Feature data structure, storage medium, information processing device and detection device

An information processing device comprising:

• a storage unit configured to store a record with a feature data structure regarding a feature, the feature data structure including a detection-related information field configured to include configuration information or environmental information which are related to detection of the feature, the detection-related information field being updatable based on a detection result by a detection device which detects the feature, the detection device being mounted on a vehicle;
• an acquisition unit configured to acquire state information which includes information associated with at least one of, at a time when a detection of the feature by the detection device succeeds or fails, a state of the vehicle, a state of surroundings of the vehicle and a state of the detection device;
• and
• an update unit configured to update the detection-related information field based on the state information acquired by the acquisition unit.

A detection device comprising:

• a detection unit configured to detect an object situated in surroundings of a vehicle;
• an acquisition unit configured to acquire from an external device a record with a data structure including a position information field indicative of information associated with a position of a feature and a detection-related information indicative of information associated with a detection of the feature;
• an identification unit configured to identify the object detected by the detection unit as the feature based on the information associated with the position of the feature;
• and
• a transmission unit configured to send to the external device state information which includes information associated with at least one of, at a time when an identification of the feature by the identification unit succeeds or fails, a state of the vehicle, a state of surroundings of the vehicle and a state of the detection unit,
• wherein the detection unit changes a configuration associated with a detection of the object based on the information associated with the detection of the feature.
