A control system, method and computer program product cooperate to assist control for an autonomous robot. An interface receives recognition information from an autonomous robot, said recognition information including candidate target objects to interact with the autonomous robot. A display control unit causes a display image to be displayed on a display of candidate target objects, wherein at least two of the candidate target objects are displayed with an associated indication of a target object score.

Display control device, display control method, computer program product, and communication system

An information processing apparatus executes a recognition learning process of an object in the first image captured by a camera, detects from the first image an object region in which the object is present, extracts feature amounts of feature points associated with the object region, creates an object model based on the extracted feature amounts, discriminates the object in the first image based on the object model, assesses a progress status of the recognition learning process of a target region of the object based on a discrimination result, generates an image signal in which a second image that represents the target region and the progress status is superimposed on the first image captured by the camera, and outputs the image signal to a display device to present the target region and the progress status to the user.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method for object recognition learning

Provided is a robot device including an image input unit for inputting an image of surroundings, a target object detection unit for detecting an object from the input image, an object position detection unit for detecting a position of the object, an environment information acquisition unit for acquiring surrounding environment information of the position of the object, an optimum posture acquisition unit for acquiring an optimum posture corresponding to the surrounding environment information for the object, an object posture detection unit for detecting a current posture of the object from the input image, an object posture comparison unit for comparing the current posture of the object to the optimum posture of the object, and an object posture correction unit for correcting the posture of the object when the object posture comparison unit determines that there is a predetermined difference or more between the current posture and the optimum posture.

Robot device, method of controlling the same, computer program, and robot system

An apparatus comprising a memory storing instructions is provided. The apparatus includes a control unit for executing the instructions to send signals to display, for a user, a first virtual image superimposed onto a representation of real space. The control unit further executes instructions to send signals to identify a potential source of interest for the user, the potential source of interest being outside of a user focus area in the representation of real space. The control unit further executes instructions to send signals to notify the user of the potential source of interest.

Information processing to notify potential source of interest to user

There is provided an information processing apparatus to make it possible to dynamically change the blinking pattern of the light source according to the imaging result, the information processing apparatus including: a light source control unit configured to control each of light sources constituting a plurality of light sources that irradiate an eye with light; and an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image of the eye including a bright spot that is a reflection point of the light. The light source control unit controls blinking of each of the light sources on a basis of the captured image of the eye.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and recording medium

A control system, method and computer program product cooperate to assist control for an autonomous robot. The system includes a communications interface that exchanges information with the autonomous robot. A user interface displays a scene of a location in which the autonomous robot is positioned, and also receives an indication of a user selection of a user selected area within the scene. The communications interface transmits an indication of said user selected area to the autonomous robot for further processing of the area by said autonomous robot.

Control device, control method, computer program product, and robot control system

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a sorting unit configured to sort a second data set as evaluation data with a classifier generated by learning through supervised learning that uses a first data set as a supervision signal, an input unit configured to receive label correction for the second data set in accordance with a sorting result from the sorting unit, and an update unit configured to update the second data set to reflect the correction received by the input unit.

Apparatus and method for information processing

An information processing device including a light source control unit that controls a light source that irradiates an eye with light; and an exposure control unit that controls exposure for imaging the eye. The light source control unit sets a state of the light source to an on state or an off state at a time when the exposure is not performed.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method to control exposure for imaging the eye

A control system, method and computer program product cooperate to assist control for an autonomous robot. An interface receives recognition information from an autonomous robot, said recognition information including candidate target objects to interact with the autonomous robot. A display control unit causes a display image to be displayed on as display of candidate target objects, wherein at least two of the candidate target objects are displayed with an associated indication of a target object score.

An image processing device includes an inward state detection unit that detects, on the basis of an inward image acquired by photographing of a user side, a state of outside light in the inward image as an inward outside light state, and an outward state detection unit that detects, on the basis of an outward image acquired by photographing of an opposite side of the user side, a state of outside light in the outward image as an outward outside light state. Also included is a control unit that performs brightness adjustment processing related to brightness of the inward image according to a detection result of the inward outside light state and a detection result of the outward outside light state, and a recognition processing unit that performs gaze detection of the user on the basis of the inward image acquired by performance of the brightness adjustment processing.
