  • Publication number: 20220161810
    Abstract: A sensor acquisition unit acquires an output result of a sensor mounted in a vehicle. An arithmetic unit uses a machine learning algorithm in which the output result of the sensor acquired by the sensor acquisition unit is set as an input, to calculate an inference result for controlling the vehicle. A degree of reliability estimation unit determines the degree of similarity between the output result acquired by the sensor acquisition unit and training data which has been used for learning of the machine learning algorithm, and estimates the degree of reliability of the inference result calculated by the arithmetic unit on the basis of the degree of similarity. A control output unit adds the degree of reliability estimated by the degree of reliability estimation unit to the inference result calculated by the arithmetic unit, and outputs the inference result with the degree of reliability as vehicle control information.

  • Patent number: 11206303
    Abstract: A first evaluation-value calculation unit calculates, using data on a captured image outputted by an image-capturing unit, a first evaluation value related to an image quality of the captured image. An environment acquisition unit acquires environmental information indicating an image-capturing environment at the time the captured image is taken by the image-capturing unit. A second evaluation-value calculation unit calculates, using the environmental information acquired by the environment acquisition unit, a second evaluation value related to the image-capturing environment at the time the captured image is taken by the image-capturing unit. A transmission determination unit determines, on the basis of at least one of the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value, whether or not the data on the captured image is to be transmitted to a server.
