Patent ID: 11879994
Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A data processing apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
perform data processing on measurement data including a plurality of distances according to a distance to a marker to obtain pattern data, the measurement data being obtained by measuring, by using a ranging sensor attached to a moving object, the marker of which surface includes a pattern with different reflection characteristics, the pattern data indicating the pattern of the marker, wherein the data processing comprises generating the pattern data from the distances included in the measurement data, and wherein the generating the pattern data comprises normalizing the measurement data according to the distance to the marker, and encoding the normalized measurement data based on whether or not each distance indicated by the normalized measurement data is within a predetermined range; and
acquire operation information of the moving object based on the pattern data obtained by the data processing, the operation information including information unrelated to an object on which the marker is disposed.
