1. An information processing device comprising:
a processing circuit configured to:
calculate a feature amount to be used for object recognition in stages in each of a plurality of hierarchies;
acquire a feature amount to be used for the object recognition calculated by another processing circuit different from the processing circuit;
combine the calculated feature amount and the acquired feature amount to provide a combined feature amount; and
perform the object recognition on a basis of the combined feature amount, wherein
the processing circuit is provided in a mobile body, and the other processing circuit is provided in another mobile body different from the mobile body, and wherein,
when a distance between the mobile body and the other mobile body is within a predetermined distance, the processing circuit is configured to request the other mobile body to transmit the feature amount calculated by the other processing circuit, of a hierarchy having a same neural network structure as the processing circuit, and
the processing circuit is configured to acquire the feature amount calculated by the other processing circuit, of a hierarchy having a same neural network structure as the processing circuit, among feature amounts calculated by the other processing circuit, the feature amount being transmitted from the other mobile body in response to the request for the feature amount.
