INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135574 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for reducing the influence of a detected position error caused by a position estimation error factor on a road surface. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- An image is acquired.
- An object position is detected in the image.
- The object position in the image is transformed into world coordinates.
- The reliability of the object position in world coordinates is calculated.
- It is determined whether the object position is influenced by a position estimation error factor on a road surface.
- The reliability of the object position is changed based on the presence of the error factor.
- The speed of an object is estimated using past history of the object position and reliability after the change.

- Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and surveillance systems to improve object detection and tracking accuracy.
- Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of position errors caused by estimation errors on road surfaces, leading to more accurate object tracking and speed estimation.

Original Abstract Submitted
in order to reduce the influence of a detected position error caused by a position estimation error factor on a road surface, an information processing device acquires an image, detects an object position in the image based on the image, transforms the object position in the image into an object position in world coordinates, calculates a reliability of the object position in the world coordinates, determines whether the object position is influenced by a position estimation error factor on a road surface, changes the reliability of the object position according to a result of the error factor presence determination, and estimates a speed of an object by using a past history of the object position in the world coordinates and a past history of the reliability after the change.
