Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a distance information acquisition unit configured to acquire distance information obtained by measurement by a sensor, an area information acquisition unit configured to acquire information relating to a virtual three-dimensional protection area set within a measurable region of the sensor, a blind spot calculation unit configured to calculate a three-dimensional blind spot region representing a blind spot of the sensor, on the basis of the distance information, and a display unit configured to display the protection area and the blind spot region in a virtual three-dimensional space.
Claims16
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a distance information acquisition unit configured to acquire distance information obtained by measurement by a sensor;
- an area information acquisition unit configured to acquire information relating to a virtual three-dimensional protection area set within a measurable region of the sensor;
- a blind spot calculation unit configured to calculate a three-dimensional blind spot region representing a blind spot of the sensor, on the basis of the distance information;
- and
- a display unit configured to display the protection area and the blind spot region in a virtual three-dimensional space;
- and
- a recognition unit configured to recognize a movement range of a robot installed in the measurable region from pieces of the distance information obtained by measurement by the sensor at a plurality of timings while the robot is being moved,
- wherein the blind spot calculation unit calculates the three-dimensional blind spot region generated by the robot from the movement range of the robot recognized by the recognition unit.
An information processing method, comprising:
- a step of acquiring distance information obtained by measurement by a sensor;
- a step of acquiring information relating to a virtual three-dimensional protection area set in a measurable region of the sensor;
- a step of calculating a three-dimensional blind spot region representing a blind spot of the sensor, on the basis of the distance information;
- a step of displaying the protection area and the blind spot region in a virtual three-dimensional space;
- and
- a step of recognizing a movement range of a robot installed in the measurable region from pieces of the distance information obtained by measurement by the sensor at a plurality of timings while the robot is being moved,
- wherein the three-dimensional blind spot region generated by the robot is calculated from the recognized movement range of the robot.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute each step of an information processing method, comprising:
- a step of acquiring distance information obtained by measurement by a sensor;
- a step of acquiring information relating to a virtual three-dimensional protection area set in a measurable region of the sensor;
- a step of calculating a three-dimensional blind spot region representing a blind spot of the sensor, on the basis of the distance information;
- a step of displaying the protection area and the blind spot region in a virtual three-dimensional space;
- and
- a step of recognizing a movement range of a robot installed in the measurable region from pieces of the distance information obtained by measurement by the sensor at a plurality of timings while the robot is being moved,
- wherein the three-dimensional blind spot region generated by the robot is calculated from the recognized movement range of the robot.
