An information processing device () includes a route acquisition unit () and an automatic driving section determination unit (). The route acquisition unit () acquires route information indicating a moving route of a mobile body. The automatic driving section determination unit () acquires adaptation coefficients for a plurality of sections included in the moving route indicated by the route information, with reference to an adaptation coefficient storage unit () that stores automatic driving adaptation coefficients set for the respective sections. Further, the automatic driving section determination unit () determines the automatic driving sections of the mobile body in the moving route, based on the acquired adaptation coefficients.

The control apparatus () is an apparatus that controls the travel of a target vehicle (). The control apparatus () detects a partial object () using a sensor. The partial object () is a part of an object riding on the target vehicle () and is jutting outside the target vehicle (). Furthermore, the control apparatus () outputs information (travel information) relating to travel of the target vehicle () based on the detected partial object (). For example, the travel information is control information for travel control of the target vehicle () and notification information indicating information relating to the partial object ().

Control apparatus, control method, and program

A control device () can communicate with a first sensor () for detecting an object around a first vehicle and is equipped on the first vehicle (). The control device () includes a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, a detection unit, and a determination unit. The first acquisition unit acquires a sensing result being a result of detecting an object around the first vehicle () from the first sensor () equipped on the first vehicle (). The second acquisition unit acquires positional information of a specified object being an object for performance measurement of the first sensor (). The detection unit detects the specified object existing within a reference distance from the first vehicle (), by use of positional information of the first vehicle () and positional information of the specified object. The determination unit determines performance of the first sensor (), based on the sensing result of the specified object by the first sensor ().

A telop detecting device includes an MPEG input source, a parameter acquiring unit, a switch, a DCT coefficient evaluating unit, and a result output unit. The MPEG input source acquires an MPEG stream. The parameter acquiring unit acquires parameters necessary for detecting a telop from the MPEG input source. The switch switches on and off the connection to the DCT coefficient evaluating unit. The DCT coefficient evaluating unit evaluates the possibility of presence of a telop based on a DCT coefficient of each macro block in a frame acquired through the switch, identifies a telop region by calculating an evaluation value by assigning a weight to the DCT coefficient using a weighting matrix.

An information processing apparatus is provided, the apparatus being capable of automating an editing work or the like of captured moving image without providing a specific arrangement, for example, to a moving-image capturing apparatus. An information processing apparatus, comprises: a recording unitfor storing in advance attribute information indicative of specific attribute set in advance as attribute which image information inputted from the outside and having a change of specific mode set in advance should include, an image analysis unitfor analyzing a change of the image information inputted, and an evaluation unitfor, based on the analyzed change and the stored attribute information, in a case where the analyzed change is a change of the specific mode, linking the attribute information indicative of the specific attribute corresponding to a change of the specific mode, to the image information having a change of the specific mode.

Shortcut names corresponding to flagged locations or frequently stated destinations, phrases, or sentences are registered, maintained, used, and deregistered in a speech recognition system. If a flagged location or a frequently stated destination, phrase, or sentence is received by the speech recognition system, the user is prompted to provide a shortcut name corresponding to the frequently stated destination, phrase, or sentence in the form of speech, which is then recognized by speech recognition and registered to a personal profile of the user. The shortcut name is also added to a grammar database of the speech recognition system, so that the speech recognition system may recognize the shortcut name itself. The shortcut name may also be deleted, when speech received from a user contains a shortcut name but the user did not intend the shortcut name to mean the corresponding destination, phrase, or sentence.
