Abstract: To provide an information processing apparatus capable of improving the efficiency of operation of a movable apparatus, an information processing apparatus comprises: a passing region calculation unit configured to calculate a passing region through which a movable apparatus passes; an object detection unit configured to detect an object around the movable apparatus by a sensor; and an object detection range setting unit configured to set an object detection range in which the object is detected by the object detection unit based on the passing region calculated by the passing region calculation unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory storing a program, and one or more processors that, by executing the program, function as an obtaining unit configured to obtain information relating to a posture of an imaging device that is imaging a region of a subject, and a determination unit configured to perform a determination, based on the information relating to the posture, regarding which region of the subject corresponds to the region imaged by the imaging device. The determination unit performs the determination based on the information relating to the posture obtained at a timing when a posture of the imaging device satisfies a predetermined condition.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus obtains information representing a region of interest from a three-dimensional image, and, when a projection direction of the three-dimensional image is changed, based on the projection direction and the information representing the region of interest, determines a parameter that indicates a thickness of projection used in projection processing. The image processing apparatus uses the determined parameter to generate a projection image by applying projection processing toward the projection direction to the three-dimensional image.

Abstract: An information display apparatus includes at least one processor programmed to cause the apparatus, among other things, to superpose, on an imaged image, information related to an object when an object of one or more objects is in a target area, and not to superpose, on the imaged image, the information related to an object when the object of the one or more objects is outside of the target area. In a case in which a percentage of the one or more objects existing in the imaged image does not exceed a threshold value, the whole imaged image is determined to be the target area without using a detected movement direction, the one or more objects recognizable in the imaged image are recognized, and the information related to the recognized one or more objects in the imaged image is superposed on the imaged image.

Abstract: An information display system capable of reducing a trouble about display caused by display of content information corresponding to numerous markers and reducing process loads and a control method of the information display system are provided. In this system, a movement speed and a movement direction of a client apparatus operated by a user are detected, and a size and a position of a marker recognition area for recognizing a marker in an imaged image are determined according to the detected movement speed and the detected movement direction. Then, the content information corresponding to the marker recognized in the marker recognition area is superposed on the imaged image and output to a display screen.

Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a display unit configured to display, when processing information representing an image process to be performed on an image to be displayed is associated with the image to be displayed, the image which has been subjected to the image process corresponding to the processing information after the image which has not been subjected to the image process is displayed.

Abstract: Display of a pointer on the display screen of a display output apparatus is controlled in accordance with first pointing information obtained from an input apparatus. Second pointing information obtained from an input apparatus of an information processing apparatus at another site connected via a network is received from the information processing apparatus at the other site. Control is performed on display of the received second pointing information regarding the display screen of the display output apparatus. A dedicated window for displaying the second pointing information is displayed in the foreground with respect to other windows displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus for data input in which input and editing can be performed through a simple operation is disclosed. The apparatus includes first determination means for determining whether drawing has been completed following input of coordinate data in the drawing mode; second determination means which, if completion of drawing has been determined, is for adopting drawing data, which has been drawn from input of coordinate data until completion of drawing, as a drawing object to be edited, and determining whether this drawing object has a portion that overlaps another object; and control means which, if it has been determined that the drawing object to be edited has a portion that overlaps another object, is for applying control to the drawing object to be edited in such a manner that this drawing object will no longer have a portion that overlaps another object.

Abstract: Disclosed is an information processing apparatus for data input in which input and editing can be performed through a simple operation, the apparatus having a coordinate input device and a display device and being operable in a drawing mode and an editing mode. The apparatus includes determination means for determining whether a change in coordinate data has occurred while drawing processing is being executed based upon coordinate data that has been input from the coordinate input device in the drawing mode, and control means for exercising control so as to transition to the editing mode if the determination means has determined that a state in which there is no change in coordinate data has continued for a preset period of time.
