A region prediction unit predicts the target region in the second image frame based on the target region detected in a first image frame and a time interval between the first and second image frames. The region prediction unit predicts the target region in the third image frame based on the target region detected in the second image frame and a time interval between the second and third image frames. A region determination unit determines, as an image-processing region, a region obtained by adding a margin to the target prediction region in the third image frame in accordance with an overlapping portion between the detected target region in the second image frame and the prediction region in the second image frame.

A candidate route acquisition unit acquires a candidate route of the moving body to a destination. A communication quality evaluation unit evaluates communication quality of the wireless communication network at each location included in the candidate route for each direction of communication by using communication quality information for each direction of communication. A candidate route evaluation unit evaluates communication stability of the candidate route by using communication quality evaluated for each direction of communication. A route determination unit determines a movement route of the moving body among the candidate routes by using an evaluation result of the communication stability.
