INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18260191 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus with an event vision sensor that captures images inside a mobile body and a sensor control unit that manages the event vision sensor. The event vision sensor includes a pixel array unit with multiple pixels arranged in a matrix and an event detection unit that identifies when a change in luminance due to incident light surpasses a set threshold in the pixels. The sensor control unit adjusts the threshold value when monitoring the eyeball movements of a driver seated in the driver's seat of the mobile body.

Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided an information processing apparatus including an event vision sensor () that images an inside of a mobile body and a sensor control unit () that controls the event vision sensor. The event vision sensor includes a pixel array unit () including a plurality of pixels arrayed in a matrix and an event detection unit () that detects that a luminance change amount due to incident light has exceeded a predetermined threshold in the pixels. The sensor control unit changes a value of the predetermined threshold when grasping, with the event vision sensor, an eyeball behavior of a driver seated on a driver's seat of the mobile body.
