An information processing apparatus includes a Central Processing Unit (CPU) that detects a crowd based on images and location information, receives event information from a server, generates crowd information based on the detected crowd and the event information received from the server, and generates a cost map indicating a risk of passing through a region based on the crowd information.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method for generating crowd-avoidance path plans

An aerial vehicle according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a recording unit, a detection unit, and a reproduction unit. The recording unit records a flight parameter during flight in a state in which no sensor abnormality is detected. The detection unit detects the sensor abnormality. The reproduction unit reproduces the flight parameter on the basis of the sensor abnormality detected by the detection unit.

Aerial vehicle and control method

A collision with another moving object is prevented. An information processing device of the present disclosure includes: an imaging unit which acquires image data by capturing an image of an environment including a traveling direction of a moving object; and a control unit which detects another moving object existing in the traveling direction of the moving object on the basis of the image data and performs an action of preventing a collision with the other moving object on the basis of information regarding the other moving object.

Information processing device, method, computer program, and communication system

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing system capable of more easily realizing route planning. A route planning unit selects, on the basis of priority information regarding setting of the moving route, a viaport where a moving object stops over from among a plurality of charging ports that charges the moving object, and sets a moving route of a moving object from a departure point to a destination. The technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus that performs automatic piloting of a drone.

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

An information processing apparatus includes: a plurality of stereo cameras arranged so that directions of baseline lengths of the stereo cameras intersect each other; a depth estimation unit that estimates, from captured images captured by the plurality of stereo cameras, a depth of an object included in the captured images; and an object detection unit that detects the object based on the depth estimated by the depth estimation unit and reliability of the depth, the reliability being determined in accordance with an angle of a direction of an edge line of the object with respect to the directions of the baseline lengths of the plurality of stereo cameras.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

To enable high-speed autonomous flight of a flight object. A three-dimensional real-time observation result is generated on the basis of self-position estimation information and three-dimensional distance measurement information. A prior map corresponding to a three-dimensional real-time observation result is acquired. The three-dimensional real-time observation result and the prior map are aligned. After the alignment, the three-dimensional real-time observation result is expanded on the basis of the prior map. A flight route is set on the basis of the three-dimensional real-time observation result having been expanded. In the flight object such as a drone, a somewhat long flight route can be accurately calculated at a time in a global behavior plan, which enables high-speed autonomous flight of the flight object.
