Application: Information processing system, information processing method, and non-transitory storage medium (Patent ID: US20240104680A1)

The patent filed by NEC Corp. describes an information processing system designed to enhance the accuracy of results obtained from analyzing images of roads using a machine learning model. The system includes components for processing road images, generating capturing situation information related to the image capture, and storing the image based on this information. The capturing situation information encompasses details such as capturing timing, conditions, apparatus information, and road characteristics, which are crucial for improving the analysis accuracy.

Furthermore, the system involves utilizing analysis models to acquire capturing conditions and road information from the images, along with incorporating external data and settings for generating comprehensive capturing situation information. The system also includes mechanisms for deciding whether to store the image based on the capturing situation information and specific storage conditions, ensuring that only relevant images are stored for machine learning purposes. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated information processing system tailored for collecting and analyzing machine learning images of roads with a focus on enhancing accuracy and efficiency through detailed capturing situation information.
