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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177342 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that can notify of information on an object affecting accuracy in self-position estimation. It includes a self-position estimating unit, an accuracy determining unit, an image analyzing unit, and a notification unit.

  • Self-position estimating unit: Estimates self-position based on an image.
  • Accuracy determining unit: Determines accuracy in self-position estimation.
  • Image analyzing unit: Detects objects from the image.
  • Notification unit: Notifies information on detected objects when accuracy is outside a predetermined range.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Autonomous vehicles for accurate self-positioning.
  • Augmented reality systems for precise object detection.

Problems Solved

This technology solves:

  • Inaccuracies in self-position estimation.
  • Lack of real-time object information affecting accuracy.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved accuracy in self-position estimation.
  • Real-time notifications of objects affecting accuracy.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include:

  • Navigation systems for enhanced accuracy.
  • Surveillance systems for improved object detection.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that estimate self-position based on images but do not include real-time object notifications for accuracy improvement.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device handle complex environments with multiple objects affecting accuracy?

The patent application does not specify how the device distinguishes between multiple objects in complex environments.

What is the processing speed of the device for real-time notifications?

The patent application does not mention the processing speed of the device for real-time notifications of object information.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing device that can notify of information on an object affecting accuracy in self-position estimation includes: a self-position estimating unit configured to estimate a self-position on the basis of an image; an accuracy determining unit configured to determine accuracy in estimation of the self-position; an image analyzing unit configured to detect an object from the image; and a notification unit configured to notify of information on the object detected by the image analyzing unit in a case in which the accuracy is outside of a predetermined range.
