==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.
