An information processing method for a vehicle includes capturing and storing images of an area in front of the vehicle, acquiring information on the speed of the vehicle, and transmitting an image to an information processing apparatus when a judgment is made that a change in speed equal to or greater than a threshold occurs while the vehicle is traveling in a predetermined section, the image being captured during a predetermined period that includes the time when the judgment is made.

A data collection device includes: an acquirer configured to acquire the location of a vehicle from a vehicle device mounted on the vehicle; an extractor configured to extract, based on the location of the vehicle, at least one identifier out of identifiers each assigned to a region on a map that is divided into a plurality of regions; a distributor configured to distribute to the vehicle device at least one information pair that is formed by pairing the extracted identifier with a data collection condition; and a collector configured to collect, from the vehicle device, data gathered by the vehicle device based on the collection condition.

Data collection device, data collection system, vehicle device, and data collection method

Obstacle determination systems and programs detect back-and-forth steering that is behavior of a vehicle for avoiding an obstacle. The systems and programs determine that the obstacle is present between a point where the back-and-forth steering has started and a point where the back-and-forth steering has ended when a steering start road and a steering end road are identical roads. The steering start road is a road where the vehicle is present at a start of the back-and-forth steering. The steering end road is a road where the vehicle is present at an end of the back-and-forth steering.

Obstacle determination system and obstacle determination program

An information processing apparatus includes: a location information acquisition unit configured to acquire location information of each of a plurality of vehicles; a vehicle specifying unit configured to specify, based on the location information, a vehicle that has passed through a geographical location or area of a target, from which imaging data captured by the imaging device is collected; and a command transmission unit configured to transmit a command that requests transmission of the imaging data to the specified vehicle among the plurality of vehicles.

Information processing apparatus and information processing program

Provided is a road obstacle detection method including: a region segmentation step of segmenting an input image into a plurality of local regions; and a likelihood calculation step of calculating a probability of presence of the road obstacle in a target local region based on a probability that the target local region is not a normal object set in advance and a degree of visual saliency defined by a relationship between a surrounding local region and the target local region, wherein the degree of the visual saliency is calculated to be larger as a probability that the surrounding local region is a road is higher and calculated to be larger as a difference in visual characteristics between the target local region and the surrounding local region is larger.

Road obstacle detection device, method, and program

An obstacle determination system includes an avoidance behavior detection unit configured to detect an avoidance behavior that is a behavior of a vehicle avoiding an obstacle, and an obstacle determination unit configured to determine that the obstacle is present when a road on which the avoidance behavior occurs is not a road on which avoidance of an oncoming vehicle is needed.
