Signal processing apparatus, signal processing method, data structure, and data generation method

A data structure for use by a signal processing apparatus including an AI processing part configured to perform AI processing on an input image by using an AI model, an image processing part capable of selectively acquiring a different type of image as an image based on a captured image input from an outside, and a transmission part configured to transmit information indicative of a result of the AI processing performed by the AI processing part to the outside,

• the data structure comprising:
• image designation data for designating an image to be obtained by the image processing part;
• and
• AI model designation data for designating an AI model to be set to the AI processing part,
• wherein the signal processing apparatus uses the data structure in controlling settings of the image processing part on a basis of the image designation data and in controlling settings of the AI model for the AI processing part on a basis of the AI model designation data.

A signal processing apparatus comprising:

• an image processing part configured to perform signal processing on a captured image;
• an AI processing part configured to perform AI processing using an AI model on the captured image processed by the image processing part;
• a reception part configured to receive from a server apparatus image designation data for designating contents of the processing performed by the image processing part and AI model designation data for designating an AI model to be set to the AI processing part;
• a control part configured to control settings of the AI model for the AI processing part on a basis of the AI model designation data and to control settings of the image processing part on a basis of the image designation data;
• and
• a transmission part configured to transmit information indicative of a result of the AI processing performed by the AI processing part to an external imaging apparatus.

A signal processing apparatus comprising:

• a first communication part capable of communicating with an external imaging apparatus;
• a second communication part capable of communicating with an external server apparatus;
• and
• an AI processing part configured to perform AI processing using an AI model,
• wherein a captured image is received from the imaging apparatus via the first communication part,
• the AI model is received from the server apparatus via the second communication part,
• the AI processing part performs the AI processing on the received captured image by using the received AI model, and
• information indicative of a result of the AI processing performed by the AI processing part is transmitted to the imaging apparatus via the first communication part.
