  • Publication number: 20240029449
    Abstract: A movement vector calculation unit calculates movement vectors between frames of a video image of an area ahead of a vehicle. The video image is input as a moving image. An area inference unit infers an area indicating a movable object included in the video image of the area ahead of the vehicle. A vector excluding unit excludes, from among the calculated movement vectors, movement vectors in an area inferred as being the area indicating the movable object. A behavior inference unit infers behavior of the vehicle based on the movement vectors from which those in the area inferred as being the area indicating the movable object have been excluded.

  • Publication number: 20220076125
    Abstract: The learning unit 81 learns a neural network. The linearization quantity determination unit 82 determines linearization quantity, which is a parameter included in an activation function used in the neural network, and which is a parameter that brings the activation function closer to a linear function by increasing or decreasing itself. The aggregation unit 83 replaces the activation function, which is determined to converge to a linear function by increasing or decreasing the linearization quantity, with the linear function, and aggregating weights among layers using the replaced linear function. The learning unit 81 calculates evaluation value based on output by the neural network in learning the neural network, and the linearization quantity determination unit 82 changes the linearization quantity when the evaluation value satisfies the predetermined criterion.
