    摘要: An information processing device is provided with a calculating unit and a determining unit. The calculating unit calculates, as a length calculation value, a length between parts set for measuring the length of the object, from an image of the object in a captured image in which the object to be measured has been imaged. In accordance with a pre-assigned selection rule, the determining unit selects, from among length calculation values calculated respectively from a plurality of captured images having different image capture time points within a set time range, the length calculation value when the object is in a basic attitude for length measurement, and an assumed length calculation value, and determines the measured value of the length of the object using the selected length calculation values.

    摘要: A detection unit of a control device detects a state of hardness of a target work surface from a captured image, which includes the target work surface, by using data acquired by machine-learning a relationship between the captured image and the state of hardness of the target work surface. The target work surface is a surface upon which the to-be-operated device applies force. A plurality of control modes are set, in accordance with differences in the state of hardness of the target work surface, as control modes for controlling the action of the to-be-operated device in response to a command output from the operation equipment. On the basis of the command and the state of hardness of the target work surface as detected by the detection unit, a selection unit selects a control mode to execute.

    摘要: A legged mobile robot includes at least two legs. The legs are movable in a front-rear direction of the legged mobile robot. Each of distal end portions of the legs is provided with a plurality of protrusions. Protruding directions of the protrusions are a plurality of directions including a lateral direction intersecting with the front-rear direction. The protrusions can come into contact with a moving surface on which the legs move. Further, the legged mobile robot includes a drive device that displaces each of the protrusions up down with respect to a sole in contact with the moving surface in the leg. The legged mobile robot further includes a control device that controls movement of the protrusions.

    摘要: In order to provide a technology with which it is possible to easily and accurately detect the length of a measured object on the basis of a captured image, this information processing device 70 is provided with a detection unit 71 and a calculation unit 72. The detection unit 71 detects feature locations from a captured image in which the measured object is photographed, the feature locations being locations on the measured object that form pairs, each feature location having a predetermined feature. The calculation unit 72 calculates the length between feature locations that form a pair based on the detection results from the detection unit 71.

    摘要: In order to simplify the control configuration for controlling a driving device and improve reliability of the operation of the driving device, an information processing device includes a detection unit and a processing unit. The detection unit detects the detection target from a captured image by using reference data that is a learning result obtained by machine learning of the detection target including the position of the center of gravity of the object in the captured image. The processing unit controls the driving device to be controlled that acts on the object having the center of gravity detected by the detection unit, by using the detection result of the detection unit.

    摘要: A reference data extraction unit extracts, from a photographic image from an imaging device that captures an image of an object to be recognized, an image of a reference image region serving as a reference and containing a detection subject in the object. A expanded data extraction unit extracts from the photographic image an image of an expanded-image region, which is an image region that includes the reference image region and is larger than the reference image region. A reduced data extraction unit extracts from the photographic image an image of a reduced-image region, which is an image region that includes the detection subject and is smaller than the reference image region, with the result that a portion of the object is outside of the region. A learning unit uses the extracted images of the image region to learn a dictionary.

    摘要: Provided is an exhibition device that is installed in a store, for example, and controls the display mode of a product image so as to call the attention of a user to a product and also arouse the interest of the user. The exhibition device is provided with an exhibition region in which an object (such as a product) is exhibited and a display region of an image corresponding to the object, and changes the display mode of the display region on the basis of object information relating to the object and/or moving body information relating to a moving body (such as a user). In addition, an exhibition system is composed of the exhibition device and an information processing device that estimates whether the moving body is interested in the object exhibited in the exhibition region. Due to this configuration, the exhibition device is able to change the display mode of the display region corresponding to an image of an object in which a moving body is estimated to be interested.
