INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18331677 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

An information processing apparatus is described in this patent application. The apparatus performs extraction processing on an image of a registration target to extract feature information indicating a feature of the registration target. It includes a first extraction unit that performs the first extraction processing and a second extraction unit that performs the second extraction processing.

  • The first extraction unit extracts first feature information from the image of the registration target.
  • The second extraction unit extracts second feature information from the same image of the registration target.
  • The comparison unit compares the first feature information with the second feature information.
  • The registration unit registers registration information associated with the registration target.
  • The registration information indicates which extraction processing (first or second) should be used for collation processing based on the comparison result.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various fields where image processing and feature extraction are required, such as computer vision, object recognition, and pattern matching.
  • It can be used in security systems for identifying individuals or objects based on their features.
  • It can be utilized in quality control processes to identify defects or anomalies in products based on their features.

Problems Solved

  • The apparatus solves the problem of determining which extraction processing method should be used for collation processing based on the comparison of feature information.
  • It eliminates the need for manual selection of the extraction method, making the process more efficient and accurate.

Benefits

  • The apparatus automates the selection of the appropriate extraction method, reducing human error and improving the reliability of the collation process.
  • It saves time and effort by automatically registering the registration information associated with the registration target.
  • The technology can be easily integrated into existing systems and workflows, enhancing their capabilities without significant modifications.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus is provided and includes a first extraction unit configured to perform first extraction processing on an image of a registration target, the first extraction processing extracting first feature information indicating a feature of the registration target, a second extraction unit configured to perform second extraction processing on the image of the registration target, the second extraction processing extracting second feature information, a comparison unit configured to compare the first feature information with the second feature information, and a registration unit configured to register registration information associated with the registration target, the registration information indicating which one of the first extraction processing and the second extraction processing is to be used for collation processing based on a result of comparison by the comparison unit.
