An influence on object expression performed at a transmission destination is reduced. A position information reception unitof an information integration devicereceives, regarding objects which are measured by a plurality of sensors from a plurality of locations and overlap in any of the locations, position information for each location on areas of the objects. A position information integration unitcalculates smallest rectangles or largest rectangles surrounding the objects by using the position information for each location.

Information integration method, information integration device, and information integration program

The present invention is to improve accuracy of position information of an object. A labeling unitof an information integration deviceassociates a label included in tracking data with an object area having a largest ratio of overlapping areas overlapping label areas included in the tracking data with regard to the object area or an object area having a largest size of overlapping areas overlapping label areas included in the tracking data, among a plurality of object areas included in a Depth map.

Matching timings of transmitting pieces of information for reproducing video and audio with presence and handling loss are provided. An information synchronization device is configured to synchronize, to a reference timestamp, data in which one or more labels for identifying respective one or more subjects on a video and one or more pieces of location information for identifying respective locations of the one or more subjects are respectively associated. The information synchronization device includes a reception unit for receiving the data at each time, a buffer for storing the received data, and a location information interpolation unit for generating, when pieces of the location information at times before and after the reference timestamp is stored into the buffer for any of the labels, location information of the label at the reference timestamp by interpolation using the pieces of the location information.
