  • Publication number: 20240119600
    Abstract: A video processing device includes a foreground region estimation unit that determines whether a pixel of an input image is a foreground or a background, and a blinking correction unit that determines, for a target pixel on which a foreground and a background have been switched, whether switching between the foreground and the background is a color change in the foreground or in the background by using a lookup table capable of determining whether switching is in the foreground or in the background from a temporal change of a pixel value, and corrects a result of determination as to whether it is the foreground or the background that has been performed for the target pixel in a case where the switching between the foreground and the background is the color change in the foreground or in the background.

  • Patent number: 10883960
    Abstract: A gas sensor has a structure in which a sensor body is secured to a sensor-mounting member using an attachment screw. The gas sensor is capable of ensuring the stability of installation of a protective cover. The gas sensor includes the sensor body in which a sensor device is disposed and the cylindrical attachment screw disposed on an outer circumference of the sensor body to be rotatable. The gas sensor is secured to the sensor-mounting member which has an internal thread engaging the attachment screw and a bearing surface disposed on a front end side of the internal thread. The sensor body has a flange which protrudes outwardly on the front end side of the attachment screw. The flange held between the bearing surface of the sensor-mounting member and the attachment screw in the axial direction. A protective cover is secured to the attachment screw closer to the base end side than an external thread engaging the internal thread is.
