INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18028046 Titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD'

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes an information processing apparatus that can identify objects in an image that may impact the movement of a vehicle. The apparatus includes an acquisition unit that obtains an image captured by a camera on the vehicle, an object detection unit that identifies objects in the image, a traveling region specifying unit that determines the area in the image where the vehicle is traveling, and a determination unit that decides which regions of the detected objects should undergo further image processing based on the traveling region.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides an information processing apparatus and the like capable of specifying an object in an image that may affect traveling of a vehicle. An information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires an image captured by an image capturing unit mounted on a vehicle; an object detection unit that detects one or more objects in the acquired image; a traveling region specifying unit that specifies a traveling region, in which the vehicle is traveling, from regions in the acquired image; and a determination unit that determines, based on the traveling region, an image processing region, which is subjected to image processing, among regions of the one or more objects.
