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

Claim 1:
2. 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 encoding the measurement data to generate the pattern data, the encoding the measurement data comprising converting a distance of the plurality of distances to a first value when the distance is within a predetermined range and converting the distance to a second value different from the first value when the distance is not within the predetermined range; and
acquire operation information of the moving object based on the pattern data obtained by the data processing.
