Publication number: 20240303990Abstract: An image processing apparatus (10) includes an image acquisition unit (110), an inference unit (120), and an output unit (130). The image acquisition unit (110) acquires an image from a terminal (20). This image includes a product in a part of its area. The inference unit (120) processes the image acquired by the image acquisition unit (110), and thereby generates subject inference data indicating an inference result of a type of an image capture subject. For example, the inference unit (120) processes an area around the product in the image, and thereby generates the subject inference data. The output unit (130) performs output based on the subject inference data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2021Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicants: NEC Corporation, NEC Nexsolutions, Ltd.Inventors: Rika SUGIMOTO, Mayu OKIYAMA, Koji MATSUTOMI, Takuo DAIKAKU, Yohei HIROSE
