based on one of distance information and luminance information. The local region detecting unit is configured to, when a divided area obtained by dividing the detected object region meets a predetermined condition, detect the divided area as a local region. The object specifying unit is configured to specify, as a specification target object, the object region in which the local region is continuously detected.

  • Patent number: 11030761
    Abstract: An information processing device includes an image analyzing unit. The image analyzing unit includes an object region setting unit configured to set an object region, for image information obtained by capturing an imaging range, the object region corresponding to an object existing in the imaging range; a luminance information acquiring unit configured to acquire luminance information indicating luminance in the imaging range; and a correcting unit configured to correct the object region based on the luminance information in a luminance detection region set in a lower part of the object region.

  • Publication number: 20200074212
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: a first generation unit configured to generate first information in which a horizontal direction position and a depth direction position of an object are associated with each other from information in which a vertical direction position, the horizontal direction position, and the depth direction position of the object are associated with each other; a first detection unit configured to detect one region indicating the object based on the first information; a second generation unit configured to generate, from the information in which the vertical direction position, the horizontal direction position, and the depth direction position of the object are associated with each other, second information having separation performance higher than separation performance of the first information in which the horizontal direction position and the depth direction position of the object are associated with each other; a second detection unit configured to detect a plurality of reg

  • Patent number: 10178361
    Abstract: To achieve an image pickup element that can utilize polarized light as well as non-polarized light to image or capture an object, an image pickup element is provided to an imaging apparatus that forms an image of an object to be imaged onto a light-receiving surface of an image sensor, acquires a polarized filter image together with a regular luminance image, and executes image processing on the acquired images. The image pickup element includes, on a light-receiving surface LRS of the image sensor IMS, a polarizing filter PFL including at least two kinds of pixels having different transmission and polarization properties from each other.
