  • Publication number: 20210178265
    Abstract: An image obtaining section of an information processing apparatus obtains polarized light images in a plurality of directions from an imaging device provided to a moving body. A polarization degree obtaining section of an image analyzing section obtains a degree of polarization on the basis of direction dependence of luminance of polarized light. A high polarization degree region evaluating section detects the peripheral edge of a play field on which the moving body is present, by evaluating the shape of a high polarization degree region having degrees of polarization higher than a threshold value in a state in which the high polarization degree region is overlooked. An output data generating section generates and outputs output data for avoiding movement to the peripheral edge.

  • Patent number: 10957070
    Abstract: An operation object includes a polyhedron. The polyhedron includes characteristic surfaces formed by cutting each vertex of a cube at different angles. An information processing apparatus acquires a normal vector of each surface from a polarized image thereof. Further, the information processing apparatus identifies the characteristic surface by defining, as a characteristic amount, an angle formed by an average vector Na of normal vectors N1, N2, and N3 of reference surfaces that orthogonally intersect each other and a normal vector N0 of the characteristic surface surrounded by the reference surfaces. The specification result and the normal vectors thereof are used to acquire the position and orientation of the operation object.
