Abstract
A configuration is described that is capable of determining a target landing position of a drone according to a sentence indicating a landing position generated by a user. Aspects including identifying an object type of an object contained in a captured image of a camera mounted on a mobile body; sentence analysis processing analyzes a sentence indicating a designated arrival position; word-corresponding subject selection processing collates results of the sentence analysis processing with the object identification processing and selecting a subject corresponding to a word included in the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image; and target arrival position determination processing extracts an area corresponding to the designated arrival position indicated by the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image on the basis of a result of word-corresponding subject selection processing, and area determination is made as target arrival position of mobile body.
