An information processing device includes a recognition unit that recognizes, from a composite image generated using a code image and a cover image, the code image. The recognition unit recognizes the code image from the composite image using a recognizer trained so that a recognition result of the code image and a recognition result of the composite image are identical to each other.

Information processing device and information processing method

Provided is a lighting device capable of manipulating a wider range of parameters to reproduce various light sources. A light source unitincludes, for example, a liquid crystal panel and a backlight, and each pixel is a light source capable of adjusting innumerable hues and intensities capable of adjusting hue and intensity. A lenticular lensincludes an array of a plurality of lenticules, and is arranged such that a plurality of light sources capable of adjusting hue and intensity is associated with each lenticule. In addition, on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion of each lenticule, a partition is formed to block emission light from the pixel below the adjacent lenticule, thereby preventing repetition.

There is provided an information processing device including an action possibility analysis unit configured to acquire data of a three-dimensional shape of an environment, and by breaking down the data of the three-dimensional shape, analyzes an action possibility of the environment for a user, and a picture generation unit configured to use an analysis result of the action possibility analysis unit to generate a picture to project onto the environment.

When a user viewing an image of a conversation partner displayed on a display moves, a displayed image is more easily switched to an image reflecting a position of the user after the movement. When an image of a first user is displayed on a display of a second user, the image of the first user taken by an imaging device and an image of a background taken by the imaging device are acquired, and the acquired images are composited with each other, thereby displaying on the display a composite image in which the first user is positioned in front of the background. Moreover, when a movement of the face of the second user with respect to the display is detected, transition processing of causing the composite image displayed on the display to transition from a state before the detection of the movement of the face is carried out.

Image display system and image display method

In an image display system for viewing, by a user in a first space, an image of a second space remote from the first space, image data indicating an image acquired by an imaging device placed in the second space is received from the imaging device. A partial image of the image indicated by the received image data is displayed on a display screen in the first space, the partial image having a display size corresponding to the size of the display screen. At least one of the position, the facial direction, the visual line, or the facial position of the user in the first space is detected by a detector. When a detection result of the detector changes while the partial image is being displayed, it is determined which partial image of the image indicated by the image data is to be displayed on the display screen.

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a simulation unit configured to perform simulation with respect to a crowd present in a target region in a real world, and to generate a simulation image that represents the crowd, a data collection unit configured to collect position associated data that is associated with geographical positions of one or more people, and a control unit configured to control the simulation based on the position associated data.
