    摘要: [Object] To process an image captured by a camera mounted on a moving object device or a user to be suitable for display on an image display device fixed to the head or face of the user.[Solution] The image rendering processor 1042, in the beginning, corrects the user's head posture angle qh using the camera posture angle qc (F1421), and clips a display angle of view depending on the corrected user's head posture angle qh* from the captured image to render a free viewpoint image (F1422). Then, the image processing device 1040 transmits the free viewpoint image rendered by the image rendering processor 1042 to the display device 1020 via the communication unit 1041, and the image is displayed on the display device 1020 (F1430).

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a driving control apparatus, a driving control method, and a program that can safety update a personalization function that has been learned to match habits and customs of each driver on the basis of a driving operation of a driver and detection results of various sensors.A personalization function for each driver is found by learning on the basis of driving operation conducted by a driver through manual driving and detection results of various sensors provided on a vehicle body. Verification simulation is carried out by using the found personalization function, and when safety thereof is confirmed, the personalization function is updated as a new personalization function. Autonomous driving reflecting habits and customs of the driver can be realized by correcting an action command found during autonomous driving on the basis of the detection results with the personalization function, thereby realizing safe and comfortable autonomous driving. The present disclosure is applicable to motor vehicles that drive autonomously.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a driving control apparatus, a driving control method, and a program that can resolve a conflict between a deliberate action and a reflex action during determination of a next action in autonomous driving.
    During autonomous driving, a reflex action is determined as a simplified action on the basis of detection results detected by a variety of sensors provided in a vehicle, and a deliberate action ranked higher than a reflex action is determined through elaborate processing. A plurality of resolution modes are made available to deal with a possible conflict between the reflex action and the deliberate action, and by which of the resolution modes the conflict is resolved is specified in advance so that the conflict is resolved by the specified resolution mode. The present disclosure is applicable to motor vehicles that drive autonomously.
