INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177600 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing device that can analyze captured images of road areas to estimate traffic volume.
- Acquire a captured image of a region including a road area, position information for a vehicle in the region, and operation information of the vehicle.
- Use the position and operation information to determine the parking area of the vehicle.
- Identify the road area in the captured image using the parking area, extract vehicles in the road area, and estimate traffic volume.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in traffic management systems, urban planning, and transportation infrastructure development.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in efficiently estimating traffic volume in specific road areas, which can aid in traffic flow optimization and congestion management.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved traffic management, better urban planning decisions, and enhanced transportation infrastructure development.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include traffic monitoring systems, smart city solutions, and transportation analytics services.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traffic monitoring systems using cameras and sensors to estimate traffic volume in specific areas.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device handle different weather conditions that may affect image quality?
The patent application does not specify how the device adjusts for varying weather conditions that could impact the accuracy of the captured images.
What is the processing time required for the device to estimate traffic volume in a given road area?
The patent application does not mention the processing time needed for the device to analyze the captured images and estimate traffic volume accurately.
Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing device, includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a captured image, which is captured from above, of a region including a road area, position information for a vehicle that is positioned in the region, and operation information relating to an operation of the vehicle; use the position information and the operation information to determine a parking area in which the vehicle is parked; and use the parking area to identify the road area included in the captured image, extract vehicles present in the road area, and estimate a traffic volume in the road area.
