  • Patent number: 11586785
    Abstract: To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that make it possible to suitably provide three-dimensional property information. A floor-plan identifying unit that generates floor plan information on the basis of a floor plan image and a model generating unit that generates a three-dimensional model using the floor plan information are included. The floor-plan identifying unit includes: a line-segment detecting unit that detects a line segment corresponding to a wall on a floor plan, a segmentation processing unit that identifies a room region corresponding to a room on the floor plan, a character recognizing unit that recognizes a character string included in the floor plan image, a fixture detecting unit that detects a fixture sign included in the floor plan image, and an integration unit that identifies a type of room of the room region and complements a room structure.

  • Publication number: 20180365778
    Abstract: Provided are an information processing system and an information processing method with which real estate property information can be provided favorably in accordance with image content. Included are means for managing a plurality of images relating to a real estate property together with image evaluation information that represents objects shown on the images and is attached thereto using a first evaluation model generated by machine learning, means for managing entry evaluation values that relate to entries respectively representing a plurality of real estate properties, and are calculated using one or more pieces of the image evaluation information associated with each of the plurality of real estate properties, and means for outputting a list of the entries relating to the plurality of real estate properties, an order of the entries on the list being determined in accordance with the entry evaluation values.

  • Patent number: 8762404
    Abstract: A dialogical information search system is realized by comprehensively utilizing different kinds of ontologies: a library classification system and a Wikipedia category. A new information search infrastructure is thus realized by comprehensively utilizing the different ontologies of library classification system and Wikipedia category. By virtue of this, a new information search paradigm can be promoted to the world: an in-depth search is realized by utilizing a library with the Web as a clue. This, as a result, contributes to improving literacy of the whole society, and conduces to rediscovering the significance of existence of libraries and further to realizing electronic libraries.
