An information processing apparatus that performs control related to movement of a moving object configured to measure its own position includes a memory storing instructions, and at least one processor that, upon execution of the instructions, is configured to operate as a first acquisition unit configured to acquire environmental information about an environment where the moving object moves, an estimation unit configured to estimate first positional information indicating that a region subjected to measurement accuracy degradation is below a threshold value based on the environmental information, and a determination unit configured to determine content of control information based on the first positional information.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium

In an information processing device processing map information of a surrounding environment of a vehicle, a sensor information acquiring unit acquires output information of a sensor performing measurement relating to a movement amount or the surrounding environment of the vehicle. An error generation amount calculating unit calculates an error generation amount in position information of an element configuring map information on the basis of the acquired information. An accumulative error evaluating unit evaluates an accumulation degree of the calculated error generation amount. A correction determining unit determines need for an accumulative error correcting process relating to map information on the basis of an evaluation result of the accumulative error. In accordance with an instruction from the correction determining unit, a notification device notifies a user of need for correction using loop closure.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and recording medium

The information processing apparatus is provided with a measurement unit configured to perform position and orientation measurement of at least one of a position and an orientation of a moving body based on a first sensor data and a second sensor data stored in a moving body, a control content determination unit configured to determine control content of the moving body based on at least one of the position and orientation measured by the measurement unit, a dependency degree acquisition unit configured to acquire a dependency degree of the second sensor data with respect to the first sensor data, and a reliability degree calculation unit configured to calculate a reliability degree that represents a smallness of an accumulation value of the dependency degree, wherein the control content determination unit is configured to determine a control content of the moving body based on the reliability degree.

Information processing apparatus, control method of information processing apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus including at least one memory storing instructions and at least one processor that, upon execution of the instructions, is configured to acquire, based on a measurement value measured by a sensor attached to a moving object, information about a position and an orientation of the moving object and a reliability of position/orientation estimation, generates, based on the position and the orientation and the reliability, a reliability map including the reliability for each orientation of the sensor, and determines the orientation of the moving object with the sensor such that the reliability increases, based on the generated reliability map.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

There is provided with an information processing apparatus. An acquisition unit acquires a first processing result including information for identifying the position of the mobile object and a second processing result including information for identifying the position of the mobile object. The first processing result is obtained by executing a first processing method on an image obtained by measuring at least surroundings of the mobile object by using a light receiving sensor installed on the mobile object. The second processing result is obtained by executing a second processing method different from the first processing method on an observation result obtained by observing the mobile object by using a light receiving sensor installed at a location at which it is possible to observe the mobile object.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and medium

There is provided with an information processing apparatus. From an image capturing apparatus which can move, a captured image of an object is obtained. The position of the image capturing apparatus is derived using the captured image and a three-dimensional map. The three-dimensional map is corrected using information indicating a reliability of: information indicating the three-dimensional position of the feature included in a predefined area in the three-dimensional map held by the holding unit; and information indicating a three-dimensional position of another feature of the object, the information obtained based on the captured image from an expanded area of the predefined area in the three-dimensional map held by the holding unit.

An information processing apparatus includes an update unit and an obtaining unit. The obtaining unit obtains a second position of a map feature point included in map information based on the map information and information obtained from a vehicle sensor. The map information includes a map feature point first position measured in an environment including a closed route along which the vehicle travels. The sensor-obtained information includes a sensor feature point measured by the sensor mounted on the vehicle while the vehicle travels along the closed route. Where a distance between an estimated vehicle first position and an estimated vehicle second position is greater than a threshold, map information updating is restrained. Where the vehicle traveling near the vehicle first position continues traveling along the closed route, the update unit updates the map information between when the vehicle leaves the vehicle first position and nears the vehicle second position.

Of a plurality of learning models learned to output geometric information corresponding to a captured image, a learning model corresponding to a setting region is acquired.
