Abstract

A difference detection device includes a difference detection unit configured to, based on association among a first image and a second image captured at different times and illustrating a substantially identical space and encoding information of each of the first image and the second image, detect difference between a third image and a fourth image captured at different times and illustrating a substantially identical space, and the encoding information is information acquired from data including the first image encoded and data including the second image encoded, before inverse transform processing is executed in decoding processing executed on each of the first image and the second image.

Claims (29)

1. A difference detection device comprising:

a processor;

a storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, perform to:

based on association among a first image and a second image captured at different times and illustrating a substantially identical space and encoding information of each of the first image and the second image, detect difference between a third image and a fourth image captured at different times and illustrating a substantially identical space,

wherein the encoding information is information acquired from data including the first image encoded and data including the second image encoded, before inverse transform processing is executed in decoding processing executed on each of the first image and the second image,

wherein the association is association of output values from neural networks at a previous stage, which have executed learning based on any of the first image, the second image, and the encoding information; and

a neural network at a later stage, which has executed learning so that each output value approaches a first value when it is determined that the first image and the second image have difference and the output value approaches a second value when it is determined that the first image and the second image have no difference.

2. The difference detection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the third image and the fourth image are blocks that divide a frame related to an image, and

the computer program instructions further perform to detects the difference between the third image and the fourth image for each block of the frame.

3. The difference detection device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the encoding information is information of any of an encoding amount, an intra prediction mode, a transform coefficient, and an image characteristic.

4. The difference detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising a transform unit configured to transform the encoding information into an image format,

wherein the computer program instructions further perform to detects the difference between the third image and the fourth image based on the encoding information transformed into the image format.

5. A difference detection device comprising

a processor;

a storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, perform to:

based on association among a first image and a second image captured at different times and illustrating a substantially identical space and encoding information of each of the first image and the second image, detect difference between a third image and a fourth image captured at different times and illustrating a substantially identical space,

wherein the encoding information is information acquired from data including the first image being encoded and data including the second image being encoded, after transform processing is executed in encoding processing executed on the first image and the second image,

wherein the association is association of output values from neural networks at a previous stage, which have executed learning based on any of the first image, the second image, and the encoding information; and

a neural network at a later stage, which has executed learning so that each output value approaches a first value when it is determined that the first image and the second image have difference and the output value approaches a second value when it is determined that the first image and the second image have no difference.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by a processor of a computer, cause the computer to function as the difference detection device of claim 1 .

7. A difference detection device comprising:

a processor;

a storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, perform to:

based on association among a first image and a second image captured at different times and illustrating a substantially identical space and encoding information of each of the first image and the second image, detect difference between a third image and a fourth image captured at different times and illustrating a substantially identical space,

wherein the encoding information is information acquired from data including the first image encoded and data including the second image encoded, before inverse transform processing is executed in decoding processing executed on each of the first image and the second image; and

a transform unit configured to transform the encoding information into an image format,

wherein the computer program instructions further perform to detect the difference between the third image and the fourth image based on the encoding information transformed into the image format.
