Abstract: An open-close body driving motor includes: a motor main body; a driving circuit; and a control circuit that adjusts driving power using PWM control and controls an operation mode of the open-close body to be changeable through the motor main body. The control circuit includes a PWM control unit, and a catch processing unit that determines catching by the open-close body and performs a catch process. When an operation command of the open-close body is created in a state in which a catch prevention function is not operated, the PWM control unit of the control circuit vibrates the motor main body in an audible range, such that the motor main body performs a sound-emitting operation, by including the frequency of the audible range in the control frequency for the PWM control before or during an operation of the open-close body, the operation being based on the operation command.

Abstract: An opening-closing member controller that solves the problem includes a motor, a speed detection unit, an entrapment determination unit, and a control unit. The motor opens and closes an opening-closing member of a vehicle. The speed detection unit outputs a speed signal corresponding to a rotation speed of the motor. The entrapment determination unit determines whether entrapment of foreign material by the opening-closing member has occurred based on the speed signal. The control unit reverses or stops the motor when the entrapment determination unit determines that entrapment has occurred. The entrapment determination unit performs the determination at shorter time intervals when a remote operation switch that is separated from the vehicle is operated to close the opening-closing member than when a vehicle operation switch that is arranged in the vehicle is operated to close the opening-closing member.

Abstract: In a three-dimensional image capturing apparatus (three-dimensional image processing apparatus), a depth obtainment unit obtains L depth information and R depth information from a three-dimensional image, and an image correction unit executes a smoothing process on an end part region of the subject based on the L depth information and the R depth information. As a result, the three-dimensional image processed by the three-dimensional image processing apparatus is a high-quality three-dimensional image that correctly expresses a sense of three-dimensionality and thickness in the subject and that has a low sense of a cardboard cutout effect.

Abstract: A sense of three-dimensionality and thickness is restored to a subject and a high-quality three-dimensional image with a low sense of a cardboard cutout effect is obtained, regardless of the cause of the cardboard cutout effect. In a three-dimensional image capturing apparatus (three-dimensional image processing apparatus) (1000), a depth generation unit (103) obtains L depth information and R depth information from a three-dimensional image, and an image correction unit (104) executes a shadow enhancement process that is stronger on the inside of an object than on the outside of the object, based on the L depth information and the R depth information. Through this, the occurrence of the cardboard cutout effect can be suppressed, and a high-quality three-dimensional image with a reduced cardboard cutout effect can be obtained.

Abstract: A 3D imaging device determines, during imaging, whether the captured images will be perceived three-dimensionally without causing fatigue while simulating actual human perception. In a 3D imaging device, a display information setting unit obtains a display parameter associated with an environment in which a 3D video is viewed, and a control unit determines during 3D imaging whether a scene to be imaged three-dimensionally will be perceived three-dimensionally based on the viewing environment.

Abstract: A 3D imaging device obtains a 3D image (3D video) that achieves an appropriate 3D effect and/or intended placement. The 3D imaging device estimates (calculates) an ideal disparity of a main subject based on a preset viewing environment (display condition) and a distance to the main subject, and obtains a disparity (an actual disparity) of the subject (main subject) actually occurring on a virtual screen. The 3D imaging device obtains a correction disparity using the ideal disparity and the actual disparity, and adds the calculated correction disparity to the 3D image (horizontally shifts the image) to perform appropriate disparity correction. The 3D imaging device obtains a 3D image (3D video) that achieves an appropriate 3D effect and/or intended placement without being affected by a disparity occurring in the horizontal direction caused by insufficient precision (in particular, insufficient optical precision).

Abstract: A three-dimensional image processing device for performing image correction processing on a three-dimensionally-viewed image includes a conversion unit and a composition unit. The conversion unit generates a converted image by performing tone conversion on a pixel value in an object included in the three-dimensionally-viewed image based on a relationship between a pixel value of a pixel of interest that is a processing target and a pixel value of a peripheral pixel of the pixel of interest. The composition unit synthesizes an n-th pixel in a first viewpoint image included in the three-dimensionally-viewed image and a corresponding pixel in a second viewpoint image included in the three-dimensionally-viewed image with a distribution ratio that is based on a subject distance of the n-th pixel. The corresponding pixel is located in the same spatial location as the n-th pixel.

Abstract: A 3D imaging device determines during imaging whether the captured images will be viewed three-dimensionally without causing fatigue while simulating actual human perception. In a 3D imaging device, a warning unit provides a warning to a photographer indicating that the captured images of the scene to be imaged will not be perceived as a 3D video having an appropriate 3D effect when a control unit determines that the captured images will not be perceived as such an appropriate 3D video. The 3D imaging device is prevented from obtaining an inappropriate 3D image (3D video).

Abstract: In the three-dimensional imaging device (three-dimensional image processing device), the depth acquisition unit acquires L depth information and R depth information from a three-dimensional image. The image correction unit adjusts disparities of edge portion areas of a subject based on the L depth information and the R depth information such that the normal positions of the edge portion areas of the subject are farther away. Accordingly, when a three-dimensional image acquired by the three-dimensional imaging device is three-dimensionally displayed, the edge areas of the subject are displayed having a sense of roundness. As a result, a three-dimensional image that has been subjected to processing by this three-dimensional image processing device is a high-quality three-dimensional image that can appropriately reproduce the three-dimensional appearance and sense of thickness of the subject and has little of the cardboard effect.

Abstract: A computing device computes at least one index value for an execution history of opening/closing movement of an openable and closable member. A sensing device outputs signals one after another in response to a change in a rotational state of the electric motor, which is sensed by the sensing device. A setting device sets a masking range for at least one of the signals based on the at least one index value. A determination device determines whether an object is pinched by the openable and closable member based on at least another one of the signals, which is outputted in a range other than the masking range, without referring to the at least one of the signals in the masking range during execution of the opening/closing movement of the openable and closable member.
