A processing load in a case where a plurality of different sensors is used can be reduced. An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a recognition processing unit (15, 40b) configured to perform recognition processing for recognizing a target object by adding, to an output of a first sensor (23), region information that is generated according to object likelihood detected in a process of object recognition processing based on an output of a second sensor (21) different from the first sensor.

A receiver receives a radio wave transmitted to a target and scattered by the target to acquire a signal. An imaging unit generates a 3D complex image of the target based on the signal. A value extraction unit extracts intensity information and phase in including an intensity matrix and a phase matrix, the extracted intensity information constituting the intensity matrix and the extracted phases information constituting the phase matrix. A subset selection unit selects a subset from the value set. A transformation unit changes a representation of the subset to generate a 2D real image. A detection unit detects whether there is an undesired object on the target based on the 2D real image.

A class label of a three-dimensional point cloud can be identified with high performance. The key point choice unit 22 extracts a key point cloud 35 including three-dimensional points efficiently representing features of an object and a non-key point cloud 37. A inference unit 24 takes, as representative points, a plurality of points selected by down-sampling from each of the key point cloud 35 and the non-key point cloud 37, extracts, with respect to each of the representative points, a feature of each representative point from coordinates and the feature of the representative point and coordinates and features of neighboring points positioned near the representative point. The inference unit 24 extracts features of a plurality of new representative points from the coordinates and the features of the plurality of representative points, coordinates and features of a plurality of three-dimensional points before sampling which are the new representative points, and coordinates and features of neighboring points positioned near the new representative points. The inference unit 24 derives a class label from the coordinates and features of the plurality of representative points, or the coordinates and features of the plurality of new representative points, and outputs the class label.

Systems and methods are described for monitoring detection of objects in a sensor. The system can generate an occupancy array based on scene data corresponding to a scene of a vehicle. The array can include points that represent a location within the environment of the vehicle and an occupancy value that indicates whether an object is detected at that location. The system can modify an occupancy value of at least one point in the array and identify at least one static object miss based on a group of occupancy values of a group of points in the array.
