Abstract
There is provided an information processing device and an information processing method capable of giving a sense of realism as if a partner connected in video communication is present in one's sight. The information processing device including a communication unit configured to transmit and receive an image to and from a communication connection destination. Further, a control unit is configured to control a display range and a position of the image, on the basis of a display size and installation position information of a display device that displays the image and distance information of a subject appearing in the image that is acquired from the image.
Claims11
An information processing device, comprising:
- communication circuitry configured to transmit and receive an image to and from a communication connection destination;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- estimate a distance between a camera and a subject that appears in the image, wherein
- the estimated distance is based on a relationship between a size of a face of the subject and at least one of an age or a sex of the subject, and
- the camera is associated with the communication connection destination;
- calculate an actual height from a ground to the face of the subject based on spec information of the camera and the estimated distance from the camera to the subject, wherein the spec information includes first angle-of-view information of the camera in a direction horizontal to the ground and second angle-of-view information of the camera in a direction perpendicular to the ground;
- and
- control a display range of the image and a position of the image based on installation position information of a display device that displays the image, a display size of the display device, the calculated actual height, and
- the estimated distance of the subject.
An information processing method, comprising:
- transmitting and receiving an image to and from a communication connection destination;
- estimating a distance between a camera and a subject that appears in the image, wherein
- the estimated distance is based on a relationship between a size of a face of the subject and at least one of an age or a sex of the subject, and
- the camera is associated with the communication connection destination;
- calculating an actual height from a ground to the face of the subject based on spec information of the camera and the estimated distance from the camera to the subject, wherein the spec information includes first angle-of-view information of the camera in a direction horizontal to the ground and second angle-of-view information of the camera in a direction perpendicular to the ground;
- and
- controlling a display range of the image and a position of the image based on installation position information of a display device that displays the image, a display size of the display device, the calculated actual height, and the estimated distance of the subject.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- transmitting and receiving an image to and from a communication connection destination;
- estimating a distance between a camera and a subject that appears in the image, wherein
- the estimated distance is based on a relationship between a size of a face of the subject and at least one of an age or a sex of the subject, and
- the camera is associated with the communication connection destination;
- calculating an actual height from a ground to the face of the subject based on spec information of the camera and the estimated distance from the camera to the subject, wherein the spec information includes first angle-of-view information of the camera in a direction horizontal to the ground and second angle-of-view information of the camera in a direction perpendicular to the ground;
- and
- controlling a display range of the image and a position of the image based on installation position information of a display device that displays the image, a display size of the display device, the calculated actual height, and the estimated distance of the subject.
