Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, a program, and a moving body that enable removal of noise in distance images. A distance image having a pixel value corresponding to a distance to an object and an intensity image having a pixel value corresponding to the received light intensity of light reflected from the object that are taken at the same angle are acquired, and a pixel value of a pixel in the distance image that corresponds to a pixel having a pixel value smaller than a predetermined threshold in the intensity image is converted into a no-distance pixel. Noise in the distance image is removed in this way. The present disclosure is applicable to vehicle-mounted systems.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a control device, an information processing method, and a program that are capable of planning a correct route as a movement route of a mobile object. A control device on one aspect of the present technology is a device that generates a map representing a position occupied by an object on the basis of a detection result by an optical sensor, estimates a position of a mirror-surface object that is an object having a mirror surface, and plans, in a case where presence of the mirror-surface object is estimated in a dividing section where an arrangement of predetermined objects is divided, a route that does not pass through the dividing section as a movement route of the mobile object on the basis of the map. The present technology can be applied to a mobile object such as a robot that moves autonomously.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present technology includes an estimation unit, a generation unit, and a frequency control unit. The estimation unit estimates at least one of a location or a posture of a mobile object. The generation unit generates a movement plan for moving the mobile object. The frequency control unit controls frequency of update of the movement plan to be performed by the generation unit, on the basis of load index information serving as an index of a load on the estimation unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an input unit and a control unit. The input unit is configured to be capable of inputting, as operation information for detecting an operation on an operation surface of an operation body, first operation information for detecting an up-operation from the operation surface, the first operation information including information on an up-position as information on a position at which the up-operation is performed. The control unit is configured to determine whether or not the input first operation information is valid based on a change amount in a movement direction on the operation surface of the operation body at a position with the up-position being a reference.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, a self-localization method, a program, and a mobile body that allow for improvement in the accuracy of self-localization of the mobile body. The information processing apparatus includes: a comparison unit that compares a plurality of captured images with a reference image imaged in advance, the plurality of captured images being images obtained by imaging a predetermined direction at different positions; and a self-localization unit that performs self-localization of a mobile body on the basis of a result of the comparison between each of the plurality of captured images and the reference image. The present technology can be applied to a system that performs self-localization of a mobile body, for example.
