An optical waveguide element includes a substrate, an optical waveguide disposed inside the substrate or on the substrate, and an electrode provided along the optical waveguide, working on the optical waveguide to generate a phase change in a light wave propagating through the optical waveguide. The electrode is a traveling-wave electrode. In a modulation section where the light wave is controlled by the electrode, the electrode and the optical waveguide are configured so that the phase change generated in a first modulation section located within a predetermined distance range from a downstream side end portion along a propagation direction of a traveling wave of an electrical signal propagating through the electrode has a sign opposite to a sign of the phase change generated in a second modulation section located within a predetermined distance range from an input end of the electrical signal on an upstream side along the propagation direction.

There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that improve detection accuracy in detecting a motion or posture of a person or an object using an inertial sensor. A posture of a measurement target is estimated based on a position and orientation of each of a plurality of measurement devices arranged at a plurality of parts of the measurement target and based on a connection relationship between the measurement devices that is set based on positions and orientations of the measurement devices, each measurement device including an inertial sensor. The present technology can be applied to a motion capture system.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

The present disclosure relates to a moving body, a position estimation method, and a program capable of achieving high accuracy of self-position estimation. An imaging control unit sets a zoom parameter of an imaging unit having a zoom lens according to at least any one of an altitude or a moving speed of its own machine, and a self-position estimation unit estimates a self-position on the basis of an image captured by the imaging unit in which the zoom parameter is set. Technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a moving body such as a drone.
