Information processing device, information processing method, and program recording medium
In order to extract a feature suitable for comparison, the information processing device according to the present invention comprises: a prediction unit which, on the basis of the positional relationship between a plurality of objects detected and tracked in an input video and on the basis of the overlap between the plurality of objects, predicts the qualities of features extracted from the objects; a selection unit which selects, from among the plurality of objects, only those objects or that object for which the qualities of features predicted by the prediction unit satisfy a prescribed condition; and a feature extraction unit which extracts features from the objects or the object selected by the selection unit.
1. An information processing device comprising:
one or more memories storing instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
predict, based on a positional relationship between a plurality of objects detected and tracked in an input video and on an overlap between the plurality of objects, qualities of features to be extracted from the objects;
select, from among the plurality of objects, an object for which the predicted qualities of features satisfy a predetermined condition; and
extract features from the selected object.
2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to predict the qualities of features to be extracted based on a degree to which each object is hidden by another object.
3. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to predict the qualities of features to be extracted based on at least one of a resolution, an amount of motion, or a posture and an orientation of each object or an environmental factor determined according to a position of the each object.
4. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to predict the qualities of features to be extracted based on an index stored in a memory that stores an index indicating how much an environmental factor determined according to a position of each object affects prediction of the qualities of features.
5. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to:
predict an improvement possibility that a variation of the features is improved by extracting the features, and
select an object for which the predicted improvement possibility further satisfies a predetermined condition.
6. The information processing device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to predict the improvement possibility in such a way that the improvement possibility increases as elapsed time from previous feature extraction is larger.
7. The information processing device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to predict the improvement possibility in such a way that the improvement possibility increases as a number of times of extraction of the features thus far is smaller.
8. The information processing device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to predict the improvement possibility in such a way that the improvement possibility increases as an object movement amount is larger.
9. The information processing device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to predict the improvement possibility further based on a category determined according to an object state.
10. The information processing device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to predict the improvement possibility further based on a tendency of an object state change determined according to object position.
11. An information processing method comprising:
predicting, based on a positional relationship between a plurality of objects detected and tracked in an input video and on an overlap between the plurality of objects, qualities of features to be extracted from the objects;
selecting, from among the plurality of objects, an object for which the qualities of features satisfy a predetermined condition; and
extracting features from the selected object.
12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program for causing a computer to execute:
a prediction processing of predicting, based on a positional relationship between a plurality of objects detected and tracked in an input video and on an overlap between the plurality of objects, qualities of features to be extracted from the objects;
a selection processing of selecting, from among the plurality of objects, an object for which the qualities of features predicted by the prediction processing satisfy a predetermined condition; and
a feature extraction processing of extracting features from the object selected by the selection processing.
