INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276161 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The information processing device described in the abstract includes a signal acquisition unit, a passive depth estimation unit, and a fusion unit. The signal acquisition unit extracts active information indicating the flight time of reference light and passive information indicating two-dimensional image information of a subject obtained from ambient light. The passive depth estimation unit generates passive depth information based on the passive information. The fusion unit combines the passive depth information with active depth information to generate depth information of the subject.

Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing device () includes a signal acquisition unit (), a passive depth estimation unit (), and a fusion unit (). The signal acquisition unit () extracts, from light reception data, active information indicating a flight time of reference light (PL) and passive information (PI) indicating two-dimensional image information of a subject (SU) obtained from ambient light (EL). The passive depth estimation unit () generates passive depth information (PDI) based on the passive information (PI). The fusion unit () fuses the passive depth information (PDI) with active depth information (ADI) generated based on the active information to generate depth information (DI) of the subject (SU).
