Information processing apparatus and information processing method, and computer program

Abstract

The information provides an information processing apparatus, an information processing method and computer program. An information processing apparatus includes information input units which inputs observation information in a real space; an event detection unit which generates event information including estimated position and identification information on users existing in the actual space through analysis of the input information; and an information integration processing unit which sets hypothesis probability distribution data regarding user position and user identification information and generates analysis information including the user position information through hypothesis update and sorting out based on the event information, in which the event detection unit detects a face area from an image frame input from an image information input unit, extracts face attribute information from the face area, and calculates and outputs a face attribute score corresponding to the extracted face attribute information to the information integration processing unit, and the information integration processing unit applies the face attribute score to calculate target face attribute expectation values.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention contains subject matter related to Japanese Patent Application JP2007-317711 filed in the Japan Patent Office on Dec. 7, 2007, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. [0002] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a computer program. Specifically, the present invention relates to a processing device, an information processing method, and a computer program in which information from the outside world such as images or audio is input, and an analysis of the external environment is performed based on the input information, specifically, an analysis of the speaker The processing of the analysis of the position of the speaker or the identity of the speaker. Background technique [0003] A system for performing mutual processing between a human and an information processing device such as a PC or a robot is called a human-computer interaction sy...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, the comprehensive processing method performed in the system according to the prior art using a deterministic way of inputting uncertain and asynchronous data from microphones and cameras lacks robustness , and the problem is that only data with lower precision can be obtained
