The present invention relates to a method for assisting in the detection of elements in an environment, comprising: the acquisition of a first wide-field image of an environment by a first sensor (14A) having a first field of view and a first resolution, the generation of a fused image from first narrow-field images of the environment acquired by a second sensor (14B) having a second field of view strictly less than the first field of view and a second resolution finer than the first resolution, In response to the detection of a difference relating to an element on a second wide-field image acquired by the first sensor (14A), compared to the first wide-field image, the acquisition of a second narrow-field image imaging the difference, and the update the fused image with the second narrow-field image.

A display device featuring a touch detection and a fingerprint imaging functions is provided. A display device includes a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element. The light-emitting element includes a first pixel electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a common electrode, and the light-receiving element includes a second pixel electrode, an active layer, and the common electrode. The first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode are provided on the same plane. The common electrode overlaps with the first pixel electrode with the light-emitting layer therebetween, and overlaps with the second pixel electrode with the active layer therebetween. A first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an insulating layer are provided above the common electrode. The insulating layer is provided above the first conductive layer, and the second conductive layer is provided above the insulating layer. The light-receiving element has a function of receiving light emitted from the light-emitting element.

A vision sensor includes a pixel array comprising pixels arranged in a matrix, an event detection circuit, an event rate controller, and an interface circuit. Each pixel is configured to generate an electrical signal in response to detecting a change in incident light intensity. The event detection circuit detects whether a change in incident light intensity has occurred at any pixels, based on processing electrical signals received from one or more pixels, and generates one or more event signals corresponding to one or more pixels at which a change in intensity of incident light is determined to have occurred. The event rate controller selects a selection of one or more event signals corresponding to a region of interest on the pixel array as one or more output event signals. The interface circuit communicates with an external processor to transmit the one or more output event signals to the external processor.

An information processing device (2) includes a division unit (322) that divides an input image into a plurality of divided images having the same size, a rotation unit (324) that rotates, according to positions on the input image before the division, the plurality of divided images, and a recognition unit (325) that recognizes the plurality of divided images after the rotation.

Provided are systems for switchable wheel view mirrors, which can selectively provide views of one or more wheels of a vehicle to, for example, check for obstructions. A system for a switchable wheel view mirror can include an image sensor coupled to a vehicle, a reflective surface, and an actuator. The image sensor can capture an image within a field of view of the image sensor. The reflective surface can be coupled to the actuator which moves the reflective surface between a first position and a second position. In the first position, a view of at least a portion of a wheel of the vehicle is visible within the reflective surface and the reflective surface is disposed at least partially within the field of view of the image sensor. Methods and computer program products are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that allow for appropriately pulling over to a safe road shoulder when an emergency occurs during automated driving. On the basis of distance information from a depth sensor or the like, a travelable region available for a vehicle to travel is set like an occupancy map, and image attribute information is generated from an image by semantic segmentation. On the basis of the image attribute information, an evacuation space is set in the travelable region in accordance with the situation of the road surface of the travelable region, and thus an evacuation space map is created. The present disclosure can be applied to a mobile object.
