  • Patent number: 11373326
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to output a histogram for inspecting a state of a target object based on presence of a peak in a specific class in the histogram, the histogram representing a distribution of depth values from a measurement apparatus to the target object, the information processing apparatus including an acquisition unit configured to acquire depth information obtained from a result of measurement of a depth value from the measurement apparatus to the target object by the measurement apparatus and an output unit configured to output a histogram based on the acquired depth information so that a frequency of a class including a predetermined depth value to be applied when the depth value is not obtained is reduced.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10545799
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that communicates with a plurality of servers in which use cost occurs at every predetermined time in executing a task obtains information indicating progress of the task from a first server executing the task. The information processing apparatus determines whether the progress of the task is delayed, based on the obtained information at timing based on the predetermined time at which the use cost occurs next time and time needed to transfer the task. If the progress of the task is determined to be delayed, the information processing apparatus selects a second server with a higher throughput than that of the first server, and instructs the selected second server to execute the task.

  • Publication number: 20190254635
    Abstract: An information-processing apparatus identifies plural kinds of photoacoustic images that are captured on the basis of the same photoacoustic signal and that are stored in a saving unit, and determines whether at least one of the plural kinds of photoacoustic images is to be deleted from the saving unit on the basis of information about the kind of a photoacoustic image that is included in the plural kinds of photoacoustic images that are identified.
