A model generation method includes specifying image coordinates that fall within a two-dimensional image obtained by capturing at least a mobile object and that correspond to at least one point among vertexes of a rectangular shape formed when an outer shape of the mobile object viewed from above is projected on a road, as a key point of the mobile object, and creating the two-dimensional image, to which information on the key point is added, as training data, and generating a machine learning model that outputs the key point from a two-dimensional image obtained by capturing at least a mobile object, by performing machine learning using the training data.

An information collection system includes a plurality of vehicles and a server. The server is configured to, when an event occurrence notification notifying that a specific event has occurred at least together with an event occurrence location is received, select at least one vehicle to move toward the event occurrence location from among the vehicles as an information collection vehicle, and transmit an information collection instruction notification to the information collection vehicle. The vehicles are configured to, when the information collection instruction notification is received, move toward the event occurrence location and collect images captured by a camera while the vehicles are moving as event-related information that is information related to the event.

Information collection system

A pedestrian protection system includes a plurality of autonomous driving vehicles and a server configured to be able to communicate with each of the autonomous driving vehicles. The server is configured to select at least one vehicle to be moved to the location of a pedestrian from among the autonomous driving vehicles as a pedestrian protection vehicle when a particular situation occurrence notification is received and is configured to send an instruction notification to the pedestrian protection vehicle. The particular situation occurrence notification indicates that the pedestrian is placed in a particular situation. The instruction notification instructs the pedestrian protection vehicle to move to the location of the pedestrian for protecting the pedestrian. Each of the autonomous driving vehicles is configured to move to the location of the pedestrian for protecting the pedestrian when the instruction notification is received.

Pedestrian protection system

A monitoring device includes: an instruction unit configured to instruct a vehicle to acquire appearance data of a monitoring object designated by a user; a detection unit configured to receive the appearance data from the vehicle and to detect whether a state of the monitoring object has changed based on the appearance data; and a monitoring result notifying unit configured to notify the user of a monitoring result of the monitoring object when the detection unit detects that the state of the monitoring object has changed.

Monitoring device, monitoring method, and monitoring system

A server includes: a registration unit that registers identification information for identifying a detection target in a storage unit; a detection target determination unit that determines whether the detection target is shown in an image captured on or around a road, based on the identification information; an abnormal behavior determination unit that determines whether the detection target exhibits an abnormal behavior that is different from a normal behavior of the detection target, when the detection target is shown in the image; and an alert transmission unit that transmits an alert when the detection target exhibits the abnormal behavior.
