A configuration capable of accurately displaying a flight path of a drone on an actually captured image of the drone. The configuration includes a data processing unit that displays a moving path of a moving device such as a drone on a display unit that displays a camera-capturing image of the moving device. The data processing unit generates a coordinate conversion matrix for performing coordinate conversion processing of converting position information according to a first coordinate system, for example, the NED coordinate system indicating the moving path of the moving device into a second coordinate system, for example, the camera coordinate system capable of specifying a pixel position of a display image on the display unit. The data processing unit outputs the moving path having position information according to the camera coordinate system generated by coordinate conversion processing to which the generated coordinate conversion matrix is applied.

Image processing device and image processing method

An information processing apparatus includes a scene obtaining unit and a suitability determining unit. The scene obtaining unit is configured to obtain a scene including position and attitude information of a movable object equipped with a camera and information regarding a three-dimensional shape of an object to be imaged, the object to be imaged being imaged by the camera. The suitability determining unit is configured to determine suitability of the scene on the basis of suitability data indicating whether or not the obtained scene is suitable for localizing processing.

Information processing apparatus, server, movable object device, and information processing method

A signal processing apparatus, method, and program that enable growth conditions of vegetation to be easily confirmed are disclosed. An NDVI relative value calculation provides a relative value to an average of a vegetation index indicative of growth conditions of grass, on the basis of a sensing image. An image indicative of the growth conditions of an inspection object can be displayed on the basis of the relative value. Further, an NDVI average calculation section calculates an NDVI average obtained by averaging normalized difference vegetation indexes NDVI indicative of the growth conditions of the grass in the entire grass, and a correlation coefficient calculation section calculates a correlation coefficient that matches the NDVI average with a predetermined NDVI specified value. The NDVI relative value calculation applies the correlation coefficient in providing the relative value in each measurement unit in which a measurement is performed on the grass.

Signal processing apparatus, signal processing method, and progress

This information processing apparatus includes a control unit that acquires two images including a face of a user as an object, the two images being picked up from different positions in a vertical direction of the face of the user, determines whether or not each face in the two images is a face of the same person, and operates a mode in which on the basis of an image of an eye part in one of the two images, a line-of-sight correction image obtained by modifying an image of an eye part of the other of the two images is generated when each face in the two images is the face of the same person.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

An image processing apparatus includes: a straight edge detection section that detects a straight edge of an object in at least one of first and second original images obtained by capturing the identical object from two different viewpoints; a first morphing processing section that performs a first morphing process, which does not include parallelization of the original images, on the original images to generate a first intermediate image seen from a virtual viewpoint between the two viewpoints; a distortion determination section that determines whether or not an edge of the object in the first intermediate image that corresponds to the straight edge detected by the straight edge detection section is distorted; and a second morphing processing section that, if the edge is distorted, performs a second morphing process, which includes parallelization of the original images, on the original images to generate a second intermediate image seen from the virtual viewpoint.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

A cassette loading device for a recording and/or reproducing apparatus, capable of loading tape cassettes of different sizes and weights, comprises a cassette holder capable of moving between a cassette insertion position and a cassette loading completed position, cassette holder driving means, optical sensors for detecting which type of tape cassette has been inserted into the recording and/or reproducing apparatus, and torque control means for controlling the driving torque of the cassette holder driving means in response to a detection signal indicative of the type of tape cassette, thereby allowing the tape cassette to load at an essentially consistent loading speed regardless of the type of tape cassette. With this construction, the loading device has high positioning accuracy.
