A control system acquires predicted tsunami information, and generates a flight plan for unmanned aerial vehicles. The flight plan includes flight paths along safety boundaries between an expected damage area and a safe area. The expected damage is an area expected to be damaged by the tsunami indicated by the predicted tsunami information. The safe area is an area to be safe from damage caused by the tsunami. The control system transmits the flight plan to the unmanned aerial vehicles.

According to one embodiment, a difference extraction device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a text in which an input notation string is described. The processing circuitry converts the input notation string into a pronunciation string. The processing circuitry executes a pronunciation string conversion process in which the pronunciation string is converted into an output notation string. The processing circuitry extracts a difference by comparing the input notation string and the output notation string with each other.

A preliminary image is captured that includes parts of an authentication target person. Main authentication targets are determined. The main authentication targets are those parts that each have an acceptable image-capturing state. A single image-capturing device can then be controlled to successively capture images of the main authentication parts of the authentication target person that have been determined with different settings. These images of the main authentication parts that have been captured can then be output. For instance, authentication of the target person may be performed using authentication data for each main authentication part, where such authentication is successfully when authentication for all the main authentication parts is successful.

A transport system S acquires load information of a load to be transported and environmental information obtained by sensing environment of the transport destination of the load, and determines a receiving time limit for the load in the environment of the transport destination on the basis of the acquired load information and the environmental information.

Environment sensitive transportation method, device, and apparatus

An UGVacquires a moving image of an captured imaging area, detects a receiver of an article on the basis of frame images forming the moving image, sets, as the monitoring area, an area including at least a part of the receiver and the area at a point in time when the receiver appears, detects a outsider entering the monitoring area or a outsider heading for the monitoring area on the basis of a frame image that is temporally later than a first frame image at the point in time when the receiver appears, and executes processing for notifying the receiver of outsider detection information.
