Publication number: 20240105053Abstract: To improve efficiency of road surveillance, a road surveillance system includes a detection unit 122 and a processing unit 134. The detection unit 122 detects a road state being a state of an object on a road by processing an image in which the road is captured. The processing unit 134 performs, when the road state satisfies a first criterion, any of notification processing of making a notification of the road state that satisfies the first criterion according to notification setting related to the notification, and change-related processing related to a change in the notification setting, based on whether a second criterion is satisfied. The second criterion is a criterion related to a determination result of whether the road state satisfies the first criterion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Shin Tominaga, Yusuke Imai, Kazutoshi Sagi, Yuzo Senda

Publication number: 20240104931Abstract: A road surveillance system includes a video acquisition unit, a target determination unit, and a display control unit. The video acquisition unit acquires a video that captures a road. The target determination unit determines, based on a result of comparison between at least one frame image constituting the video and a reference image, and a first criterion, whether the at least one frame image is an analysis target. The display control unit causes a display unit to display information based on a result of the determination. The display control unit includes a first control unit and a second control unit. The first control unit causes the display unit to display an analysis result of at least one frame image being determined to be an analysis target. The second control unit causes the display unit to display detection information indicating that a frame image not being an analysis target is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Shin Tominaga, Yusuke Imai, Kazutoshi Sagi, Yuzo Senda

Publication number: 20240104680Abstract: To improve accuracy of a result acquired by analyzing, by using a machine learning model, an image in which a road is captured, an information processing system 100 is an information processing system for collecting a machine learning image, and includes a generation unit 122 and a storage processing unit 123. The generation unit 122 processes an image in which a road is captured, and generates capturing situation information indicating a situation related to capturing of the image. The storage processing unit 123 performs processing for storing an image, based on the capturing situation information.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Shin TOMINAGA, Yusuke IMAI, Kazutoshi SAGI, Yuzo SENDA

Publication number: 20140090507Abstract: A robot arm includes a first arm having a base end portion rotatably connected to an arm base, and a second arm having a base end portion rotatably connected to a tip end portion of the first arm and a tip end portion to which a robot hand is rotatably connected. Further, the robot arm includes a link unit having a base end portion rotatably supported with respect to the arm base and a tip end portion inserted into the first arm at an intermediate portion of the first arm and supported to make relative rotation with respect to the first arm. The link unit rotates the second arm with respect to the first arm by transmitting the relative rotation to the base end portion of the second arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2013Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA YASKAWA DENKIInventors: Kazutoshi IMAI, Nobuyuki FURUKAWA, Tadataka NOGUCHI
