INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18277719 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can estimate important and non-important regions in an image and replace them with alternative data based on their importance levels. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The apparatus obtains input data such as image data or point cloud data.
  • It estimates the importance levels of various regions in the input data.
  • It replaces certain regions with alternative data according to their importance levels.
  • It evaluates the replaced data to derive an evaluation value.
  • It trains the estimating means based on the evaluation value.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in image processing, computer vision, and object recognition systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in accurately identifying and focusing on important regions within an image, which can improve the efficiency of various image processing tasks.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in identifying important regions, enhanced image processing capabilities, and potentially better performance in object recognition tasks.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include in the fields of surveillance systems, autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, and quality control in manufacturing processes.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of machine learning algorithms to segment and classify regions in images based on their importance levels.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus determine the importance levels of different regions within an image?

The abstract does not provide specific details on the methodology used to estimate the importance levels of regions within an image.

What type of alternative data is used to replace the non-important regions in the input data?

The abstract does not specify the nature of the alternative data used to replace the non-important regions within the input data.


Original Abstract Submitted

To provide a technique which makes it possible to suitably estimate an important region and a non-important region in an image, an information processing apparatus () includes: an obtaining means () for obtaining input data which includes at least one of image data and point cloud data; an estimating means () for estimating levels of importance with respect to a respective plurality of regions which are included in a frame indicated by the input data; a replacing means () for generating replaced data by replacing at least one of the plurality of regions, which are included in the input data, with alternative data in accordance with the levels of importance; an evaluating means () for deriving an evaluation value by referring to the replaced data; and a training means () for training the estimating means with reference to the evaluation value.
