An analysis engine control deviceof the present invention includes: an analysis engine meta-information tablestoring an analysis process content and an analysis process result characteristic for each analysis engine; a process flow generating meansfor, in response to an analysis process request, selecting a plurality of analysis engineseach executing an analysis process satisfying the analysis process result condition and corresponding to the analysis process content, and generating a process flow; and an analysis process executing meansfor executing an analysis process based on the generated process flow. The process flow generating meansis configured to, in accordance with a result of an actually executed analysis process, correct the process flow so that an analysis process satisfying the analysis process result condition and corresponding to the analysis process content is executed, based on the analysis engine meta-information table.

Analysis engine control device

An analysis processing systemincludes: an object detection unitwhich acquires an image taken with a camera, detects an object having a preset feature in the acquired image, and sets a predetermined range with reference to a position where the object is detected in the image, as an object region; and a new object region specification unitwhich, on the basis of information of the object region, specifies the object region including an object newly appearing in a newly acquired image as a new object region, and sets a priority degree representing the degree of priority of execution of predetermined analysis processing on the new object region so as to be higher than the priority degree of the other object region.

Analysis processing system

A time difference measurement system includes: a first face detection unit for detecting face areas from images photographed by first camera and that slices them as face images; a first face feature extraction unit for extracting first face feature amounts from the face images, and a memory that stores the first face feature amounts in association with shooting time instants. The system includes, for a second camera, an analogous second face detection unit, a second overlap deletion unit and a second face feature extraction unit. The system includes: a face collation unit for collating the second face feature amounts with the first face values; and a time difference calculation unit for calculating time difference between the first and second shooting time instants. The system further includes at least one of first and second overlap deletion units for comparing a plurality of face images sliced from different frames.

Information processing apparatus, information processing and program

An analysis engine control device includes: an analysis data selecting for selecting at least two analysis data of a plurality of analysis data that are analysis results obtained by analysis by a plurality of analysis engines, respectively; and an analysis data integration calculating for executing new analysis by using at least two analysis data selected by the analysis data selecting as integration target analysis data. Based on classifications assigned according to one characteristic or each of a plurality of characteristics previously set of the analysis engines, the analysis data selecting selects analysis data obtained by the analysis engines that the classifications are at least partly different from each other, as the integration target analysis data.

An information processing deviceof the present invention includes: a recognition result acquiring meansfor acquiring respective recognition result information outputted by a plurality of recognition enginesandexecuting different recognition processes on recognition target data; and an integration recognition result outputting meansfor outputting a new recognition result obtained by integrating the respective recognition result information acquired from the plurality of recognition engines. The recognition result acquiring meansis configured to acquire the respective recognition result information in a data format common to the plurality of recognition engines, from the plurality of recognition engines. The integration recognition result outputting meansis configured to integrate the respective recognition result information based on the respective recognition result information, and output as the new recognition result.

Information processing device

An information search device includes: a path field generating part that, for each node, generates a path field in which paths with the node as an origin are connected; an index generating part that, for each element configuring graph structure information, generates a posting list as a list of information composed of a node having a path field including the element and location information representing a location where the element appears in the path field, and generates an index repository in which the element and the posting list are associated; a search path generating part that generates a search path representing a search condition; and a searching part that extracts a node having a path field satisfying an appearance sequence of elements included in the search path based on the location information of the posting list.

Information search device, information search method, computer program, and data structure

A search system includes a scoring engine weight value database that stores weight value information of each scoring engine corresponding to a plurality of users, a search result response unit that causes weight value information that is stored in the scoring engine weight value database to be reflected in search results that are searched by a search engine and that reflect scores computed by scoring engines to create search results that are presented to a user; and a search result behavior acquisition unit that acquires selection behavior information of a user with respect to search results that are presented and that causes the acquired selection behavior information to be reflected in the scoring engine weight value database.

Search system, search method, and program
