Abstract
A calculation device includes a sensor information acquisition unit configured to acquire first sensor information acquired by a first sensor that detects a moving object classified into a first state from an outside of the moving object, and acquire second sensor information acquired by a second sensor that detects the moving object classified into a second state from the outside, and a calculation unit configured to calculate at least one of a position and an orientation of the moving object by using the first sensor information without executing preprocessing, and execute the preprocessing to calculate at least one of the position and the orientation of the moving object by using the second sensor information.
Claims15
A calculation device in which a moving object is configured to move by unmanned driving in a factory in which a plurality of manufacturing steps is executed to manufacture the moving object, and the moving object is classified into a plurality of states by having different appearances depending on the manufacturing steps, the calculation device comprising:
- a sensor information acquisition unit configured to acquire first sensor information that is output from a first sensor by detecting the moving object classified into a first state among the states via the first sensor from an outside of the moving object and that represents the moving object classified into the first state, and acquire second sensor information that is output from a second sensor of a different kind from the first sensor by detecting the moving object classified into a second state different from the first state among the states via the second sensor from the outside and that represents the moving object classified into the second state;
- and
- a calculation unit configured to calculate at least one of a position and an orientation of the moving object by using the first sensor information without executing preprocessing, and execute the preprocessing to calculate at least one of the position and the orientation of the moving object by using the second sensor information.
A calculation system in which a moving object is configured to move by unmanned driving in a factory in which a plurality of manufacturing steps is executed to manufacture the moving object, and the moving object is classified into a plurality of states by having different appearances depending on the manufacturing steps, the calculation system comprising:
- a first sensor configured to output first sensor information representing the moving object classified into a first state among the states by detecting the moving object classified into the first state from an outside of the moving object;
- a second sensor configured to output second sensor information representing the moving object classified into a second state different from the first state among the states by detecting the moving object classified into the second state from the outside, the second sensor being a different kind from the first sensor;
- and
- a calculation unit configured to calculate at least one of a position and an orientation of the moving object by using the first sensor information without executing preprocessing, and execute the preprocessing to calculate at least one of the position and the orientation of the moving object by using the second sensor information.
An information processing device that is used to cause a moving object to move, in which the moving object is configured to move by unmanned driving in a factory in which a plurality of manufacturing steps is executed to manufacture the moving object, and the moving object is classified into a plurality of states by having different appearances depending on the manufacturing steps, the information processing device comprising:
- a determination information acquisition unit configured to acquire at least one of state information indicating which of the states the state of the moving object is, and step information indicating which of the manufacturing steps the manufacturing step being executed on the moving object is;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine which of a first sensor and a second sensor of a different kind from the first sensor is used to detect the moving object by using at least one of the state information and the step information, for calculating at least one of a position and an orientation of the moving object.
A factory that manufactures a moving object, in which a plurality of manufacturing steps is executed to manufacture the moving object in the factory, the moving object is configured to move by unmanned driving in the factory, and the moving object is classified into a plurality of states by having different appearances by the manufacturing steps, the factory comprising:
- a first sensor installed in a first area in which the moving object classified into a first state among the states moves;
- and
- a second sensor installed in a second area in which the moving object classified into a second state different from the first state among the states moves, wherein:
- the first sensor is any one of a camera and a Light detection and ranging;
- the second sensor is the Light detection and ranging in a case where the first sensor is the camera;
- and
- the second sensor is the camera in a case where the first sensor is the Light detection and ranging.
