An object recognition system of the disclosure includes a light source emitting dot light having a predetermined pattern to an object, an event detection sensor receiving the dot light having the predetermined pattern reflected by the object and detecting the fact that a change in luminance of a pixel has exceeded a predetermined threshold as an event, and a signal processor removing information other than event information originated from the dot light emitted from the light source and having the predetermined pattern among event information detected by the event detection sensor.

Object recognition system and method of signal processing performed by object recognition system, and electronic apparatus

A terminal apparatus according to an embodiment includes a solid-state imaging element and a first communication unit. The solid-state imaging element includes an image sensor, an image processing unit, and an output interface. The image sensor converts received light into an image. The image processing unit detects a specific object in the image. The output interface outputs the image. The first communication unit transmits the image output from the output interface. The information processing apparatus includes a second communication unit and a processor. The processor receives an image transmitted from the terminal apparatus with the second communication unit. When the image received with the second communication unit is an image in which the image processing unit has detected a specific object, the processor performs mask processing of masking the specific object.

Information processing system, information processing method, terminal apparatus, and information processing apparatus

A distance measuring device according to the present disclosure includes: a light-receiving section including a first light-receiving pixel and a second light-receiving pixel that are configured to detect light, and a light-shielded pixel that is light-shielded, the first light-receiving pixel, the light-shielded pixel, and the second light-receiving pixel being disposed in a first direction in this order; and a processor that is configured to measure a distance to a measurement object on the basis of a detection result in the first light-receiving pixel and a detection result in the second light-receiving pixel.

Distance measuring device

A terminal device according to an embodiment includes: a microphone; a communication unit that performs communication via a network; a first sensor that obtains depth information; a first face detecting unit that detects a face and the distance to the face based on the depth information; and a processor. When a communication program, which is meant for making the processor perform transmission and reception of messages including voice messages and which has a sound input mode for enabling collection of sounds using the microphone and transmission of voice messages based on the collected sounds, is executed, and when a message is received by the communication unit under the control of the communication program being executed; the processor performs first-type face detection using the first face detecting unit and controls turning ON and turning OFF the sound input mode according to the result of the first-type face detection.

Terminal device, terminal device control method, and memory medium

An object recognition system of the present disclosure includes: a light source section that irradiates a subject with dot light having a predetermined pattern; an event detection sensor that receives the dot light having the predetermined pattern reflected by the subject and detects, as an event, that a change in luminance of a pixel exceeds a predetermined threshold; and a signal processor that performs, in a case where a plurality of successive pixels in a pixel array section of the event detection sensor detects occurrence of an event in a certain period, processing of removing the event as noise, the plurality of successive pixels being equal to or greater than a predetermined number of pixels.
