Information processing apparatus and remote apparatus for object, using distance measuring apparatus
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus using a distance measuring apparatus, said information processing apparatus comprising:
- first and second area sensors;
a distance calculation circuit which divides said first area sensor comprising a plurality of pixels into a plurality of pixel blocks, divides said second area sensor comprising a plurality of pixels into a plurality of pixel blocks, and calculates distance for each of pixel blocks in said first and second area sensors; and
a shape determination circuit which selects pixels blocks, as a specific area, which are calculated as representing a shorter distance than the distance represented by the other pixel blocks, extracts a contrast changing point in the specific area on the basis of brightness information of each of pixels in the specific area, confines a boundary portion of an image in the specific area from the extracted contrast changing point information, and specifies a shape of the image.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus using a distance measuring apparatus includes a distance measuring device for producing distance information related to a distance for each of different areas in a scene, a photometry device for measuring brightness information of the scene, the photometry device dividing each of the areas measured by the distance measuring device into a plurality of divided areas and outputting the brightness information for each of the divided areas, and a signal processor. The signal processor detects a characteristic portion on the scene from the distance information for each of the areas and the brightness information from each of the divided areas, detects the characteristic portion in units for each of the divided areas, compares the characteristic portion with standard information on the scene and extracts scene information.
