Abstract
A data processing system efficiently identifies a target object pointed to by a vehicle occupant. The data processing system provides a position detection unit that detects the position of the vehicle; an occupant state recognition unit that recognizes motion of an occupant pointing to outside of the vehicle; a target object database that indicates position of target objects that may be pointed to by an occupant; an appearance feature database that indicates appearance features of the target object; a speech recognition unit that recognizes words indicative of appearance features from the speech of the occupant; an object recognition unit that extracts target object candidates pointed at by the occupant by searching the target object database and the appearance feature database using a direction pointed at by an occupant, and a word included in the speech recognized by the speech recognition unit; and an output unit that outputs target object candidates.
