An information processing apparatus predicts a waiting time by suppressing a reduction in accuracy of waiting-time prediction even if the number of people waiting in a line is small. The information processing apparatus includes a calculation unit that calculates a waiting time, based on a first set of counted objects in a case where the number of first set of counted objects is less than a predetermined number and based on a second set of counted objects in a case where the first set of counted objects is greater than or equal to the predetermined number.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and recording medium to calculate waiting time in queue using acquired number of objects

An identification apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire input data and an identification unit configured to identify a class to which the acquired input data belongs based on a classifier configured to identify a class to which the data belongs from among a plurality of classes that includes two or more classes having been set beforehand.

Image identification apparatus and image identification method

An information processing apparatus comprises a moving object detection unit configured to detect a moving object from a captured image; a passage determination unit configured to determine that the moving object has passed through a predetermined position in the captured image; an image extraction unit configured to extract a region image of the moving object that has passed through the predetermined position from the captured image; and a display control unit configured to make a display unit display, in time series, the region image for each passing direction of the moving object that has passed through the predetermined position.

Information processing apparatus and method of controlling the same

An image processing apparatus comprises a detecting unit which detects an object from an input image, an extracting unit which extracts a feature amount of the object detected by the detecting unit, a similarity calculating unit which, in a case where a plurality of objects have been detected from the same input image by the detecting unit, calculates a degree of similarity of feature amounts of the plurality of objects, and an adjusting unit which adjusts a collating method of collating the plurality of objects based on respective feature amounts, on the basis of the degree of similarity calculated by the similarity calculating unit.

Image processing apparatus and method for collating a plurality of images

An image processing apparatus comprises: a detecting unit to detect, respectively from plural images obtained by imaging with plural imaging units a space in which plural persons exist, positions of the persons on the images; an associating unit to perform association of a same person in the plural images; a person position estimating unit to estimate positions of the persons in the space, based on the positions of the persons on the images detected from the plural images and a result of the association by the associating unit; a direction estimating unit to estimate eye directions of the persons, based on the plural images; and a distribution estimating unit to estimate a spatial distribution of positions gazed by the plural persons, based on the estimated positions of the plural persons in the space and the estimated eye directions of the plural persons.
