Generating simulation images indicating overlapping of target subjects
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240037917A1) describes an information processing method implemented in a computer for generating simulation images based on the behavior and characteristics of target subjects in a three-dimensional simulation space. The method involves obtaining a two-dimensional simulation image capturing multiple target subjects using a virtual camera and visually displaying information indicating the degree of overlapping of these subjects in the image. The process includes calculating the overlapping based on the position coordinates of the subjects and the virtual camera, training a machine learning model to output correct-solution information, and estimating information related to the subjects from captured images.
Furthermore, the patent application details a method for generating simulation images of fish behavior in a school of fish based on various parameters related to the fish's biological characteristics, surrounding environment, behavior within the school, and water color. The method involves controlling the behavior of each fish in the school based on these parameters and generating a simulation image that reflects the interactions and movements of the fish. Additionally, the process includes training a machine learning model to output correct-solution information based on the parameters used in generating the simulation image and estimating information related to the school of fish from captured images. The application also includes claims for non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums and information processing devices implementing these methods for generating simulation images.
