Abstract
An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a detection unit, an estimation unit, and a prediction unit. The detection unit detects a target object from an input image. The estimation unit estimates a posture of the detected target object. The prediction unit predicts an action of the target object on a basis of the estimated posture.
Claims15
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- detect a target object from an input image;
- calculate at least one contact point of the detected target object with a road surface;
- set a ground line in a vertical direction from the calculated at least one contact point;
- determine a relative position of a feature point of the target object with respect to the set ground line;
- estimate a posture of the target object based on the determined relative position of the feature point of the target object;
- and
- predict an action of the target object based on the estimated posture.
An information processing method, comprising:
- detecting a target object from an input image;
- calculating at least one contact point of the detected target object with a road surface;
- setting a ground line in a vertical direction from the calculated at least one contact point;
- determining a relative position of a feature point of the target object with respect to the set ground line;
- estimating a posture of the target object based on the determined relative position of the feature point of the target object;
- and
- predicting an action of the target object based on the estimated posture.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- detecting a target object from an input image;
- calculating at least one contact point of the detected target object with a road surface;
- setting a ground line in a vertical direction from the calculated at least one contact point;
- determining a relative position of a feature point of the target object with respect to the set ground line;
- estimating a posture of the target object based on the determined relative position of the feature point of the target object;
- and
- predicting an action of the target object based on the estimated posture.
