Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and an object detection system. A stereo camera performs imaging by a right camera and a left camera to acquire a stereo image and a millimeter wave radar acquires a radar image in which a position of an object is detected in a radiation range of millimeter waves by using millimeter waves. Then, by communication via a communication apparatus with a target in which positional information is known, it is determined whether or not the target is reliable, and in a case where it is determined that the target is reliable, calibration processing is performed for eliminating a deviation in coordinate systems generated in the stereo image and the radar image in which the target is detected.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a mobile object and a method for controlling the mobile object that can improve the distance measurement accuracy. A cooperative sensing section obtains sensing information by performing sensing in cooperation with another mobile object. A control section controls movement according to a cooperative distance measurement using the sensing information. The cooperative distance measurement is a distance measurement performed in cooperation with the another mobile object. The present technology can be applied to a package delivery system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, a program, and an object detection system that enable an object detection to be accurately performed. A stereo camera performs imaging by a right camera and a left camera to thereby acquire a stereo image and a millimeter wave radar acquires a radar image in which a position of an object is detected in a radiation range of millimeter waves by using millimeter waves that are radio waves of a millimeter wave band. Then, by communication via a communication apparatus with a target in which positional information is known, it is determined whether or not the target is reliable, and in a case where it is determined that the target is reliable, calibration processing is performed for eliminating a deviation in coordinate systems generated in the stereo image and the radar image in which the target is detected. For example, the present technology can be applied to an on-vehicle sensor mounted on a vehicle in which automatic driving control is performed.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that enable enhancement of the accuracy in the recognition of locations of a moving body. The information processing apparatus is arranged on a moving body and includes an own-location recognition block configured to recognize, on the basis of an image taken from the moving body, a first own location that is an absolute location of the moving body; a moving body recognition block configured to recognize a relative location relative to the moving body of another moving body in the image taken from the moving body; a communication block configured to execute communication with the another moving body so as to obtain the absolute location of the another moving body; and an own location computation block configured to compute, on the basis of the absolute location of the another moving body and the relative location of the another moving body, a second own location that is an absolute location of the moving body. The present technology is applicable to systems for recognizing vehicle locations, for example.
