Abrégé
A pedestrian's perceived feeling of safety in a driving environment can be improved. It can be determined whether an eye trajectory of a pedestrian moves toward a direction that is opposite a travel direction of a vehicle. In response to determining that the eye trajectory of the pedestrian moves toward the direction that is opposite a travel direction of a vehicle, a perception of the vehicle by the pedestrian can be caused to be modified. Such causing can include causing a behavior of the vehicle to be modified or causing a size of the vehicle presented in an augmented reality display device worn by the pedestrian to the modified.
The vehicles are configured to be capable of mounting an ADK. The vehicle includes a ADK that executes vehicle control in accordance with a command from VP, and a VCIB that performs an interface between ADK and VP by communication through the main bus or through the sub-bus. When communication via the main bus is interrupted, VCIB starts communication via the sub bus, and thereafter, when communication via the main bus becomes possible prior to the elapse of the predetermined period, it starts communication via the main bus, and when the predetermined period elapses, it continues communication via the sub bus regardless of whether communication via the main bus is possible.

COLLISION DETERMINATION APPARATUS AND COLLISION DETERMINATION PROGRAM PRODUCT
A collision determination apparatus calculates an estimated first movement route of an own vehicle in a three-dimensional coordinate system. The three-dimensional coordinate system is defined to have a first axis representing distance in a width direction of the own vehicle, a second axis representing distance in a direction of travel of the own vehicle, and a third axis representing elapsed time from a current time. In response to determination that (i) the own vehicle is turning around a turning center point while following the detected object and (ii) the detected object is a preceding vehicle in front of the own vehicle, the collision determination apparatus calculates, as the estimated second movement route of the detected object, a turning trajectory of the detected object around the turning center point of the own vehicle in the three-dimensional coordinate system.

A processing circuitry generates recognition information on an object shown in camera footage by object recognition processing on the camera footage. The processing circuitry also generates linguistic information on a scene shown in the camera footage by linguistic processing on the camera footage and generates scene information in which the recognition information on a human and the linguistic information on the scene are associated with each other and stores the scene information in the memory device. The processing circuitry further performs reproduction processing of the scene shown in the camera footage based on the scene information. In the reproduction processing, an abstracted image of a space shown in the camera footage is rendered and an abstracted image of the human is rendered thereon. In the reproduction processing, caption information generated from the linguistic information is added to the abstracted image of the space to generate a reproduced image.

Abrégé
A method for determining a complexity of a natural language query includes converting a first natural language query into executable program code, the first natural language query being a query for a first video to be answered by one or more video question answering (VideoQA) models. The method also includes generating, via a complexity model, an abstract syntax tree (AST) based on the executable program code. The method further includes determining, via the complexity model, a complexity of the first natural language query based on quantity of subtrees, from a group of subtrees, that are present in the AST.
The power storage device includes a plurality of first power storage stacks, a plurality of second power storage stacks, a case, a first pressure release valve, a second pressure release valve, a first respiratory membrane, and a second respiratory membrane. The case has a first housing chamber, a second housing chamber, and an isolation wall for blocking. The first pressure release valve and the first respiratory membrane are provided in the first housing chamber. The second pressure release valve and the second respiratory membrane are provided in the second housing chamber.
