The patent application does not provide information on the computational resources required to run the system and perform the object position correction.


Original Abstract Submitted

An acquisition unit acquires a target image including a plurality of target objects, object position information, and object-related information. The object-related information to be acquired by the acquisition unit includes at least one of a generation time of the object position information acquired by the acquisition unit and a speed of the target object. A generation unit generates reliability information of the object position information by use of at least the object-related information. A selection unit selects one or more pieces of the object position information by use of the reliability information. A correction data acquisition unit acquires correction data of the object position information regarding each of the one or more pieces of the selected object position information. A correction unit corrects the plurality of the object position information by use of one or more pieces of the acquired correction data.
