Abstract: Provided is a map information processing device which contributes to the improvement of high-precision map verification performance by generating road information at a traffic lane level for a verification purpose by functioning as a means for extracting a road area corresponding to a road and a demarcation line corresponding to a traffic lane from an aerial image (for example, a ground photo photographed from an aircraft or a satellite), inferring the position of an object/structure (occlusion) which may cover the road, determining whether or not the demarcation line in the vicinity of the occlusion forms a continuous line by using the inferred occlusion position and demarcation line information, and next determining whether or not the traffic lane in the vicinity of the occlusion has continuity such that a misunderstanding about the continuity of the road when the presence of no occlusion is possible can be avoided to suppress the inclusion of incorrect information.

Abstract: In a method for producing hydrogen and carboxylic acid, a primary alcohol of 1 to 7 carbon atoms and water are reacted by being continuously introduced into a flow reactor packed with a solid catalyst consisting of an alloy of ruthenium and tin on a support and passed through the reactor under temperature and pressure conditions at which the water assumes a gaseous state. This method enables hydrogen and carboxylic acid to be produced in a high yield or at a high purity from a primary alcohol and water in a short time and by simple operations.
