Abstract:
A detection device has a neural network process section performing a neural network process using parameters to calculate and output a classification result and a regression result of each of frames in an input image. The classification result shows a presence of a person in the input image. The regression result shows a position of the person in the input image. The parameters are determined based on a learning process using a plurality of positive samples and negative samples. The positive samples have segments of a sample image containing at least a part of the person and a true value of the position of the person in the sample image. The negative samples have segments of the sample image containing no person.
Abstract:
A discriminator based on supervised learning includes a data expanding unit and a discriminating unit. The data expanding unit performs data expansion on unknown data which is an object to be discriminated in such a manner that a plurality of pieces of pseudo known data are generated. The discriminating unit applies the plurality of pieces of unknown pseudo data that has been expanded by the data expansion unit to a discriminative model so as to discriminate the plurality of pieces of pseudo unknown data, and integrates discriminative results of the plurality of pieces of pseudo unknown data to perform class classification such that the unknown data is classified into classes.
Abstract:
A learning apparatus performs a learning process for a feed-forward multilayer neural network with supervised learning. The network includes an input layer, an output layer, and at least one hidden layer having at least one probing neuron that does not transfer an output to an uppermost layer side of the network. The learning apparatus includes a learning unit and a layer quantity adjusting unit. The learning unit performs a learning process by calculation of a cost derived by a cost function defined in the multilayer neural network using a training data set for supervised learning. The layer quantity adjusting unit removes at least one uppermost layer from the network based on the cost derived by the output from the probing neuron, and sets, as the output layer, the probing neuron in the uppermost layer of the remaining layers.
Abstract:
When it is determined that a minimum value of a cost function of a candidate structure obtained by a training process of a specified-number sequence is equal to or higher than that of the cost function of the candidate structure obtained by the first step of a previous sequence immediately before the specified-number sequence, a method performs, as a random removal step of the specified sequence, a step of randomly removing at least one unit from the candidate structure obtained by the first step of the previous sequence again. This gives a new generated structure of the target neural network based on the random removal to the first step as the input structure of the target neural network. The method performs the specified-number sequence again using the new generated structure of the target neural network.
Abstract:
When a driving support apparatus is under automatic driving of a vehicle or an automatic driving button is pressed under manual driving, vicinity image data is acquired from an in-vehicle camera. When a predetermined target object is recognized in the vicinity image data, a visibility reduction process is applied to image data of the recognized target object. The visibility reduction process applies at least one of defocusing; decreasing color information; and decreasing edge intensity, to the image data of the recognized target object. In contrast, any visibility reduction process is not applied to any other image data other than the image data of the recognized target object. An image display apparatus displays the vicinity image by a combination of the image data of the recognized target object of which the visibility is reduced and the other image data of which the visibility is not reduced.
Abstract:
The moving object recognition system includes: a camera that is installed in a vehicle and captures continuous single-view images; a moving object detecting unit that detects a moving object from the images captured by the camera; a relative approach angle estimating unit that estimates the relative approach angle of the moving object detected by the moving object detecting unit with respect to the camera; a collision risk calculating unit that calculates the risk of the moving object colliding with the vehicle, based on the relationship between the relative approach angle and the moving object direction from the camera toward the moving object; and a reporting unit that reports a danger to the driver of the vehicle in accordance with the risk calculated by the collision risk calculating unit.
