  • Patent number: 11970186
    Abstract: An automotive arithmetic system includes a main arithmetic unit that generates a travel route using deep learning based on an output from a vehicle external information acquisition device; an auxiliary arithmetic unit that generates a rule-based travel route in a free space without using deep learning; a safe route generation unit that generates a safe route, which is a route that the motor vehicle takes until the motor vehicle stops at a safe stop position; and an override processing unit that prioritizes one of the travel route generated by the main arithmetic unit, the rule-based travel route generated by the auxiliary arithmetic unit, or the safe route generated by the safe route generation unit, and determines a target motion of the motor vehicle so that the motor vehicle travels on the prioritized route.

  • Publication number: 20240100783
    Abstract: A fusion sheet includes: a base material layer including a first surface and a second surface; a fusion base part partially stacked to the first surface of the base material layer and fusible to a wire-like transmission member; and an adhesive base part partially stacked to the second surface of the base material layer and having larger adhesive strength with an adhesive member than the base material layer. A first section and a second section are provided along an extension direction of the base material layer. The first section is a section where the adhesive base part is stacked to the base material layer other than a laminated section where the adhesive base part is stacked. The second section is a section where the adhesive base part is stacked to the base material layer other than a laminated section where the fusion base part is stacked.

  • Patent number: 8831330
    Abstract: This invention provides a parameter determination assisting device and a parameter determination assisting program enabling a more rapid and easy determination of a parameter to be set in a processing device, which obtains a processing result by performing a process using a set of parameters defined in advance on image data obtained by imaging a measuring target object. A user can easily select an optimum parameter set when a determination result and a statistical output are displayed in a list for each of a plurality of trial parameter candidates. For instance, while trial numbers “2”, “4”, and “5”, in which the number of false detections is zero, can perform a stable process, the parameter set of the trial number “2” is comprehensively assumed as optimum since the trial number “2” can perform the process in the shortest processing time length.

  • Patent number: 8620060
    Abstract: The present invention provides a model image acquisition support apparatus, a model image acquisition support method, and a model image acquisition support program that can easily and swiftly obtain an optimum model image for an image processing apparatus that performs matching processing based on a model image set in advance with respect to a measurement image that is obtained by imaging an object. A plurality of model image candidates, serving as candidates for model image, are extracted from a reference image obtained by imaging an object which can be a model. Matching processing with the plurality of extracted model images is executed on measurement images actually obtained by a visual sensor, so that trial results are obtained. A trial result is generated upon evaluating each of the trial results of the matching processing with the model image. An optimum model image is determined based on the evaluation result.
