    Abstract: The image restoration device has an initialization block that initializes the luminance value of each pixel coordinate to an intermediate value in the luminance array list that stores one of a pair of polarity values and intermediate values as the luminance value for each pixel coordinate. The image restoration device also has an update block that updates the initialized luminance array list according to the pixel coordinates and polarity values for each event, and an output block that outputs the luminance array list updated by the update block over the shooting period as a binary image. By the update performed in the update block, the luminance values of the firing coordinates where the event fired in the luminance array list are overwritten by the polarity values of the event. In addition, the update preserves the luminance values of the non-firing coordinates in the luminance array list, excluding the firing coordinates.

    Abstract: A bit code converter transforms a learning feature vector using a transformation matrix updated by a transformation matrix update unit, and converts the transformed learning feature vector into a bit code. When the transformation matrix update unit substitutes a substitution candidate for an element of the transformation matrix, a cost function calculator fixes the substitution candidate that minimizes a cost function as the element. The transformation matrix update unit selects the element while sequentially changing the elements, and the cost function calculator fixes the selected element every time the transformation matrix update unit selects the element, thereby finally fixing the optimum transformation matrix. A substitution candidate specifying unit specifies the substitution candidate such that a speed of transformation processing that the bit code converter performs using the transformation matrix using the transformation matrix is enhanced based on a constraint condition stored in a constraint condition storage unit.

    Abstract: When a vehicle deviates from a guide route at a first branch point, the state of the first branch point is memorized. Afterward, when a second branch point becomes a target for a route guide and the state of the second branch point is similar to the memorized state, a user of the vehicle is provided with a guide for preventing deviation from the guide route at the second branch point with a manner of the guide changed. This procedure allows learning of tendency of the user with respect to a state apt to cause the user to mistake a guide route. A guide to help prevent a user from deviating from a guide route at a branch point can be thus performed appropriately.

    Abstract: An information provision apparatus (1) comprises an observed-object detection apparatus (11) and an information output unit (41), and outputs from the information output unit (41) information on an observed object detected by the observed-object detection apparatus (11). The observed-object detection apparatus (11) comprises: a line-of-sight detector (21) for detecting a line of sight of a driver; an object detector (22) for detecting an object which is on a line of sight of a driver, based on the direction of the line of sight detected by the line-of-sight detector (21), on a current position of a vehicle, and on map information; and an observed-object calculator (23) for determining from objects detected by the object detector (22) an observed object observed by a driver, based on time for which the object is on a line of sight. This allows an object observed by a driver to be detected even if there is no trigger from the driver.

    Abstract: A technique for stable and fast computation of a variance representing a confidence interval for an estimation result in an estimation apparatus using a neural network including an integrated layer that combines a dropout layer for dropping out part of input data and an FC layer for computing a weight is provided. When input data having a multivariate distribution is supplied to the integrated layer, a data analysis unit 30 determines, based on a numerical distribution of terms formed by respective products of each vector element of the input data and the weight, a data type of each vector element of output data from the integrated layer. An estimated confidence interval computation unit 20 applies an approximate computation method associated with the data type, to analytically compute a variance of each vector element of the output data from the integrated layer based on the input data to the integrated layer.
