A moving object detection system detecting moving objects based on a captured image comprising: cameras capturing images to generate image data; image recognition circuitries each performing image recognition on the image data generated by each camera to detect a moving object in a captured image indicated by the image data; and an information management apparatus managing image data supplied from each camera to a corresponding image recognition circuitry. The information management apparatus includes a communication interface performing data communication with the cameras and the image recognition circuitries, and a controller managing congestion information on the number of moving objects localized within a range of a captured image indicated by image data for each camera, and controlling the communication interface to supply the image data generated by the cameras to each image recognition circuitry, distributing the image data according to the congestion information.

Moving object detection system and information management apparatus

A position analysis device includes: an input interface that acquires the captured image obtained by the camera; a processor that calculates coordinate transformation from a first coordinate system to a second coordinate system with respect to the target position in the acquired captured image; and a memory that stores a correction model to generate a correction amount of a position in the second coordinate system, wherein the processor corrects a transformed position from the target position, based on the correction model including weight functions corresponding to reference positions, the transformed position being a position obtained by the coordinate transformation on the target position in the first coordinate system to the second coordinate system, the weight functions each producing a larger weighting in the correction amount as the transformed position is closer to a corresponding reference position, the reference positions being different from each other in the second coordinate system.

Position analysis device and method, and camera system

The present disclosure provides a head-mounted display that achieves smooth communication that allows a wearer of the head-mounted display and an outside person to understand their intentions with each other, and a control method of controlling the head-mounted display. Head-mounted display includes: sound receiver that receives a sound coming from a specific direction; voice detector that detects a voice from the sound received by sound receiver; head movement detector that detects movement of the head of the wearer of head-mounted display; external display that displays externally visible information; and response detector that, when voice detector detects the voice, and head movement detector detects movement of the head of the wearer facing toward the specific direction, displays information indicating that the wearer has responded to the voice on external display.

Head-mounted display and control method thereof

A vehicle control apparatus includes a start information acquisition unit that acquires start information including detection information about a key to a vehicle and a start instruction to start an engine, a first authentication unit that acquires, in accordance with the start information, sensing information about a user detected by a sensor of the vehicle and information about a preregistered user corresponding to the sensing information and authenticates whether the detected user is the preregistered user, a second authentication unit that acquires, in accordance with the start information, authentication information input by the user and preregistered authentication information corresponding to the authentication information and authenticates whether the input authentication information is the same as the preregistered authentication information, and a control information output unit that outputs control information regarding start of the engine based on at least one of the authentication results received from the first and second authentication units.

Vehicle control apparatus, vehicle control method, and recording medium storing program

A parameter prediction device includes: an environmental characteristic acquirer that acquires an environmental characteristic quantity set which quantifies one or more characteristics of a sound collection environment for an acoustic signal; a target setter that sets a target evaluation value set which provides one or more values obtained by quantifying one or more performances of processing of the acoustic signal, or one or more evaluation values of a processed acoustic signal; and a first predictor that inputs the environmental characteristic quantity set and the target evaluation value set as independent variables to a first prediction model, and predicts a control parameter set for controlling the acoustic signal processing.
