Abstract

A purpose of the present invention is to easily select an appropriate processing format, an appropriate parameter, or the like by predicting a process result that varies according to content of data before executing the process. According to the present invention, provided is an information processing device including: a feature amount extraction unit configured to extract a feature amount of data serving as a target of a process; a feature amount matching unit configured to match the feature amount with one or more reference feature amounts associated with a prediction result of the process in a database; and a result prediction unit configured to predict a result obtained in a case where the process is executed for the data, on the basis of a result of the matching.

Claims (52)

1. An information processing device comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

receive image data from an image sensor,

extract a feature amount of the image data,

match the feature amount of the image data with one or more reference feature amounts in a database based on a calculated distance between the extracted feature amount and the one or more reference feature amounts, wherein the database is constructed by using machine learning, and

in response to a matching result,

predict a result of a process for the image data, and

determine the process to be executed based on the predicted result.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

determine a setting of the process to be executed.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the setting includes a format of the process or a parameter of the process.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

determine whether or not to execute the process.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the predicted result is quantitative information or qualitative information.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the predicted result is information indicating that the process is not suitable for the extracted feature amount.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

update the database based on the matching result.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

update the database on the basis of a relation between the extracted the feature amount and the one or more reference feature amounts.

9. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

update, if the matching result is a failure, the database by registering the extracted feature amount as a new reference feature amount.

10. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

execute the determined process regardless of the extracted feature amount if the matching result is a failure.

11. A method comprising:

receiving image data from an image sensor;

extracting a feature amount of the image data;

matching the feature amount of the image data with one or more reference feature amounts in a database based on a calculated distance between the extracted feature amount and the one or more reference feature amounts, wherein the database is constructed by using machine learning; and

in response to a matching result,

predict a result of a process for the image data, and

determine the process to be executed based on the predicted result.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by processing circuitry cause the processing circuitry to execute a method, the method comprising:

receiving image data from an image sensor;

extracting a feature amount of the image data;

matching the feature amount of the image data with one or more reference feature amounts in a database based on a calculated distance between the extracted feature amount and the one or more reference feature amounts, wherein the database is constructed by using machine learning; and

in response to a matching result,

predict a result of a process for the image data, and

determine the process to be executed based on the predicted result.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining a setting of the process to be executed.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the setting includes a format of the process or a parameter of the process.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining whether or not to execute the process.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the predicted result is quantitative information or qualitative information.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the predicted result is information indicating that the process is not suitable for the extracted feature amount.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

updating the database based on the matching result.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the method further comprises:

updating the database on the basis of a relation between the extracted the feature amount and the one or more reference feature amounts.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

updating, if the matching result is a failure, the database by registering the extracted feature amount as a new reference feature amount.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

executing the determined process regardless of the extracted feature amount if the matching result is a failure.
