An image recognition device capable of reducing power, a calculation amount, a memory occupancy amount, and a bus band occupancy amount and maintaining high recognition accuracy is provided. An image recognition device includes a plurality of signal processing modules that connects a plurality of image sensors having different functions, performs signal processing on the basis of image signals output from connected image sensors and including an object within an imaging visual field, and is each capable of being controlled for power source supply, a recognition processing unit that selectively performs recognition processing of the object by an output signal of one signal processing module and recognition processing of the object with fusion of corresponding output signals of the plurality of signal processing modules, and a control unit that supplies a power source to at least one signal processing module, causes the recognition processing unit to perform recognition processing of the object without fusion, determines reliability of a recognition processing result, and performs power source supply control of another signal processing module on the basis of a determination result.

Image recognition device and image recognition method

The present embodiment is an information processing device adapted to a non-contact user interface. The information processing device includes a display control unit configured to perform control such that a first screen is displayed on a display, a feature recognition unit configured to recognize a feature related to a specific part of a user in a spatial coordinate system, a mapping unit configured to specify a position on the first screen, the position corresponding to a position of the specific part in the spatial coordinate system, according to a mapping algorithm on the basis of the feature, an input operation specifying unit configured to specify an input operation on the basis of content of the first screen and the position on the first screen, and a processing execution unit configured to execute processing on the basis of the input operation. The mapping unit causes a reference trajectory to be displayed on the first screen under the control of the display control unit, and determines an optimal mapping algorithm on the basis of a user trajectory according to a motion of the user with respect to the reference trajectory.

Information processing device and information processing method based on input operation of user

An object detection processing sectiondetects an object region, using at least one of multiple viewpoint images (e.g., left-viewpoint image) with different viewpoint positions on the basis of information learned through prior learning. A distance measuring sectionperforms ellipse fitting on the object region detected by the object detection processing sectionto set a distance measurement point arrangement region, and sets multiple distance measurement points in the distance measurement point arrangement region. The distance measuring sectionperforms a stereo matching process using the multiple viewpoint images to calculate a parallax with sub-pixel accuracy for each of the distance measurement points corresponding to the object indicated by an image of the object region and, on the basis of the calculated parallaxes, generates distance measurement information regarding the object. Thus, the distance measurement information regarding the object can be generated without elongating a baseline distance between imaging sections that acquire the multiple viewpoint images with different viewpoint positions to such an extent that the object can be distinguished from the background.

Information processing device and information processing method

Provided is an information processing apparatus that creates map information on the basis of sensor information obtained by an on-vehicle sensor. The information processing apparatus includes a creation section that creates a map of a surrounding area of a mobile body on the basis of sensor information acquired by one or more sensors mounted on the mobile body, a request section that issues an information request to an external apparatus on the basis of a state of the map created by the creation section, and a merge section that merges information acquired by the request section from the external apparatus with the created map. The request section issues an information request to the external apparatus on the basis of a condition of a dead angle included in the map created by the creation section.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and mobile body apparatus

The present disclosure relates to an imaging control apparatus, a method for controlling the imaging control apparatus, and a mobile body that can improve the distance measurement accuracy of a stereo camera mounted in a vehicle. A set of cameras included in a stereo camera system is arranged in line, on a side surface of a main body of a vehicle, in a vertical direction relative to a road surface. Further, in order from a front side of columns of pixels arranged in an array, imaged pixel signals are sequentially read in the vertical direction in units of pixels for each of the columns of the pixels. The present disclosure can be applied to an in-vehicle system.

Imaging control apparatus, method for controlling imaging control apparatus, and mobile body

Captured or input image data is converted into an image of a size of a specific number of pixels. Then, predetermined plural types of different effects are applied to image data obtained through the conversion. Several types of image data items with the applied effects are arranged and simultaneously displayed.

Terminal device, image display method, and storage medium

A photographing device, which includes a photographing section; a display section that displays a photography image taken by the photographing section; a person indicator setting section that sets a person indicator prepared beforehand on the display screen; an operation section that operates a target position and/or a target size of the person indicator; a person detection section that detects a position and/or a size of a person in the photography image; a comparison section that compares the detected position and/or size of the person in the photography image with the target position and/or size; a guiding instruction section that generates an instruction for the person to be photographed to guide toward a direction coinciding with the compared result; and a control section that controls the photographing section such that, when a predetermined condition is satisfied after the compared result falls within a predetermined allowable error, a shutter is activated.
