Abstract: A device and a method that enable safe driving by performing object recognition using image analysis and inter-vehicle communication information are implemented. Provided are an image analysis unit that analyzes an image captured by a vehicle-mounted camera and performs object recognition in the image, an unknown object identification unit that identifies an unknown object in an image area determined to be an unknown object area as a result of analysis by the image analysis unit, and a communication unit that transmits information to an unknown object such as a second vehicle identified by the unknown object identification unit. The unknown object identification unit identifies the second vehicle, which is an unknown object in the image area determined to be the unknown object area, using the peripheral object information received through the communication unit. The communication unit transmits unknown object information or control information for travel control of the second vehicle to the second vehicle.

Abstract: A first imaging section 21r of a rolling shutter mode which is configured to perform exposure of lines at different timings and a second imaging section 21g of a global shutter mode which is configured to perform exposure of lines at one timing capture images of a subject that is moving. By using a second captured image obtained by the second imaging section 21g, a distortion calculating section 33 determines a subject image distortion generated in a first captured image obtained by the first imaging section 21r. A moving-speed detecting section 35 detects the moving speed of the subject in each line, on the basis of the view angle of the captured image, the distortion amount of the image distortion determined by the distortion calculating section 33, and the distance to the subject measured by a distance measuring section 34. Accordingly, the moving speed of the subject can be detected quickly and frequently.

Abstract: To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a computer program which enable highly safe travel.
An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: a recognition processing portion configured to perform recognition processing of a recognition target based on a captured image of a surrounding environment of a mobile body; and
an output control portion configured to cause, when the recognition target is not recognized, an output apparatus to output non-recognition notification information indicating that the recognition target is not recognized.
